Having been purchased for a reported $4,911,000 in March 2008, as best we can tell the quick re-sale of 1940 Broadway #6 never closed when asking $5,191,000 later that year.
The floor above (1940 Broadway #7) had been on the MLS for almost four months in 2009 at $5,500,000 before being withdrawn two weeks ago. It’s now back on the MLS without a change in price but a change in DOM (now “six”).
And the floor above that (1940 Broadway #8) is back on the market as well and asking $3,995,000. It’s not nearly as remodeled as the others but sports a sweet original stove.
Asking $3,495,000 for #7 last September and with 364 days on the market at the time.

That stove and hood are amazing. I wouldn’t change a thing.
The kitchen is fine, except for the tile back splash. It goes with my theory that younger generations always want which they did not grow up with. If the supposed transition to urban environments actually occurs, thirty years later you’ll be hearing about the cute, quaint, historically beautiful 70s track developments.
seriously ugly kitchen, esp for $4m..wow..
Awesomely classic SF units! It is hard to believe that anyone who calls that kitchen ugly actually cooks on a regular basis.
You mean the Doelger might come back into vogue, D? (see the link if you don’t know what I mean) Maybe Malvina Reynolds had it wrong…
In any case, not keen on the tile back splash or the tile floor. The kitchen generally sucks except for that stove, but I’d probably prefer a modern stove just for practical reasons.
Besides, shouldn’t someone be criticizing the work triangle? No place to rest your stuff right next to the stove!
oh great. another realtor trying to talk about architecture..
Awesome building – I think number 8 is the best, it’s the cheapest, on the highest floor, and hasn’t been remodeled to death.
I would think that for $4mm or $5.5mm you would be allowed to bring your pet…
Says the architect posting on a real estate blog.
lol
that’s right folks, do not try to talk about architecture w/out consulting a “licensed architect”!
lol at the self importance…
the majority of the city was built w/out the “services” of architects and perhaps that’s the reason for its enduring architectural charm.
“I would think that for $4mm or $5.5mm you would be allowed to bring your pet…”
Agreed, but you know how these old ladies in co-ops are. Do you think they nixed the “quick sale” referred to by the Editor of #6?
Also, not that people necessarily care at this price range, but the HOA is confusing:
#7: on MLS $4882/mo, on Redfin $974.57/mo
#8: on MLS and Redfind $1600/mo
Note that $4882 is almost exactly 5 months@$974.57, which is strange in itself. But why such a disparity between the two units?
The top unit is the clear winner. You get to use the benefit of the discounted price to renovate as you see fit. Further, I am sure there is a market for that stove. If it does not fit your personal taste or uses, then I am sure you can use it to fund the modern range of your choice. . .
Something’s going on with one of the units in this building. I live across the street and there’s been a lot of movement in and out with construction workers, trucks parked up and down the block and the like.
Thankfully, this blog is NOT just about the pure aspects of a real estate transaction. It has evolved nicely into discussions about architecture, design, aesthetics, functional spaces, etc. that relate directly to the VALUE of real estate.
That’s why I like SS and like commenting here.
Pets ARE allowed, by law. There is a dog hater on the board who has tried to ban them before, and got called on it.
UPDATE: A Little Bit Lower Now At The Heights For 1940 Broadway #7
