the park slope place received an offer over asking.
done.
1:31, it’s absolutely true that there is a potential market for an apt like the PS one among people who don’t have families (or only have 1 small kid). The people who own it now have no kids, and that’s one of the reasons it looks so great. With 2 kids myself, this place is just not going to fly. Not for us anyway. But it is nice and I’m sure someone will take it, though I wouldn’t be so sanguine about it getting the asking price. I really don’t know why people can’t accept the market has slowed.
Actually, there is a market in PS for the three bedroom apartments with 2 smaller bedrooms. People know that the brownstone/limestone layout doesn’t yield 3 (or usually even 2) medium-to-large bedrooms – if you want that, you go for the larger apartment buildings (but then you usually pay significantly more in maintenance to cover the staff, the elevators, etc.)
The smaller approx. 7′ wide bedrooms, if they are 10-12 feet long, really do make good children’s bedrooms, office/studies, guest rooms, or extra space for whatever you want – art room, workshop, etc. The ceilings are high in these buildings, and the windows large, so the rooms don’t seem too small if furnished right. (The really small squarish 2nd bedrooms I’ve seen in other types of apartments – like barely 6′ X 8′- are the real turnoff – you feel like you are in a closet when in them.)
Contrary to popular expectations, not everybody who wants a bit of extra space wants it for a family – some have two home offices, other interests that take space, or frequent guests. Those with little kids figure they will eventually move to larger homes when they have more or bigger kids.
The PS apartment will sell, probably close to ask, or over. And no, I’m not a broker, but I sold a similar apartment this year, so I know the market is there for this this layout, and that it is a large market. And there are many fewer apartments around this size than there are of the standard 2-bdrm, no dining room, brownstone floor-thru layout, and when you see one of these after seeing many of those, these apartments seem really large. And having a real dining room is really nice.
what does catharsis mean? thx
oops confused schools. 34 is an A+ school, but 31 is the magnet school (also in greenpoint). both schools are really really good.
11:18 AM – LOOKING FOR A 2 BEDRM
the williamsburg (really in greenpoint) apt is under a million and is is zoned for PS 34, which is a A+ magnet school – one of the best in city. This place is right on McCarren park, near the kid’s playground, and looks like it might have some nice views. i have some friends that bought a couple blocks from there because of the school and are really happy living on the park. they are there probably daily. they have a toddler and one on the way.
the parents’ community is extremely strong in the area and growing.
before you all start.. i am not a broker. i live about 6-7 blocks away and have a kid, so that post caught my eye.
Nope, definitely smells like broker poop.

nope, that’s your breath.
