The Price: $580,000
The median asking price for a home in Park Slope was $2.2 million this March, according to the StreetEasy Data Dashboard. That means our Deal of the Week is priced at a little over a quarter of the median asking price for the neighborhood!
Buyers who put down the 10% minimum down payment of $58,000 can expect to see estimated monthly payments of $4,116. This includes a mortgage payment of $3,462 (6.97% interest rate) and a maintenance fee of $654.
Why You’ll Love It…
One of the most striking things about this Park Slope 1-bedroom is its windows — there are plenty of them, and they’re pretty huge. Because this unit is situated on the top floor of a historic brownstone, the windows look out onto the trees, creating a tranquil and serene setting. In addition to the oversized windows, the unit boasts two skylights — one in the living room and one in the bathroom — for even more light.
While many vintage details of the unit have been preserved, like the original hardwood floors and wooden trim around the windows, there are lots of newer features as well. For example, the bathroom’s vanity and fixtures were replaced just last year, and the kitchen has updated cabinetry, backsplash, and full-size stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher.

The bedroom, which also has an oversized window, can fit a queen-sized bed in addition to other furniture, such as a desk or dresser. You’ll find a spacious closet in the bedroom in addition to two closets in the home’s entryway. The unit also comes with a separate storage unit in the basement.
In addition to super low monthlies, this historic co-op features common laundry and a shared bike room. And the location is stellar, with its proximity to Prospect Park and nearby 7th Avenue and Union Street, which boast lots of cafes, restaurants, and shops. The 2, 3, F, G, B, Q, and R trains are also all nearby for easy commuting.
… And Why You Might Not
Unfortunately, this co-op doesn’t allow dogs, but it does allow cats. And while the top-floor location is great in terms of light and views, it’s not as great when you consider that this is a four-story walk-up building. So, laundry day might be painful, but the apartment has enough great features (and a great price) to make those stairs worth it.
