Co-op of the Day: 10 8th Avenue
Prime, baby. Prime. This parlor-floor two-bedroom at 10 8th Avenue in Park Slope has a lot going for it: Original detail, high ceilings, new kitchen, convenient location. As best we can figure, it’s probably about 1,200 1,500 square feet or so (the bottom two floors have a 15-foot extension), which puts the asking price of…

The top floor unit, which must have lower ceilings and may have a smaller layout depending on setbacks in the rear, sold for $865,000 in the summer of 2006. The most similar listing we can recall was the parlor-floor unit at 101 8th Avenue that Warren Lewis had listed for $995,000. Think $1,250,000 is stretching it?

Agreed, 3:22. Gorilla is number one. Don’t know how Ozzies stays in business it’s so bad.
ozzie’s is swill. gorilla!
Yep, we like d’vine taste for specialty items. But that and Back to the Land are the only places I go on 7th. All the groceries, butchers and restaurants we prefer and regularly patronize are on 5th. Not bashing 7th. Just saying we use 5th most often.
5th is awesome! i go there whenever possible.
but 7th still has great options…and some of the more necessary things. i prefer living closer to 7th/8th, nearer to the park and still 5 min walk to 5th.
some things on 7th worth visiting:
1. brand new renovated key food with self checkout.
2. back to the land
3. d’vine taste
4. moim
5. cousin john’s bakery
6. la taqueria
7. chiles and chocolates
8. ozzie’s coffee shop
9. ps. 321 flea market
those are just off the top of my head.
7th avenue still has a purpose, contrary to popular belief.
Wow, rough crowd here. I think the apartment is really beautifully renovated. No clue if the price is fair or not but I don’t see how anyone can say its not a beautiful interior.
These ceilings are high. It’s just those ultra-wide angle lens pictures BHS uses lately that make the ceilings look low. The image is distorted, squished down as it’s spread out wider. It’s really unflattering; I don’t get why such an extreme lens is used.
The apartment is pretty, but it won’t sell for $1.2 million as a 2BR. Doesn’t matter how large the apartment is, a 2BR is a 2BR. One can get a cute 2BR brownstone coop on a prime Park Slope street that has yet to be renovated, for $400K less than this. Plus I’d find it annoying to be on 8th Avenue. I know it’s supposed to be a more desirable avenue, but I myself don’t go anywhere on 7th Ave, just 5th Ave. Which means you’re 3 long avenue blocks from the best new amenities.
Building is 25 x 60 = 1500 sq. ft.
Offer Price is $1.25m
Price Per Sq Ft. = $833.33
WRONG
you can’t multiply outside dimensions of the building to get square footage. At the very least you have to subtract the common stairway which usually is ~200 square feet. You generally also take a slice off for exterior walls, so that the final square footage figure still includes all the interior walls, closets and so on, and is a lot more than just the sum of the rooms.
So at 1.25m this is pretty damn close to $1000 per square foot especially including closing costs and mansion tax.
Hey, I think I saw 2.08’s house! Totally nice — bamboo plantings and a great outdoor dining area — large bedroom with sliding door upstairs — right? Wouldn’t appeal to most of this crowd, given the frame-house-hating that goes on. But I liked it lots.
ok….so it was 1000 sf house between 4th and 5th.
this is about the same size or a little bigger than your house and right by the park.
tell me again what the comparison is?
you don’t think location has anything to do with price?? for 350K more, i think a lot more people would be interested in 8th avenue than 4th avenue.
