Co-op of the Day: 62 Montague Street, #7D

This new FSBO listing in the Brownstoner Marketplace isn’t huge (650 square feet) but it has a lot of charm; located at 62 Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights, it’s also got a great location. The bedroom looks on the small side but the kitchen and living area is very light and has lots of original detail. There’s also a common roof deck with killer views. Price: $549,000. Worth it?

“My exquisite intuition told me it was probably not so much about this apartment…..”
Funny, Nomi.
Wow, funny to come here later in the day and see 68 comments for a modest coop. My exquisite intuition told me it was probably not so much about this apartment…..
Looks tight but pretty. The asking price is what you’d expect in BH, more or less if there’s no major exaggerating with the square feet. So’s the maintenance. Though, yeah, no doorman makes it on the high side.
(I see there’s storage in the basement, but turning that walk-in closet into an office would leave you with no place to store anything or hang a shirt. We have one NOT walk-in closet in a similarly sized apt. and it sucks butt. I remember growing up hearing about coveted closet space in the city. It was so meaningless to me as I, after the age of five, grew up in houses. Now I get it…..)
“I’d probably go for Brooklyn Heights and just deal with having no park nearby”
The amazing Brooklyn Bridge Park anyone???
And, for good measure, Governors Island might as well be in BH/CH since the ferry (which takes all of 3 minutes) leaves from Pier 6 in BBP.
(And, FTR, I’m neither insecure about my neighborhood, nor did I overpay for the house that I sold in 2006.)
I don’t think anything said on this blog will get within 45 mins. of my comps, let alone tweak them.
“Did everyone pay too much pre-2008”
Yes I did.
“and you think that in some alternative universe the opinions expressed here will tweak your comps?”
No I don’t.
64 posts and nobody can’t post a decent comp?
This Montague apt is vastly overpriced.
I hope no svcker get stupid enought to buy it.
This apt below, is bigger, on a higher floor and $200K cheaper! Given the maintenance is a little more.

Don’t we all agree Park Slope is annoying because 11215ers take themselves way too seriously?
“Did everyone pay too much pre-2008 and you think that in some alternative universe the opinions expressed here will tweak your comps?”
bingo
I wonder how many B’stoner comment threads turn into “my hood is better than yours” digressions? What’s with the insecurity? Did everyone pay too much pre-2008 and you think that in some alternative universe the opinions expressed here will tweak your comps?
Relax, people.
