Co-op of the Day: 242 Baltic Street, #15

This new co-op listing at 242 Baltic Street in Cobble Hill looks quite charming in the photos — and we’re sure the original wide floorboards and plaster moldings look just as good in person. The catch with this place in reality however is that it’s got a railroad layout; not only that, but the kitchen is at the opposite end of the apartment from the dining room, meaning you have to carry your food through the bedroom and the study to get to the dining room. Then again, you could try to move the rooms around but the lack of windows in the middle of the apartment make that challenging. Still, it’s a lovely apartment in a great area so in this market buyers might be forgiving. Asking price: $615,000.
