Co-op of the Day: 309 Sixth Avenue, #1
This new co-op listing at 309 Sixth Avenue sure is handsome. The three-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath apartment sports nice original details, a recently renovated kitchen and a private garden. And at $500 a month, the maintenance is quite low. The asking price for what we’re guessing is about a 1,200-square-foot apartment is $1,050,000. How does that…

Mopar;
Yes, taxes are extra. But because of abatement, they are $70/month for next 15 years, and then phased in to full amount 5 years thereafter.
The kitchen, Dining Room and Bedroom windows are in the shaft, which gets zero light unless you are on the top…
I don’t know why they made these shafts so freaking narrow back in the day. We had nothing but land, but they shoved everything so close together…..
but benson – your building is probably lacking “soul”
Ah! So taxes are extra. Still, sounds like you have a good deal, Benson.

1) It’s a condo, not a coop. Don’t have building mortgage to worry about.
2) Tight-fisted Board!
3) No major repairs (yet – we’re 5 years old).
price is 2 damn high!
I think this would be a great apartment for around $850-900k.
Re the kids, just take all six of them and stack them in bunk beds in one room, then use the other as the office.
Benson, that sounds like a very good deal. Why is the maintenance so low on your place — usually new places have high maintenance. I wouldn’t worry about Montrose not writing it up either.
Nomi, I always thought dressers in the living room were kind of cool looking ever since I saw a pretty one in a magazine with a cocktail setup on a tray on the top with a lamp and a painting behind it. Chair next to it. Everything stacked all over the place.
