A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 274 St. John's Place 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.
274 St. John's Place is a small prewar cooperative close to Grand Army Plaza, with apartments that fit separate bedrooms into relatively compact footprints. Its 1912 building offers walk-up ownership near Prospect Park and the cultural institutions around Eastern Parkway. The inventory includes one- and two-bedroom arrangements with high ceilings and windows facing different parts of the block.
The cooperative is professionally managed and has a part-time superintendent. The 2 and 3 trains at Grand Army Plaza are nearby, with the B and Q farther west at Seventh Avenue. Its residential tax lot is outside the LPC-designated historic district.
Architecture and unit composition
Split-bedroom plans place sleeping rooms on opposite sides of the living space. Some homes have three exposures, bringing light from the street and the interior of the block. Large windows, original moldings and hardwood floors are recurring features, while kitchens have been opened or reconfigured in individual renovations.
The larger two-bedroom plans can have a separate dining area beside an open kitchen. Other apartments use a more compact kitchen and living-room arrangement. The interior areas attached to past transactions generally range from about 650 to 800 square feet, so room placement matters alongside the nominal bedroom count.
In-unit washers and dryers are installed in some residences, including vented equipment. Installation is not uniform throughout the building. Storage outside the apartment provides another way to accommodate belongings without using part of the living area.
Building operations
Private keyed storage is available for an additional charge, along with bicycle storage. The intercom controls entry, and common maintenance is handled through professional management and the part-time superintendent. The walk-up configuration leaves upper-floor access dependent on the common stairs.
The Class 2 residential assessment has no annual growth cap, and there is no current building-level abatement. The building occupies substantially less floor area than the current R8X residential allowance. The zoning figure alone doesn't give an individual shareholder the right to expand an apartment or create roof space.
Policy framework
Pets: Permitted subject to approval — confirm with the managing agent.
Financing: Up to 80 percent, requiring at least 20 percent down — confirm with the managing agent.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01172-0019) 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; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

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.
