Co-op of the Day: A Spacious and Airy One-Bedroom in Sunset Park
This one-bedroom co-op at 570 44th Street in Sunset Park has an open and airy feel, with a dining room as well as a living room and lots of windows. The combined living and dining space is a massive 23 feet long.
There are also original details such as hardwood floors, high ceilings, moldings, built-ins and French doors. Interestingly, the apartment also has an old wall safe that apparently has never been opened — at least not by the current residents.
The kitchen, with laminate counter tops and older cabinets, could use some work, however.
The listing suggests the apartment can be easily converted into a two bedroom by walling off the open dining area.
The 1914 building is one of the original Finnish co-ops that dot the neighborhood. Although the building has only 16 units, it has a live-in super.
There is also bike parking, storage, laundry and — a DIY first in building amenities — a woodworking shop.
It’s is across the street from Sunset Park and about three blocks from 45th Street R stop.
The price? $499,000. Monthly fees are very reasonable at $517. What do you think of it?
