A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 23 Bethune Street would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
About the building
23 Bethune Street shares a cooperative and tax lot with 21 Bethune Street. The brick houses began as Greek Revival residences and were later enlarged and divided into apartments. Their original stoops were removed, with windows taking the place of the raised entrances. Different bracketed cornices finish the two façades. Transmark Equities L.P. sponsored the cooperative conversion, whose non-eviction filing was accepted in July 1979.
The homes range from smaller upper-floor apartments to combined layouts and garden residences. Some occupy more than one level; private outdoor space belongs to particular homes. At the rear, landscaped gardens extend the living space beyond the original rowhouse footprint. Upper apartments are reached by stairs, and the converted-house arrangement produces different room proportions and exposures across a small inventory.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00635-0022) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price.
What to know if you’re buying
The purchase is in a cooperative covering both houses. An exterior repair at either address can therefore affect the shared budget; a garden's exclusive-use rights do not by themselves establish who pays for surrounding walls or drainage. The walk-up also makes the floor level a practical part of choosing a home here.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
