A Turner Towers apartment seeks more than $1000 a sq ft, $1.95M

For those not aware, Turner Towers is located at 135 Eastern Parkway.   It is the big building across from the botanical garden.

I have seen condos and brownstones in the area go for over $1000 a sq ft, but (if they get their ask) I think this will be one of the first coops in the area that breaks that barrier.    

The apartment does look lovely...

    Joan Rivers lived there a few years when she was growing up. I wonder though, in the photos for the bedrooms I don't see any closets. So I'm thinking that you use the armoires that are there and hope you don't have a lot of clothing. Or shoes for that matter.

    There are some closets around:

    While I hope this seller gets their asking price, what is odd to me is that this listing is not on a high floor.

    On the 3rd fl, one is not above the tree line of the median, much less the park across the street (Mount Prospect Park).

    If 3A successfully brings $1.95M, I can only imagine what a similarly well kept 14A would fetch.

    Well, I was one third right....bedroom two has no closet just the built ins. Thanks for the floor plan.

    As a result of those 4 closets in the living room being all in a row, it would make a pretty good place to play "Lets Make a Deal"

    I have no idea what the building financials are like, some coops have big mortgages and no reserve funds, and others have no mortgages and big reserve funds. All this plays into what shares in the coop trade for. I would imagine that if TT has no mortgage, a halfway decent reserve fund and no assessments on the horizon, the apartments would be priced similarly to a condo.

    Yes, a coop can be competitive with a condo if it has such qualities.

    Partly as a result of being in a doorman building, the monthly maintenance is $1874.

    Almost exactly $1 a sq ft, per month.

    They seem to have avoided the weekend open house routine, and instead had one this afternoon, and will be having another on Thursday:

    Open House Details
    Monday, October 13th, 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM
    Thursday, October 16th, 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM

    "If you can afford this apartment, you probably don't have to work for a living," seems to be the implicit message.

    It could be they just want to show the apartment to people who are seriously looking.

    ....as opposed to people like me who occasionally stop by open houses on nice weekends, under the hope they have a good view and/or chocolate chip cookies.

    My building has been having weeknight open houses lately too, and I think it's for that exact reason.

    It also cuts down on the chaos caused by the flood of bodies on weekend open houses. My building routinely has 50+ people crammed into our lobby on the days of weekend open houses, looking annoyed at the residents who are just trying to walk in/out.

    This apartment is now reportedly in contract, for "at or near" its asking price.
