This FSBO at 101 Lafayette Avenue (aka The Griffin) in Fort Greene recently came online on the Brownstoner Marketplace. In addition to the great windows and views and the classic prewar details, this junior one-bedroom has a very attractively renovated kitchen. The asking price is $399,000, which is more than the same line on the 9th-floor sold for at the bottom of the market, but that was a lower floor and probably was not in as good shape. The monthly maintenance is $793. What do you think?

“What makes you think that the market has bottomed Brownstoner?”
Seriously. Nice sneaky piece of propaganda.
***Bid half off peak comps***
“A small apartment does not need a dish washer, but rather have more cabinets….”
having a dishwasher frees up a TON of counter space – which is more useful than cabinet space.
The windows look pretty, but they are not efficient. The open shelves over the stove and sink is a big no-no.
A small apartment does not need a dish washer, but rather have more cabinets….
really, a dishwasher in that tiny apartment….like how many dinner parties could one possible have that you would need to wash all those dishes…..
Having seen a ton of apartments in this building, the studios which have sold for around 300K were NOT alcove at all. Just one square room with a single window.
This looks to be more than that.
The description was great until the part about the $793/month maintenance. Ouch.

Glorified studio. For $300K and you can get a real one bedroom with pre-war layout at clinton hill coops.
Lovely renovations, cute as a button, but too expensive.
Seller, look at the comps, the high-floor studios go for 280-310K. Yours is definitely at the top end, in terms of finishes and a nice wall to separate the alcove, but that’s too much of a premium. $350K top.
I’m guessing this is 500+ sf, so price per square foot is a tad high. But should sell for around $375k given how nice it is and the location.
