Co-op of the Day: 19 Seventh Avenue Studio
Okay, we know you’re not going to find anything else for much cheaper in Park Slope Proper, but still, paying $249,000 for this glorified shoe box in an otherwise generously-sized brownstone at 19 Seventh Avenue seems like a bit of a stretch to us.

Okay, we know you’re not going to find anything else for much cheaper in Park Slope Proper, but still, paying $249,000 for this glorified shoe box in an otherwise generously-sized brownstone at 19 Seventh Avenue seems like a bit of a stretch to us. The listing spins the place as “cozy” and plays up the “modern” kitchen but, eesh, after you put down $50,000, you’ll be paying, what, $1,200 a month in mortgage plus another few hundred bucks in maintenance? We can’t see a whole lot of upside when it comes to resale (and can easily imagine a scenario in which you can’t even get your down payment back out) so why not just rent?

not gonna happen, 2:57.
220 and call it a day.
that’s about $1000 a month to own a small studio in park slope (after tax deductions).
doesn’t get any cheaper.
im telling you guys.
put in a 150k offer and wait.
usually the basements have storage.
this unit is on the garden level.
there is still a basement below it, like all brownstones…
And where would a bike rider park their bike in this place? Does the building have bike storage or has all of the basement been converted to “living” space?
Well, I hope 12:27PM that you’re correct about the purchase price… would love to see that come down… alot…and if it has been on the market for 6 months perhaps a
more realistic offer would be accepted.
The unit’s been on the market for more than six months. It’s not about the size, this place is a joke. Go take a look at it if you don’t believe me. I bet someone gets this for under 200K after it languishes for a while longer.
That’s the situation 11:35AM … such a lovely brownstone in a terrific location… small or not, the unit is going to sell rather quickly I bet.
Most folks in the neighborhood go to work,in their leisure time are out riding bikes, walking in the park, going to summer concerts, enjoying all the amenities of the neighborhood, they’re not “housebound”… another plus, so many activities can be enjoyed “for free” or darn close to it! 🙂
It’s a tough call.
On one hand it is small.
On the other hand, NOTHING in this part of Park Slope sells for less than a 250K.
Literally, NOTHING.
I bet they get close to the 250k.
damn right…
maybe 150k
