Co-op of the Day: 35 Prospect Park West
Considering that another apartment at 35 Prospect Park West in Park Slope was on sale last year for $6,500,000 (did it sell?), the fact that this duplex on the 14th and 15th floors is now asking $4,450,000 shouldn’t raise any eyebrows, right? (There’s also a lower-floor unit on the market right now for $3,500,000.) The…
Considering that another apartment at 35 Prospect Park West in Park Slope was on sale last year for $6,500,000 (did it sell?), the fact that this duplex on the 14th and 15th floors is now asking $4,450,000 shouldn’t raise any eyebrows, right? (There’s also a lower-floor unit on the market right now for $3,500,000.) The 11-room apartment was originally built as a duplex, so there shouldn’t be any awkward post-combination issues to swallow. In addition to the five bedrooms, there are also two staircases. We’re not sure the wood-paneling is totally working for us but, whatevs, sweet pad. Think the price will fly?

Are Rennert’s daughters hot?
I had an elderly friend who said Turner Towers on Eastern Parkway, where he lived, was built in reaction to this building because Jewish people weren’t allowed to move in during the ’30’s.
I know this kind of “gentleman’s” agreement is still enforced in some Manhattan co-ops.
Does anyone know if it is here?
Although there are open housing laws, co-ops get around these because board deliberations are private.
What’s the word on this building?
(And if this sounds archaic, it’s interesting to note that 740 Park Avenue, New York’s most expensive apartment house, is now known around the Upper East Side as a “Jewish” building because Rennert, the billionaire, just bought two apartments for his daughters there, putting Jewish residents over the 50% mark.)
If this building was built as a co-op in the 1920’s, I’m sure it has an interesting social history to tell (especially if it began to open up like 740).
some people are definitely doorman kinda people, 1:32.
they just like that convenience and don’t want the responsibilty of a house.
i agree with you though…i’d rather have a house.
my favorite blocks are montgomery and berkeley.
Spectacular. Worth every penny.
If I were in this price range, which sadly I am not, I would probably opt to by one of those $3.5m townhouses on Montgomery Place, and save myself a $1m as well as the maintenance. Still, the views must be incredible.
Actually, Johnife, I don’t think that’s a huge maintenance for that much space in a full-service bldg. Especially since property taxes are included. I agree, for most of us it is mind-boggling, but I suspect that it isn’t for people who make millions/year — less than $50,000 is such a small % of those kind of incomes.
considering that the apartment seems to be well over 4000sf, i don’t believe the maintenance is out of line at all. this is standard for a top of the line doorman with all the bells and whistles building.
like that stribling has the listing, since she just bought in brooklyn.
shows she really cares about her new home.
I don’t supposed it matters to potential buyers but just the maintenance, at $4,200 a month, boggles my mind.
The penthouse is in contract, don’t know the selling price, but pretty close to asking
