1. PROSPECT HEIGHTS $3,300,000
1 Grand Army Plaza, #PH15N GMAP
This is the second of OPP’s penthouses to sell, which we told you about last Friday. (There are three more to come.) On the market for $3.5M, this four-bedroom unit comes in at more than 3,000 square feet. It had been on the market since September 2010. Entered into contract on 6/5/09; closed on 4/13/11; deed recorded on 4/26/2011.
2. PARK SLOPE $2,800,000
614 2nd Street GMAP
This five-story limestone was HOTD back in 2008. Back then we said the $3,900,000 price tag was a little high, especially since the renovations felt a bit overdone. Since then it was pulled from the market, relisted, pulled again, and then came back with Brown Harris Stevens at a price of $2,995,000. It spent a few more months on the market before it finally sold, pretty close to the new ask. Entered into contract on 1/13/11; closed on 4/15/2011; deed recorded on 4/28/11.
3. COBBLE HILL $2,695,000
371 Clinton Street GMAP
When we told you 371 Clinton Street, which was HOTD in March, sold for ask, the sale got a lot of talk! The home is only 15 feet wide but we thought it has a nice rustic feel to it. We were pretty impressed the narrow house didn’t have much trouble finding a buyer at ask. Entered into contract on 3/21/2011; closed on 4/20/2011; deed recorded on 4/26/11.
4. WILLIAMSBURG $2,340,447.63
34 North 7th Street, #PH2C GMAP
This penthouse sale at The Edge is a biggie. The three bedroom was listed at $2,550,000 and spent 115 days on the market. It’s boasting 2,000 square feet of space; this unit also came with extra storage space. Entered into contract on 7/2/2010; closed on 10/15/2010; deed recorded on 11/4/10.
5. CARROLL GARDENS $2,225,000
283 Carroll Street GMAP
283 Carroll Street is a three-family townhouse with “6 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a parlor room with 13ft ceilings, crystal chandelier, stunning marble fireplace mantel with pocket doors.” It was asking $2,275,000 and has been on the market since September 2010. Entered into contract on 1/25/2011; closed on 4/1/11; deed recorded on 4/26/11.
again, 371 Clinton is NOT 15 feet wide— It is 16.5′.
why do you repeat false information. If realtor overstated by 1.5′ you’d be jumping all over them
DiBS, I think I’ll sit this one out for now. No one has mentioned the super-rich yet.
That being said, one reason I moved to a brownstone is that my taxes and overhead on the whole building are a fraction of the maintenance on the Upper West Side one-bedroom I left behind.
11217 – are you comparing co-op maintenance with condo maintenance? co-op maintenance typically includes pro rata share of interest payments on building’s underlying mortgage (+/- 50% of monthly charge), there is no underlying mortgage on condo buildings.
Queue up the discussion of “rich vs. middle class.”
It’s common for new buildings to shuffle inventory on and off “the market”. In the case of the OPP unit it appears the contract was signed in early 2009 but the unit wasn’t exposed to streeteasy until sept 2010 at which time it was tagged as in contract. Seems like a very long lag to closing but buyer may have had a contingency on % sold milestone or similar.
I don’t get it myself, but people do it. Those similar sized penthouses on Pierrepont and Henry Street with similar square footage are more like $4000-5000 a month maintenance.
On the UES, not uncommon for $6-8K a month maint on a place this size.
“Why would anyone pay that. Why would you want to go to the gym with the same people you live with?”

Really? Why would anyone pay that. Why would you want to go to the gym with the same people you live with? If you want to have a shut down fortress of solitude then there is no point in living in NY. I bet half the apartment people don’t even use the gym or the pool.
LincolnSlope:
$3500 maintenance is not above normal for a 3000 square foot apartment. Do you have any idea the maintenance on a place this size on the Upper East Side or Sutton Place or even Brooklyn Heights?
About double, in many cases.
$1.50 psf is about standard for a full service building. Oftentimes it’s more.
