Co-op of the Day: 47 Plaza Street West, #11C
How sweet it is! This four-bedroom apartment at 47 Plaza Street West in Park Slope has to be one of the finer pads within walking distance of the Park Slope Co-op. After spending the summer on the market, the 11th floor co-op sat out the fall selling season before getting back in the game again…
How sweet it is! This four-bedroom apartment at 47 Plaza Street West in Park Slope has to be one of the finer pads within walking distance of the Park Slope Co-op. After spending the summer on the market, the 11th floor co-op sat out the fall selling season before getting back in the game again this week with a price tag of $1,995,000. In addition to the size (2,270 square feet) and all the prewar detail, we are mighty impressed with all the windows and views this place brings to the table. Maintenance is a tough-to-swallow $3,008 per month though.

So… $3000 per month is a lot? 🙂
(just teasing. but yes, wealthy people are a bit of a mystery to me. it’s like a vegan wanting to know what a hot dog tastes like.)
Tybur6 no offense but are wealthy people such a mystery to you (and others, just picking on you bc of your post) that it is inconceivable to understand that somone who can afford a 2m apartment may not be able to afford one that is effectively 2.6m? Yet every single time an 1m+ listing. Occurs that requires very high carry (either maintennce or taxes or school) and the carry costs are mentioned, someone has to reflexivly post something to the effect….does these expenses matter for someone who can afford this place….let me answer this one last time because apparently some people are so naive about people who earn more than 350k that they can’t even utilize reasonable judgement….
YES EXPENSES MATTER….people buying a home generally have some budget, people don’t cross shop 2m altar with 20m altar for a reason….there money is limited to some extent (granted higher then yours) but still limited and so if a unit (in virtually any priced range) has unusually high expenses then IT MATTERS, so please stop asking.
11217 — I’m talking when you are already plopping down Two Million for an apartment. Like I said, these numbers don’t even register in my head. $1500 to $4000…. or anything in between. It’s all more than I even pay for rent.
But to be fair, I would really like to have one of those little tip-o-the-triangle rooms. Maybe that’s worth the equivalent of $2.6 million!
This one was built in 1928, Dave.
I looked at an apartment for sale in a Candela building on West End Avenue when I was looking…also very well managed and the price was right, but the maintenance put it above my budget.
It had a gorgeous lobby though…
When I was 10, one of my best friends lived in this apartment (lower floor, I think, but same layout). I remember that I felt so sorry for him that he had to live in such a small apartment in an icky building in a noisy location.
From a design standpoint, all of the interior walls are masonry. In the hallway, outside my unit, I could hear the guy at the end of the hall playing his piano but once inside my apartment, I never heard a sound froma ny other aprtment, including above.
My old building, 135 East 54th Street, is a Candela building as well, built in 1948. I’d have to say, though it was an incredibly well managed condo, the building itself was rather blah.
A few years back we looked at this same line of apartments on a different floor. It’s a great building, self managed and in immaculate condition. The only nitpick is the shape of the master BR. Great to have all those windows, but the odd shape makes it a challenge to fit a queen-sized bed (I remember this from my visit to the other apartment too). There is very little closet space in the MBR, though you could use one of the other three bedrooms for clothes storage.
I almost never do take out, Denton. Maybe 10 times a year, if that.
I eat out often and cook a ton.
