Co-op of the Day: 147 Prospect Park Southwest
We think this prewar two-bedroom co-op at 147 Prospect Park Southwest is looking like a decent buy at $574,000. The sponsor unit has beautiful parquet floors, beamed ceilings and stripped wood moldings; it also has a separate dining area. In addition, the monthly maintenance of $727 seems reasonable for a 1,000-square-foot space. Too bad the…

The kitchen is truly awful. Those cabinets are the prefab Home Depot specials. Cheap appliances. This kitchen costs all of $5,000.
Also hilariously, these cabinets are the kinds you’re supposed to drill for KNOBS. Hey seller, get a clue! Cabinets arrive without holes because there are all kinds of knobs out there and it gives people more options when they can drill the holes themselves. It does not mean the intent is to leave the cabinet doors and drawers completely plain without hardware. What kind of contractor worked on this place, to not know that? Or maybe it was just another sign of being super cheap, the fact they didn’t even want to pay for knobs and drawer pulls.
I see our little sockpuppet is back. There is no mention of “extra thick double pane windows” on the listing, so evidently 4:55 has someinside info.
Of course, even if these “extra thick double pane windows” do exist, they won’t help with then noise when the windows are open.
No noise b/c of extra thick double pane windows
you will also hear quite a bit of traffic on atlantic and flatbush avenues.
The 560 State Street listing is hysterical: “You will feel every inch of its 1120 s/f.”
Ooooh, baby!
3:54,
Is that you, terrelljonez, my little sockpuppet?
What do you all think about this place? Pretty sweet & reasonably priced. I’m thinking of making an offer at ASK.

I bought a 2 bedroom/1 bath 2 years ago on PPSW 1/2 block from Bartel Pritchard ON the park for a shade under 400. If this sells anywhere near that price, I will perhaps throw a party and invite all of you.
“don’t quite understand what’s going on with arches/entryways in above picture.”
If you look at the floorplan, you will see that these are the doorways between the hall, living room and dining room.
I saw this place during the reno some months ago. It was definitely done on the cheap. The bedrooms are on the small side. Being next to the park is nice though that stretch of PPSW is a bit dingy.
