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?

No way. Mark my words, this will not sell for a penny about $950,000. I have been looking at 3 beds in PS for almost a year and have seen may better apartments than this go for under $1mm.
This should be a pretty good gauge of the market. I think (hope) it’ll fetch $1.2M.
I actually thought it was a pretty creative way to add a second bathroom to the space.
Concur. $1.1 million is fair value. Less and the buyer is getting a bad deal. More and the seller is getting shafted.
$1.1 million
I agree with cmu. I don’t even much mind that the LR and DR are on opposite ends but the location of the second bathroom is awful. Your kids or a guest will have to go through the kitchen to take a shower? That’s bizarre. Apart from the layout, it’s beautiful.
Ah-hah. So this is where they shot the last Crate & Barrel catalog!
little unorthodox??
Bizarre, unusable and idiotic are the words I’d use for a 1.4mil apt. Tiny kitchen…”office” next to the toilet, a mile schlep to the living room…
Nice looking place but the price seems awfully high to me for the building.
