Co-op of the Day: 806 Carroll Street
Here’s a place we can probably all agree to drool over. The parlor-level floor-through co-op at 806 Carroll Street in Park Slope has twelve windows on three sides and some of the sweetest wood moldings and built-ins we’ve seen in a long time. (The location ain’t too shabby either.) The maintenance is only $850, quite…
Here’s a place we can probably all agree to drool over. The parlor-level floor-through co-op at 806 Carroll Street in Park Slope has twelve windows on three sides and some of the sweetest wood moldings and built-ins we’ve seen in a long time. (The location ain’t too shabby either.) The maintenance is only $850, quite low for what we estimate is about a 1,200-square-foot apartment. The asking price isn’t quite as low however: $1,195,000. Think they’ll get their price?

Oh yeah, brownstoner doesn’t know about coop maintenances. It is far lower in your usual 4-unit coop than in elevator buildings, underlying mortgage or not, because there are no staff, management company, elevators, or large lobbies to renovate.
This is on the sort of high side for such buildings, though not terribly high. But the building is very nicely maintained – unlike many similar ones with much lower maintenances (like $400 – $650)- the reason the stairways and carpeting and sidewalks and yards look like crap in many buildings because they don’t want to raise the maintenance to pay for it. To each their own – that’s for the owners to decide.
This building was very nicely re-brownstoned on the front when I lived on the block in the 90’s – they keep the place in nice shape. That’s likely why the maintenance is as high as it is. You get what you pay for usually, where maintenance is concerned.
There once was a chap named 8:39
Who got bitch slapped once
But still had to whine.
As his path was well paved
By what Daddy done saved
That he’s just a big prick oozed from every line.
you gotta be a dope to criticize other people for living their life and spending their own money how they see fit.
oh wait…that isn’t a dope. that’s just IGNORANT!!!
You gotta be a dope to pay over a million bucks for a one bedroom walk up apartment in Brooklyn.
^^^ IRONY? ^^^
There once was a blog about houses
That attracted all manner of louses
They love to condemn
Everyone who ain’t them
But we sane ones are sick of their grouses
Always glad to help!
8:32, you are killing me. So funny. Thanks for correcting me. It is important to be Ernest, write?
And FYI, 8:11. “Ernest” is a name. “Earnest” is an adjective.
