It seems like only two weeks ago that we were discussing the $2.4 million price tag on the four-bedroom pre-war co-op at 24 Monroe Place. Ohyeah, it was. In a sign that Brooklyn Heights is not impervious to the effects of a declining real estate market, the asking price has just been reduced almost 20 percent to $1,950,000. As we look at the floorplan, it occurs to us that buyers in this price range are probably aren’t too psyched about having a galley kitchen. The other negative: The fourth bedroom is a small “maid’s room” at the rear of the apartment, hardly a great spot to stash the newborn. Still, gorgeous apartment, blue-chip building, great location. We shall see.

  1. Actually my Wife is having an affair with someone at HER job – but she still does an excellent job on the laundry!
    and BTW most ‘cleaning people’ wont do laundry anyway.
    You’d clearly have to ‘rich’ to afford this apartment but you clearly have the wrong idea how far 500K a yr goes in this city.

  2. 7:31am – that’s great, but what’s the waiting list to get in those garages?

    8:45am – I believe these are the same two brokers who’ve had the listing all summer, when it was up at $2.4M

  3. not for nothing…these two agents are what you call bottom feeders. not for the quality of the place they are selling but how they get the listing. they zoom in when another agent loses a listing if it didn’t sell at the original price the owners wanted. they then drop the price to where it should have been to begin with. they are scavengers and usually behave unethically just to get the listing. buyer beware.

  4. You have the dough to buy this co-op and your wife does the laundry? Who you kidding?
    Get a clue: your cleaning lady does your laundry. Your wife is having an affair with the UPS man.
