Brooklyn

This 1,600-square-foot ground-floor condo on Bergen between Smith and Court feels like quite a stretch to us at $1,325,000, but then again, you know how we feel about middle-of-the-road renovations that have neither a historic vibe nor a strong modernist touch. Not that this doesn’t feel like a perfectly pleasant place to live, but this isn’t even one of Cobble Hill’s most charming blocks either. The configuration is less than ideal, too, as you have to walk down a floor through the bedrooms to get to the patio. From someone who currently has to hike down two flights of stairs to get from the kitchen to the garden, believe us, this is not a non-trivial issue. Anyone care to defend this price?
