Co-op of the Day: Northside Old School
How refreshing to see an apartment for sale in Williamsburg that wasn’t built in the last three years! This place won’t appeal to the same market that the new developments in the hood will, but perhaps that’s an advantage. While the building’s facade won’t win any charm contests, we think the 800-square-foot apartment itself has…
How refreshing to see an apartment for sale in Williamsburg that wasn’t built in the last three years! This place won’t appeal to the same market that the new developments in the hood will, but perhaps that’s an advantage. While the building’s facade won’t win any charm contests, we think the 800-square-foot apartment itself has quite a bit of character in a flea-market-chic kinda way. The old floors, high ceilings and moldings around the windows are working for us. As a kicker, the apartment has private roof rights and comes with plans for a 300-square-foot addition. Pretty cool. What do you think about the $489,000 asking price? (The building at left in the new photo is one reader’s best guess of building’s true identity: 158 Grand Street.)

Suzy, you win.
It’s when people start talking about railroad apartments as spacious compared to new construction that you have to start wondering what the hell anyone is paying for in this market.
Nicolo,
What do you mean by inadequate flooring? Is this because the pine is not pickled?
It seems with the $85K savings you could pickle, ferment, infuse, or even refinish the floors.
Um yeah a one bedroom in Williamsburg is hard to find for $850. That size at that price is very atypical.
I actually liked this place before I read the previous posts. Yikes! Good calls…
