mcKenzie – We can’t all be fans of big brick shoeboxes. 🙂
Oh yes, one thing I forgot re the maintenance at 153 Lincoln(I saw the apmts in Feb). I was assuming that the current levels include an abatement and so the ‘real’ level is higher (may not be an issue now, but would be in selling the place in a few years).
Was not serious enough to go through the full prospectus at that point, so happy to be corrected if that assumption is wrong.
I think the Lincoln Place brothel, while an excellent product, suffers a bit from the very nature of what makes them cool. The layouts seem to have a tremendous amount of lost space because of the angles and features of the overall structure. Lots of “storage areas” and cutouts in the rooms make the places not feel quite their full square footage. Possibly that is also why the maintenance charges “feel” high.
UM WHAT?
to the Gowanus House
1.45mil
wow…wow….wow
am in shock
a 3 story house in Gowanus sells for 1.45
what was is listed at??
the Bay Ridge house is tacky looking.
Looks like someone went overboard with the white foamboard Georgian colonial ornament.
> “Have you walked by there Snark?”
Oh yeah, many times. I love the look of that place. Wish I had the scratch.
@smudge
I agree, Carroll St in Gowanus seems high. But the corco listing says “has additional FAR to build more.” I reckon that’s a factor in the high price.
The unit which sold was 1600 sf with common charges of $1349 a month. I always thought that anything under $1 psf was considered pretty good for a building with no doorman, but I see your point. That’s a large chunk of change every month in addition to the mortgage.
I just thought that the common charges were high enough that I would expect a full time super for that. I am pretty impractical and so I could probably use one more than most people!
