Co-op of the Day: 416 Ocean Avenue, #12
This three-bedroom apartment at 416 Ocean Avenue in Prospect Lefferts Gardens came to market two months ago asking $395,000 and recently was reduced to $367,500. At 1,234 square feet, it’s a large prewar pad and the exterior of the building is lovely. The interior photos, usually well done in Corcoran listings, don’t help the apartment…

At 1,234 square feet, it’s a large prewar pad and the exterior of the building is lovely. The interior photos, usually well done in Corcoran listings, don’t help the apartment put its best foot forward though, so before cutting the price again, we’d suggest investing a couple hundred bucks in some decent photography!

That carpet makes me sad. But nice to know a decent three-bedroom place can be had for under 400k.
Interesting that after 22 appraisals, the widget guess is far closer to the asking price than any I have seen. Could voters be shifting their price point upward after several consecutive widget underappraisals?
It’s better, she says, to be on a higher floor in that building if your apartment’s windows face the shaft. Otherwise your light is very gloomy.
The building is definitely something to keep an eye on. It’s a great location…short walk to the park, and if you go out the back door of the building, you’re on Caton Road, just a few steps from the Church Avenue subway. Last night we walked down from 416 Ocean to Cortelyou Road and had dinner at Mimi’s Hummus (and got photographed while eating by a new york mag photographer…probably doing some article on the hipness factor of Cortelyou Road restaurants…)
For $297 psf you wanted light???!
And what, may I ask is wrong with facing the shaft?
Ah, just got email from my friend. She’s already been to see the apartment. Says it is is on the first floor and “feels dark–all the interior windows face the courtyard shaft.”
They’re going to keep looking.
Exactly!
That is one gorgeous building! And so close to the park!!
And that difference can be called the “snark factor”
For the widget, instead of guessing the price, maybe there can be a new option where we guess how much under the posters on Brownstoner will value it from its actual selling price.
