Co-op of the Day: 35 Pierrepont Street, #3B
We suspect this two-bedroom listing at 35 Pierrepont Street will go into contract faster than most in this market: It’s got lots of prewar charm, is well-laid out and is priced reasonably at $785,000. The only drag is the maintenance of $1,303; on the flip side, you’re getting one of the nicer full-service buildings in…

Poor old Giamatti. He already looks downtrodden, and now he has to pay that maintenance.
It’s the second bathroom that’s golden. So this is where Giamatti lives? I see him all the time walking around the neighborhood looking like the very opposite of a screen star.
we looked at apartment 4B last year when it was like $875K (and FSBO) and thought it was a nice apartment (the skim coated walls were especially nice), but the one we wound up buying was listed for $50K less and had a much bigger living / dining area with room to build a 3rd bedroom if we ever needed it. Apparently Paul Giamatti lives on the 4th floor b/c the owners told us that he was their next door neighbors. We kept calling the $50K the “Giamatti premium.”
In this market – I think they both could go for $750.
“(we actually use a dining table)”
Yes, as someone who actually eats off of an actual dining room table, I can’t help but be thoroughly unimpressed with the “dining/living” rooms of the city.
This place needs another room imo.
apartments in the Heights that have spacious living room dining room areas and that are much larger than this sell for over one and a half million dollars. This is an apartment priced under $800,000. The question is not whether the living room is small but rather if the apartment as a whole is priced well. I think it is.
> this building has an elevator man
That’s not an amenity, that’s an annoyance.
I have no idea. In fact I don’t know how people manage without a sitting room, a drawing room and a dining room.
Nice building. Nice potential for the apartment – but agree, the LR/DR is a bit too small. We lived with an 18X12 LR/DR and it was small space for both living and dining (we actually use a dining table). When we moved to an apt with an approximately 23X13 LR/DR, we couldnt believe how we manages with the earlier space. Seriously, you see all these 2-BR layouts in newer construction with LR/DR areas that are even less than 18 feet long – how (and why) do people deal with that?
Rob, maybe you should apply for a job in this building ;o).
