A 1970s time capsule seeks $405K in Coney Island

On Brooklyn’s southern shores, this two-bedroom co-op is stuck on the flipside — and it looks really groovy. 

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

Listing photos show the space, which is seeking $405,000, with wall-to-wall carpeting, wood paneling galore and lots of dated personal knickknacks.

“It’s a very clean, well-kept apartment, but as you can see from the decor, you have a lot of ’70s going on. Basically it’s a time capsule,” said Douglas Elliman agent Jerry Minsky, who holds the listing. “It’s all very ‘Brady Bunch.’”

Minsky grew up nearby alongside the son of the owner, 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 maintained many of its original renters and owners until recently, when death has made the now-senior individuals part with their longtime homes. Minsky has found a niche in selling residences at the modest mid-century development, and has found many abodes are similarly frozen in amber.

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

This particular unit opens into an open-format living room and dining room, with a wall of windows and access to the balcony on the far end. The kitchen is partially partitioned to the left of the entrance and has custom wooden cabinetry accented with a lovely retro gold trim. 

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

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