Co-op of the Day: 149 Clinton Avenue, #2A
This FSBO from the Brownstoner Marketplace has a very nice feel to it, though we can’t help but feel from the floorplan that it’s a two-bedroom calling out to be turned into a one-bedroom.

This FSBO from the Brownstoner Marketplace has a very nice feel to it, though we can’t help but feel from the floorplan that it’s a two-bedroom calling out to be turned into a one-bedroom. The 850-square-foot listing at 149 Clinton Avenue has been tastefully renovated and despite being on the second floor appears to have very nice light and tree-level views. The asking price is $499,000 with a monthly maintenance of $824. Like it?

I don’t know, folks, but maybe I’ve just been unlucky in Brooklyn. 9-ish ft by 12 ft seems like a pretty decent sized bedroom to me. Brokers have definitely tried to squeeze me into rooms WAY smaller than that.
Couldn’t you just close up the pocket doors and chop through the closet from the hallway to make it feel more like a regular 2-bedroom?
I agree with the comments on the kitchen layout being odd. And the pendant lamp. Those babies are $250 max. You’d think they could throw that in for kicks.
“crappy, wouldn’t give 2 cents to live there.” (STARGAZER)
Ha. I bet you would.
“This is a great breeder pad for breeders to churn out their breeder-fruit.” (BDS)
Did you write this for me? The other day I wrote that I hated that term……
The other “term” is so disgusting it’s…..almost good.
Damn Stargazer lol Id certainly give 2 cents to live there in fact Id prolly pay around 375k for this place…thats what its worth. You can get a million times better deal @ CH co-ops or even Kingsview in terms of actual living space you can get a CH co-op for 350-375k and one at kingsview for 300-350k. This FSBO needs to get a clue, lower your price now or you’ll end up lowering and paying a broker in 3 months when you get so frustrated cuz no one is making any offers on your place. A broker will come in, tell you how delusional you were, charge you 6% and sell it for what you could sell it for now. Do your self a favor…unless you have an offer soon (soon meaning like a week or so) drop it 100k.
Sell it now for 375k and pay only taxes and flip tax if there is one…
OR
Waste the next 3 months not moving it, interveiwing brokers, hiring one, have them tell you its worth 375k, pay them 6% which is approx 22k…and net 22k less
Sorry for being harsh…but its honest
horrible layout. the kitchen is in the living room, the 2nd bedroom is not a bedroom, it should have been the kitchen.
crappy, wouldn’t give 2 cents to live there.
Thank you.
Yours in Snark,

using the official Brownstoner parlance, and noted on the crotch-fruit correction.
> This is a great breeder pad for breeders to churn out their breeder-fruit
If you are aiming to be entertainingly offensive, please use the officially sanctioned term “crotch fruit.” Please refer to page 113 of the manual for further assistance.
This is a great breeder pad for breeders to churn out their breeder-fruit.
> And since when do hallways not count?
The hallway counts, but how useful is that space?
I also just read this detail: “DWR Nelson ceiling pendant light not included in sale price.” At this price, they really should throw in the $300 lamp, not to mention a large bag of cash…
