A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Alessandro 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
The Alessandro was built around 1900 for Ellen Murphy to a design by Frank S. Lowe. Its limestone front has two rounded bays rising through three stories, an entrance portico with Ionic columns and a balustrade, and carved torches and wreaths. An elliptical upper window and a projecting cornice with modillions complete the façade. Leaded-glass transoms survive among the original decorative elements identified by LPC.
The eight-residence cooperative includes two- and three-bedroom apartments. The curved bays project living space toward Eighth Avenue, while rear rooms face the interior of the block. Some ground-floor homes extend to private gardens, and in-unit washers and dryers exist in the building. The entrance is one avenue west of Prospect Park, on the stretch of Eighth Avenue between Seventh and Eighth streets.

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 3-01088-0039). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. 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.

What to know if you’re buying
The rounded bays, leaded-glass transoms and unusual upper window are part of a designated façade. Replacing those windows can involve custom work and LPC approval, an exterior obligation shared through this small cooperative.

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.
