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.

  1. Looks nice and I’m sure it will sell; but I don’t know that developers in “fringe” neighborhoods need to cringe. A couple of things going against this place; no doorman, only 1 bathroom, window AC units, no gym or other amenities, high maintenance. Full disclosure … I bought an 1800 sq ft apt in BellTel for $70K less than this an am pretty happy about it. Like I said, I’m sure this will sell (and probably quickly at that price) but you still get quite a bit more at the “fringe” at cheaper prices

    And it’s a painting.

    Looks like over the past two years, Park Slope has surpassed Brooklyn Heights on condo and co-op prices.

    A place like this on a prime Park Slope block would be going for more than this.

  3. 1:38…your post just signifies that not only do you not read the posts (because as someone pointed out, this home is for sale by owner) but you’ve basically now invalidated every ignorant “it’s a broker” comment made thus far and into the future.

    it’s just nonsense.

  4. I think this is a fair price, but really, it’s hard to deny that Brooklyn Heights is an exceptionally boring neighborhood filled with banker types and with a serious dearth of good restaurants, bars and stores. That being said, it is incredibly beautiful and extremely convenient and I would certainly choose it over park slope in a second.
