Co-op of the Day: 86 Prospect Park West 3 BR
At first glance, the layout of this three-bedroom co-op at 86 Prospect Park West is a little unorthodox—railroad style with living and dining rooms at opposite ends—but actually we think it looks like it might work just fine.

At first glance, the layout of this three-bedroom co-op at 86 Prospect Park West is a little unorthodox—railroad style with living and dining rooms at opposite ends—but actually we think it looks like it might work just fine. The apartment’s biggest draw has to be the extensive original woodwork; it’s also got a recently renovated kitchen. The monthly maintenance is $846, a relative bargain for a 1,600-square-foot pad (though it certainly reflects the fact that there’s no doorman). We’ll see whether the $1,349,000 asking price flies. On the one hand, it’s Prospect Park West for well under $1,000 a foot; on the other, it’s a walk-up, non-full-service building. Guesses?

ks8000, I don’t consider a 1,300 sf place vs. a 1,600 sf place a comp. Not in NYC, where 300 sf can mean a $300,000 difference in price. Secondly, you said, you’ve seen many better apartments than this go for under $1mm. Show me these “many” available 1,600+ sf three bedrooms in Park Slope. I’ve been watching out for family size apartments and brownstones there and there are very few at this price point still.
i don’t think there is a staff at this building either.
ks8000, not bad, but that’s in a small building which is unlikely to have a staff. Not everyone likes that.
clarification – they are both in 321 I think, but still a good comp above lechacal…no?
ok lechacal, here you go, http://www.cbhkg.com/listing.asp?propid=73640
now its a bit smaller but has a way better layout, better location and its in PS 321. Tell me it isn’t a close comp?
ka8000, I have to call bullshit on your post. Please tell us which 3-bedroom apartments that are better than this have gone for under $1 million in the past year. I have been in the market for the same thing in the same period. This is an anonymous board, so go ahead and give us addresses.
great unit and details – quirky but homey. i checked out a unit on the other side facing the inner courtyard. $1.3 is pretty reasonable.
They should have priced under 1mil and hoped for a bidding war. Layout odd and seems dark, but 3BRs are in demand esp in 321. That said, 321 getting crowded and with market cooling, pricing on the lower side and getting more interest is a better strategy than coming out too high out of the gate.
Beautiful apartment, ho-hum kitchen, and seems like a whole lot a money.
