Co-op of the Day: Another One at 24 Monroe Place
They’re cutting prices over at 24 Monroe Place like it’s some new sub-standard Fedders box in less tony nabe! First there was the four-bedroom that was cut early last week from $2,400,000 to $1,950,000. Then later in the week, the price on this two-bedroom was trimmed from $1,195,000 to $1,125,000. Like the four-bedroom, this one’s…

Like the four-bedroom, this one’s also a classic in great shape; like the four-bedroom, it’s weakness is probably the size of its kitchen. Overall, though, this is a great layout. This price can’t be off by much, can it?

True, 3:58pm. Even The Vermeil’s $1.6 million condos don’t have a separate dining room. The kitchen consists of some cabinets tacked up on the wall in the corner of the living room, like all the new-build condos’ kitchens, with the assumption one puts the dining table against the wall near the kitchen.
2:05… that is in fact a door in the kitchen, leading to the service stairwell. The small cabinet in front of the door is on wheels, in case the door needs to be accessed. Strange but functional.
There’s a dearth of 2BR’s with separate dining rooms, and that’s part of their pricing strategy. It’s a very nice place.
Apparently not the best street translates into a sale.
Thanks for all your expert advice though, 1:39…oh wait…and all the other posters on this thread.
it’s posted with In Contract in bold red letters so apparently someone thought it was worth it! i’ve seen other apartments in this building and that door in the kitchen leads to a back staircase for garbage and things…
I reiterate my comment from 1.39pm…it’s not the “best” street. it’s just a fine/normal one…actually Grace Court, in my humble opinion, is THE BEST STREET!
When you search for a 2br, 2 bath, that has equivalent floorspace, you’d be hard-pressed to find one in this price range…talking about in the brooklyn heights/cobble hill area. If you do, please post b/c i can’t find any
Let the trashing of yet another “overpriced” apartment begin only to find out it sold in a week…
BTW, did anyone else notice that open houses were crowded as hell yesterday? Went to two and I could barely move.
Did anyone notice that this place is listed as In Contract?
“Not the best street in bklyn”? Have you been down Monroe Place? It’s (1) incredibly quiet due to the fact that it’s only two blocks long, (2) tree-lined and just generally lovely, and (3) conveniently close to several subway lines (the 2/3 down the block, the AC, as well as a short walk from the Boro Hall station).
It may not be THE BEST street in Brooklyn, but it’s very close to being ONE of the best.
2:00pm, Here’s the loop I’m in. I just sold my Manhattan 2BR to buy a 3BR in Brooklyn for less money.
I’m just saying that I can’t see 2 bedroom coops in family neighborhoods of Brooklyn fetching the same prices as they do in family neighborhoods of Manhattan. “On Prospect Park” and “One Brooklyn Bridge Park” are special buildings, but I would be shocked if their per sqare foot prices approached those of premier new construction in Manhattan.
