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 don’t let strangers wash my underwear”
Seek therapy.
Please, 1:24, understand context. People are talking about the PRICE to pay for a place, taking into consideration they’d have to haul their laundry.
I think your comment would be more appropriate if someone had said, “I wouldn’t pay $200,000 for a 2BR place in Park Slope if I had to schlep with my laundry.”
Er, but they didn’t say that, did they? They’re all saying they wouldn’t spend $800,000 for that privilege.
Besides, is nobody picky about how their laundry is done? I sure am. And I don’t let strangers wash my underwear, thank you very much.
600K tops.
um…ever heard of sending your laundry out?
they pick it up, they deliver it folded.
it’s a beautiful thing.
12:55 – Do you mean there is no laundry in the unit or no laundry in the building? And if it’s not in the building, where’s the laundromat? Don’t tell me someone is going to pay 800K and have to schlep laundry in the rain and cold.
1:17 No soup for you!
875 sq ft – my guess. Asking price is a bit high for the sq footage and location. Just bec it’s PS, d’you know how cruddy that area looks like?
Everyone is taking money off because of other reasons, 1:08. As they’re all listing in their posts.
Nobody reads!
Further interpretation of photos as they relate to floorplan – it seems the “dining room” is that cubbyhole behind the couch with the little cafe table for 2.
Between the living room being so small, and that cubby hole not being big enough to seat more than 2, there doesn’t appear to be anyplace to eat except on the couch in front of the TV. Which of course is where most of us eat! But not having a decent size dining area is a problem. In our old 2BR coop in PS, there was enough room for a sofa, two chairs, a coffee table and TV and bookcases in the living room area. Without being crowded. Plus a table to seat 4 in the dining area, easily expandable to 6 for dinner parties. Just pointing this out because our layout is very common in Park Slope. It was a standard coop layout. And if people can get that layout easily, WITH laundry inside the unit as well which this one doesn’t have, I don’t see them spending over $800,000 on this unit.
