Done Deals

UPPER EAST SIDE

130 E. 67th St.
Three-bedroom co-op
Asking price: $2.35 million
Selling price: $2.17 million
Time on market: about a year

THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM A sprawling three-bedroom, 2,400-square-foot, pre-war apartment at 130 E. 67th St. closed last week for $2.17 million. It was originally listed about a year ago but remained on the market until now despite strong interest. Two prospective buyers were turned down by the coop board before the third group - a married couple with two young children - were finally approved.

"This building turns people down left and right," Jill Sloane of Halstead, who represented the seller, said. She says that since she started working on this deal, the board had issued five rejections.

"I was excited when I got the exclusive," she said. "But all of this was not very exciting at all."

The first offer received and rejected by the difficult board had been for $2.4 million, or $225,000 more than the final sale price. Jason Walker of Prudential Douglas Elliman represented the successful buyers.

FLATIRON DISTRICT

21 E. 22nd St.
One-bedroom co-op
Asking price: $1.47 million
Selling price: $1.42 million
Time on market: three weeks

ONE AMAZING CLOSET A one-bedroom, one-bath co-op at 21 E. 22nd St. has sold for $1.42 million - a record price per square foot for the building. The seller was a lady in her late 30s who was trading up to a larger space in Chelsea.The buyer was a young female professional.

There was a lot of interest in the 1,000-square-foot apartment, according to Barbara Licalzi, senior vice president at Halstead. "Twenty-second Street between Broadway and Park is considered the best tree-lined Flatiron block," Ms. Licalzi, who specializes in Flatiron property and lives nearby, said. But the real attraction? "It had an absolutely amazing closet," she said. "Every woman who looked at it was impressed. It was a room in itself."
