574 44th Street is a prewar co-op built in 1914 in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood. The four story walk up contains 16 units and holds historical significance as one of the first Finnish cooperatives in the area. Located on a landmarked block between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue, the building sits directly across from Sunset Park, offering many residents views of the park, New York Harbor, and the Manhattan skyline. The self managed cooperative features marble walls and stained glass windows in its common areas, reflecting its early 20th century craftsmanship.
Apartments throughout the building showcase original prewar details including oak and parquet floors with mahogany and walnut inlay, high ceilings over nine feet, French doors, crown moldings, picture rails, and in some units, embossed wainscoting and plate display ledges. Most units feature windowed kitchens and bathrooms, with layouts that typically include side by side living and dining rooms that can be configured as one to three bedrooms depending on the unit. Recent renovations in various apartments have included updated kitchens with stainless steel appliances and custom cabinetry, as well as bathrooms with subway tiles and modern fixtures, while maintaining the original architectural character.
The building offers notably low monthly maintenance fees, with listings showing charges ranging from approximately $317 to $464 per month, though there is currently an ongoing capital improvements assessment of $435.55. The cooperative is pet friendly and allows financing with a 20 percent down payment requirement. Each apartment includes a private storage room in the basement, and residents have access to bike storage, laundry facilities, and the option to build vegetable gardens in the backyard. A live in super maintains the property.
The location provides convenient access to Sunset Park's Olympic sized swimming pool, gym, soccer fields, and recreational facilities, all directly across the street. Transportation options include the R train two blocks away and express trains at 36th Street, with buses running along Fifth Avenue. The building is near Industry City, the Bush Terminal waterfront park, and the neighborhood's diverse restaurant scene and shopping districts along Fifth and Eighth Avenues.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
