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. We suspect most brokers would be trying to pawn this two-bedroom off in the high $900,000’s. Given the location (steps from…
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?

I’m quite certain this is NOT on the District 15 side of Union Street, which thus changes the school equation considerably – that is, it’s in District 13 instead of District 15, which lowers its value for many families. Other drawbacks: only one bath and no laundry. That said, the apt itself looks nice enough though truthfully I have not seen it. We ourselves have a PS floorthrough that’s a bit bigger than this and we had many brokers come through and slobber all over it and quote very high prices (high 9’s) but that was summer 07 so it’s hard to say how much to look at those prices as any guide. Truly, the market will tell…
I’ll take the person who saw it at their word, but these pictures don’t look like a 1100 sq ft place. None of these rooms look like they’re larger than 12×15 (and most so much smaller). Looks like 850 sq ft from pictures
It looks like a nice apartment, and Union is a fine location.
aha! There is an older Property Shark DOF photo which shows a nice old bay-windowed brownstone. So Shark has one wrong picture.
Well the building picture thing is weird, because that’s the photo Property Shark provides for this address.
I was at the open house. The picture of the building in Brownstoner’s post is not correct. Unfortunately, the owners’ pictures are not that great so a lot of nice features are not shown. Also, the apartment could have been stage better to show off the space. I agree, nothing in the place would be considered “sprawling.”
There is good-sized bay window in the front of the building. Also, the dining area off the living room is a lot bigger than the picture shows (w/ some original built in cabinets). The kitchen and bathroom have both been renovated. The kitchen has a new range and diswasher, w/ grantie counter but the refrigerator looked it was never replaced. The bathroom has been renovated with slate tile. The bedrooms were OK-sized considering you are in a brownstone. Lots of nice original detail throughout, including wood shutters in the bay window that folded out. There is a fairly good-sized room that is being used as an office, which could be another bedroom. I would guess that it as around 1,100 sf, and it comes with storage and shared laundry in the building. Overall, I thought it was well-priced and would be surprised if they don’t get their ask or above.
Nothing sprawls in this place! Small bedroom; closet for a second (and are there any real closets????). It looks like dining area was made into “office” — a steal at $825K — I don’t think so!
