Co-op of the Day: 69 Pierrepont Street FSBO
Undeterred by the tougher market, one seller in Brooklyn Heights has chosen to go the For Sale By Owner route. Of course, it helps when you’ve got a sweet pad to work with, which is the case with this two-bedroom in the beautiful 40-unit co-op building at 69 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights.

Undeterred by the tougher market, one seller in Brooklyn Heights has chosen to go the For Sale By Owner route. Of course, it helps when you’ve got a sweet pad to work with, which is the case with this two-bedroom in the beautiful 40-unit co-op building at 69 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights. We’re liking what we’re seeing—open living area, nice prewar details, nice light. Given that the apartment measures in at 1,200 square feet, the asking price of $949,000 doesn’t seem crazy on a psf basis. The most recent apartment in the building to change hands went for $875,000 but that could have been a smaller or less attractive unit for all we know. How does this price sound to you? In case the NYT listing expires, the owner can be reached at Pierrepont2BR AT gmail DOT com.

Oh darn.
The guy in the painting is not naked–I think he’s wearing beige khakis.
Hey 3;14 your little theory about a FSBO is wrong. My wife sold her Gramercy Park one bedroom for about 75,000 more that what a broker told her to list it at. SO she walked away with alot more money than some BROKER told her and no broker fee. God bless this country and don’t listen to brokers.
Can I get a closer look at the naked guy in the stockings?
I can really only speak to “mom scene” in PS and BH. I lived and loved PS for some time. It’s lovely, park is lovely, and has great amenities. It’s also very open-minded as long as you do things just the right way (from G-diapers to a certain music class to breastfeeding). I found it a hard place to parent even tho I often held similar beliefs.
I moved reluctantly to BH and found the parenting scene much easier. Maybe one thing is that while children are central to people’s lives, it isn’t the only thing. People leave their children with a sitter, go out to dinner in manhattan, and DON”T talk about their kids!
Also, people in BH use Manhattan more. I found most people I knew in PS spent most of their “off-time” in PS. Clearly, this is because there’s just nothing to do in BH! But I enjoy seeing Manhattan again.
(also, can’t compare schools but PS8 is fantastic)
5:52. are you quoting curbed.com as if it’s an actual news story?
It’s that all that unclear on where things stand with the park. Coalition, City and State finally all on same page with same schedule
where do you buy 2000 sqft for 950? I’d love to see a link to this. Views? etc
Anyway, here’s my issue with condos. As much as I like new stuff, I hate all condos 15-20 yrs or older. So I figure: how great is that Two Trees condo look going to sell when I sell? It all seems so dated already. Also, sure original owners are involved, etc. But as people sell (or can’t sell and lease), you’ll see a lot more students, shares, etc.
You may not like co-op boards, but you can’t argue that their value have held up historically. Show me an 80s condo and a prewar that was sold in the 80s and compare how much they are worth now.
OCTOBER 17, 2007 – BROOKLYN HEIGHTS— It’s very unclear where things stand with the Brooklyn Bridge Park plans, but the planning process is starting “for how the park will be used.” There will be some public meetings starting October 30 to deal with what kinds of activities will be in the park, funding and whether programs in the $150 million park should be free or whether people should pay. No word on when there might be an actual park, plus the condos that are part of the plan.
Actually there is a door from the bathroom into the bedroom AS WELL as the foyer, if you’ll notice…
