Co-op of the Day: 1 Plaza Street, #9D
If you’re looking for a two-bedroom in prime Park Slope location and can survive with only one bathroom, you could do worse than this co-op at 1 Plaza Street. The ninth-floor pad has corner exposure and the views are killer. The prewar details are also exactly what you’d hope for. The maintenance for the 1,000-square-foot…
If you’re looking for a two-bedroom in prime Park Slope location and can survive with only one bathroom, you could do worse than this co-op at 1 Plaza Street. The ninth-floor pad has corner exposure and the views are killer. The prewar details are also exactly what you’d hope for. The maintenance for the 1,000-square-foot apartment is $1,318, maybe a touch higher than you’d like to see but not unreasonable for a full-service building.

Oh, too bad about the traffic noise even on the high floors. Was wondering about that.
“It definitely looks like SBO (staging by owner). They’ve done nothing to make the place look nicer, but they probably feel (with some justification) that the size, light, and finishes will sell themselves and that they just needed to avoid distracting from those virtues.” (novanglus)
Agree.
It’s my kind of apartment, though. The way they should be…
The photos of 9D and 11D looked about as good as 9D.
Certainly not $100k worse.
some apartments are in terrible shape others in the same line have been renovating beautifully and are in move-in condition.
comps are complicated. its not like comparing the prices of bushels of soybeans.
well, those seem like obvious comps, so you wonder – are they pricing high and expecting to get about what their neighbors got? I’ll never understand pricing strategies out of line with obvious comps. Sometimes a buyer who really wants it comes along and overpays; sometimes they don’t.

Hmmmm, so it does seem about $100k overpriced after all.
I love big pre-war buildings, with large sprawling rooms and layouts. I’ve been in this building – and in this line! Unlike those in manhattan, this building, because of its location, offers tons of light in every apartment above the second floor, and in every room. Closet space is okay. The layouts are pretty good – but unfortunately because of the way the doors are placed in the living/dining room, furniture placement is a bit awkward. Nevertheless, the biggest problem with this building is….street noise. The apartment we were in was on the 11th floor, and had newish looking windlows, but it was like we were sitting right in grand army plaza. Perhaps the apartment sfacing the other side are quieter.
As to price – compared to what has sold in this building over the past couple years, its pretty aggressive. also, the same apt on the 5th floor, which needs kitchen/bath reno, is listed at $599K w/lower maintenance.
I am guessing it will get near ask though. Plenty of folks like me that would rather live in a pre-war apt like this than in a chopped up brownstone floor-through.
Ok, yeah, bland staging/living(but really, I can easily see what I could do with this apartment with the addition of some COLOR); high maintenance (but quite low priced, I think, to somewhat offset that, and at least it is an elevator building with some services for maintenence); noisy corner (but that goes with the location, which has other amenities); and one bathroom (but not all of us need two.)
If I looking nowand the high maintenance/elevator building thing was doable for me, I’d be on this in a minute.
The traffic makes it a very noisy corner, even on high floors. I think the price is about $100K too high.
is it one large bathroom at least?
