Residential Sales [NY Times]
TT is a great place to live. I’m 17 now and i lived there from the ages of 5 to 15. There are great holiday parties thrown in the lobby and the area is beautiful. The apartments are gorgeous with large windows for lots of light. Great floors and bathrooms. The lobby is spectacular and the doormen are veryyy friendly. I recommend it to anyone interested in it.
From the inside, I think the 425k, 2BR unit in Turner Towers was the old management offices, on the ground floor. Needed alot of restoration to be living space. I might be wrong, but I doubt it.
TT is a very nice co-op, with over 190 apartments, 2-, 3-, and 4-BRs, some of them up to 3500 sq ft. Many married couples with kids; curators, actors, writers, other cultural players, older Brooklynites. A very nice balance. And an ideal location, imho.
The building is undergoing long-term plumbing improvements and exterior repairs, which will last a couple years. It’s a great place to invest, still undervalued, as capital investment continues.
Sigh. I was hoping that there would be other 2 bedroom listings at Turner Towers in that $425K price range. Perhaps that 25% flip tax a prior post mentioned keeps down resale value. Where is everyone getting all this money to buy such expensive real estate?
Yes, seems maybe a misprint. 3 bedrooms in TT go for 1MM or more. No way 425M for a 2 bedroom, even on a low floor.
Is it just me or does that Turner Tower listing seem inexpensive given the building and neigborhood. A two bedroom in veey nice prewar building for 425K in Prospect Heights seems way low these days. Think there was a 2 bed listed at 599 a few months back that went in a week or so. Anyone have and thoughts or the inside scoop??
Turner Towers is nice; good friend is listing a fabulous 3 bedroom BUT how about a 25% flip tax!!?? No lie.
To Anon 4:55pm, thank you. Turner Towers looks great from the outside. I’ve been curious about what it would be like to live there.
I know 2 families in Turner Tower. The wife of one is Tama Janowitz, the writer. Her husband works for the Warhol Foundation. As far as I know, both families have lived there for years (10?) and they are very happy there.
not fishing any longer – these figures are from real closings. They reeled in a whopper.
