1970s co-op frozen in decorative amber seeks $405K at Coney Island: ‘It’s all very ‘Brady Bunch’

On the southern shores of Brooklyn, this two-bedroom co-op is tucked away on the other side—and it looks really snappy.

In Coney Island’s Trump Village complex, this Neptune Avenue condo just hit the market, but it looks fresh out of the 1970s.

Listing photos show the space, which is asking $405,000, with wall-to-wall carpeting, abundant wood paneling and plenty of dated personal items.

“It’s a very clean, well-maintained apartment, but as you can see from the decor, it’s very much from the 70s. It’s basically a time capsule,” said Douglas Elliman agent Jerry Minsky, who maintains the listing. “It’s all very ‘Brady Bunch’.”

Minsky grew up nearby along with the owner’s son, who is 96 and recently entered a special care facility. Her children are selling the unit.

Built in the mid-1960s by Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump, the seven-building Trump Village complex has retained many of its original tenants and owners until recently, when death forced the now-elderly individuals from their homes. for a long time. Minsky has found a niche in selling condos in modest mid-century development, and has found that many residences are frozen in amber.

“A lot of the ones I’ve sold, they all look the same,” Minsky reflected of his Trump Village listings, adding, “This might be my 20th sale in three years.”

This particular unit opens into an open plan living and dining room with a wall of windows and access to the balcony at the far end. The kitchen is partially separated to the left of the entrance and has custom wood cabinetry accented with a beautiful retro gold trim.

The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and the bathroom is positioned between it and the secondary bedroom, which is almost as large.

Monthly maintenance costs $1,041, and the co-op has shared amenities, including 24-hour security, a gym, a daycare center, a residential super, and parking (though there’s a waiting list for that).
