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…
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 $1,250,000 around the $1,000 $825 per square foot mark. 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?

anything nice in the named streets between 6th and prospect park west is indeed going for 1000 psf from my experience.
btw, there are about to be at least one (perhaps 3) brownstones going for sale on berkeley between 7th and 8th. the owner just died.
not sure where or how they will be marketed and they need a TON of work, but there it is…
1:26…bitter corcoran agent who didn’t get this listing. run down does not equate to not beautiful. if you know anything about brownstone brooklyn, most of them were run down and the revitalization of them is what this blog is about. if you can’t see the beauty in a run down or dirty building, you belong sticking to selling (or not selling as the case may be) down at the novo.
Wow, is $1000/sf the going rate now for a PS apt? And this one is not even in District 15 (where the best schools are). How are apartments holding up in this market?
“that building is simply beautiful”
Sure, looks nice on the outside. Run down on the inside. Once you’re inside, it feels like your grandmother’s building, with an equally dingy, dated, unwashed interior.
I don’t think I lost “most everyone”, particularly not anyone who has visited this building. Sorry to disappoint you (and your seller client).
“very generic, unimpressive building.”
you just lost most everyone. say what you will about the apartment (i happen to think it’s stunning) but if those are the words you use to describe this building, i’m really not certain why you read this blog.
that building is simply beautiful.
I agree with 1:06. Beautiful place, just not $1.25 MM beautiful.
This has been listed for quite some time. I actually went to the open house, and I can tell you this FAR from “one gorgeous apartment”. It is very small for the price, has a freaky weirdo elevated platform near the kitchen that defies all architectural and aesthetic sense, and is in a very generic, unimpressive building.
Other than that, it’s okay at best.
It will continue to be listed for a long long long long long time if the price stays close to where it is.
one cheesy opening line in the listing narrative.
one gorgeous apartment.
perfect location as well.
oh nevermind. i see.
the top floor unit already sold.
my bad.
