The asking price on this third-floor 2 1/2 bedroom co-op at 16 Lincoln Place in Park Slope was just trimmed from $615,000 to $599,000. The apartment next door, which is of a similar size but probably not identical layout, sold for $615,000 back in September of 2006 so this has to be in the right ballpark. The apartment is pretty non-descript, though we suspect most potential buyers will at least think about tweaking the bathroom and kitchen. The maintenance is a reasonable $611 per month. We suspect a deal will get done pretty quickly at the new price. Agree?

  1. Generally speaking, the price seems ok for a 2B apartment with a decent layout on the western edge of PS.

    But this apartment seems to have all the bad that comes with a prewar apt. and none of the good.

    It looks old and run down but doesn’t possess any of the pre-war detail or charm that makes the b’stoner crowd drool.

    This apartment looks to have been through one or two cheapo renovations in the past. You’d have to spend another 25-40k to bring this up to date. Then you have the equivalent of a modern, new construction condo in the shell of a pre-war coop.

    Seems like a lot to ask for a 1st time buyer who also needs to come up with the 120k down payment. I assume this apartment would mostly appeal to a couple buying their first home. Maybe it would also appeal to someone trading up from a 1b but I would think someone trading up would want to get a little more.

    All that said I bet it still will sell within 5% of the current ask because there isn’t that much out there that is better in this price range.
