Despite a blue-chip location and a charming exterior, this two-bedroom, garden-level co-op at 11 Monroe Place in Brooklyn Heights is leaving us a little limp. Maybe we’re nitpicking, but when renovating an apartment in this price range (asking price is $1,175,000), why not spring for some nicer doors? These look a little cheap to us and only underline the suburban “new traditional” vibe that seems like a waste in a place where a more characterful renovation would likely be appreciated and rewarded by buyers. Did we just get up on the wrong side of bed or do others have a similar reaction?
