This 15th-floor listing at 9 Prospect Park West just hit the market with a price tag of $3,495,000. The four-bedroom pad has clearly had a no-expense-spared renovation that has resulted in some very impressive finishes while sacrificing some of the prewar vibe that personally we’d want from an apartment in this building. And while we the whole look is a little “over-designed” for our taste, the apartment is still pretty darn impressive, from the insane views over the park to a beautifully done (and massive) eat-in kitchen. Places like this don’t come cheap: The asking price is $3,495,000, and the new owner will be responsible for carrying a monthly maintenance charge of $3,930.

I think this apartment would be so much more appealing if it retained more of its pre-war roots in bones and/or decor. While the sleek/minimalist look may lure buyers with this kind of money to spend, I think the building itself would not appeal to that type of buyer. It has a very old NY vibe…think something easily found on Riverside Drive or CPW. Like other posters said, the reno reads too much like boutique hotel room from recent years.
Despite the decor issues, it’s envy-inducing spacious, has a primo location, and the owner will enjoy stunning views (regardless of any photoshopping in the listing). That asking price is going to be tough to pull off though.
All but one bath spanking new and hi-end. My big complaint is no private outdoor space. For that money I would find myself a place with a fabulous terrace. The owners furnishings are a bit bland, lending a residential apartment feel to the place. It needs color and warmth but any buyer can provide that. In fact, any interior designer could make this place sing! I’ll be curious to see what it goes for.
You do know that this building houses a United States Senator and his former city commissioner wife. Caveat emptor.
if this place was designed to look like the sumptuous, sprawling prewar that it is, it could get something close to the price. but it has been designed to look like a generic box in a generic new building in downtown brooklyn and I think that will put off buyers.
Horrible NIMBY neighbor snark aside…
I dunno, this place seems oddly *small* in the photos. We’re talking about a $3.5 million apartment with park views. There’s something not very grand about it for that amount of money.
$1,250 a square foot and a 4k monthly maintenance? For this?
No. Way.
Look at the unbelievable duplex with views galore and a library, and coffered ceilings etc., also with a high maintenance, but much more square footage and a better layout, that had to go down way below this to get the deal done. On PPW.
No. Way.
You’d have to deal with truly terrible neighbors: this building is the epicenter of the safety-loathing NIMBYs who are suing their own neighbors to roll back successful street safety improvements.
Man o’ man. How could they possibly imagine getting this sort of money for this place?! There’s that death trap outside their windows killing old ladies and interfering with the smooth flow of the formerly majestic 3-lane superhighway.
Given the horror show outside, I can’t think they’ll get anything over $1.2 million and that’s probably a stretch.
M4L, I hear you, but I have to say… I was the president of a 10 unit coop in Brooklyn Heights for a decade (nobody would replace me, since it was a totally s#!itty job part super / part mediator / part snake charmer). The idea of having that much money sunk in a coop gives me the shakes. If we had “issues” with our building, I can’t imagine being the big Kahuna in a Park Slope coop building to the tune of 3.6 million and a 4K maintenance nut per month!!!
