This one-bedroom a block from Prospect Park will undoubtably hold some appeal for those partial to the old-school brownstone aesthetic. The co-op at 915 President Street in Park Slope has some lovely parquet floors and a nice old fireplace to anchor the living room. On the downside, the bedroom is tiny and the bathroom and kitchen appear not to have been touched since some time in the 1980s. The asking price of $400,000 is also $50,000 higher than any unit in the 12-unit building has ever sold for. That said, it appears to be on a high floor with nice light, so maybe it does deserve premium. Anyone in the market for a one-bedroom in this area care to weigh in?

  1. back to reality.

    this is too much unless you are totally obsessed with living right there.

    the sq. foot price for old kitchen/bath is way too high. you can find a new condo with washer/dryer and at least thru the wall if not central air.

    also, if you’re single/alone? do you really want to live in the middle of stroller mania? so far from any kind of nightlife? even old people nightlife?

  2. For 3 Million more, you can have a house on President. But if you had three million, you could make 5% interest by putting it in the bank. And you could live in your parents’ basement in Queens, and buy some gold, and drink your own urine and watch late night TV with ‘The What’.

  3. 3:41- what’s your point? Take inflation into account and compare a person who made 300K vs. someone who made nothing. It’s not as if people who have sat out of the market weren’t subject to the same costs and market forces. The guy who made 300K did 300K better.

  4. Any person who owned real estate prior to 2000 in New York City and sold anytime after 2002 or 2003 made a BUNDLE.

    I have no idea why someone would even remotely denounce that notion.

    The same 1 bedroom you could buy in 1999 on the Upper West Side for 250K now sells for upwards of a million dollars.

    And you don’t think any of these people made money?
