Co-op of the Day: 801 Union Street #2
The owners who are selling this second-floor co-op at 801 Union Street claim that the offering price of $825,000 is less than all the brokers who keep calling them say it’s worth. We’d agree.

The owners who are selling this second-floor co-op at 801 Union Street claim that the offering price of $825,000 is less than all the brokers who keep calling them say it’s worth. We’d agree. We suspect most brokers would be trying to pawn this two-bedroom off in the high $900,000’s. Given the location (steps from Union Market) and the charming original detail, $720 a foot seems like a good deal to us, especially since the maintenance is only $636. Would you agree? Anyone make it to the open house yesterday?

The apartment looks to be ~1000 sqft
quote from 4:40–
“If the building is 19 x 65 take a foot off on each end for the thickness of the outer walls which brings the interior space to 17 x 63. Estimate 125 to 150 sq ft for the hallway so the apartment would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 950 sq ft. “

Dreary? Who are you, Edgar Allen Poe?
The owners do seem nice, but I still think the apartment is pretty dreary looking.
Hi, We’re the sellers.
Thanks for the feedback. We’ve posted a floorplan and additional photos at the website (parkslopeproductions.com/801union). Sorry our photography skills suck.
It’s 1,300 square feet if you go by the building dimensions (which is what the broker who sold it to us did). We believe it’s roughly 1,150 sq feet of livable space.
The master bedroom is not 17×22. We wish. It’s actually 17×11’6″.
Way, way, way overpriced. No way will they get that insane asking price.
Does anybody have experience with a four unit co-op? The one person I knew in such a small co-op hated it, but I was curious if anybody has good experiences to report. Thanks.
“the big bedroom is 17×22”
!/3 of the apartment?
Sounds a trifle hard to believe.
9:19…are you ok?
