Co-op of the Day: 75 Henry Street, #19A

75-Henry-19A-1109.jpg
This one-bedroom co-op is one of the nicer ones we've seen at 75 Henry Street. The views from the 19th floor don't hurt, but the recent renovation itself looks quite nice. For a full-service building, the monthly maintenance of $794 is pretty reasonable for the 750-square-foot pad. There's also a balcony thrown into the mix. The price was just reduced from $595,000 to $565,000. There's an open house on Sunday from 12 to 1:30. You likey?

I really like. Isn't this complex, the epicenter of NORC (naturally occuring retirement communities) in Brooklyn Heights? Would I like my neighbors?

Love everything except those ugly ass floors.

brooklynishome, no, you wouldn't like Brooklyn Heights. Better stick with Billyburg if sharing a neighborhood with people of all ages offends you.

This unit seems very nice. This used to be a Mitchell-lama tower that was converted to market-rate I believe.

I hate this building. And the pics make this apartment look like the ones in Concord Village. Low ceilings. But not bad for the Brooklyn Heights low budget. Garage below to boot. Price aside of course.

Is the CH co-op from Recent Sales went for $650 sq/ft, this one should go for about the same to slightly more? I say $500,000-$525,000 gets it done. If they don't take that soon, they may regret it.

Question to whomever put $353.13k in the widget, is that the price you think it's worth or is that the price you think it will ultimately sell for? Or are you just effing around for shits and grins?

whoa, then how does the broker get in!? kidding, i have no clue what the broker looks like. the one real problem with big buildings like this is that they always seem to smell like urine

Sweet.

You're a douche

Somebody also apparently thinks it will go for $70k over ask even though there was just a $30k price drop. I think there is a fair amount of widget manipulation every time, though it seems the two sides balance each other out.

I live in a large building. My boyfriend lives in a large building. Several of my friends live in large buildings. Not one of those builidings has that problem.

Consider traveling in different circles.

Or give yourself a sniff test.

wait my last post made no sense... if there's no dogs allowed in this building, then it most likely doesnt smell like pee. contrary to what people think, the pee smell in big buildings like this usually isnt from humans, it's from animals who dont get walked enough, or hold it in enough to make it down all those floors. and if the dog smells another dog that peed in the elevator after it already did, it's instinct might be to as well. so anyway, ignore my last post!

Posted by: Butterfly at November 5, 2009 1:25 PM

"ignore my last post" kinda goes without saying, no?

Posted by: antidope at November 5, 2009 1:55 PM

as does "my last most made no sense"

Posted by: Brokedeveloper at November 5, 2009 2:03 PM

Is it true they don't allow dogs? that is a big minus.

Posted by: Minard Lafever at November 5, 2009 2:06 PM

Nice layout, livable rooms. Apts for the middle class sure were built nicer back in the day.

Posted by: denton at November 5, 2009 2:08 PM

I agree with Denton. When I first moved to Brooklyn Heights into a pre-war apartment, I sort of sniffed at this 60s behemoth's exterior. Now that I've been inside several units, I have a much more favorable impression. The outside will never win a beauty contest with a 19th century townhouse, but the insides (at least the renovated units) are pretty nice for the price point.

Posted by: NorthHeights at November 5, 2009 2:38 PM

whaddaya mean that don't allow dogs? Everyone living there is goodlooking?

Posted by: Petebklyn at November 5, 2009 2:45 PM

Price seems reasonable for the Heights.
Nice layout.

Urine odor in large buildings probably isn't from the dogs, but cats.

Posted by: Tara in the Slope at November 5, 2009 2:46 PM

I have a few friends who live here, and the apartments are quite nice. It's just another way of living in NY. Some people want a brownstone, some a prewar, etc.

Cats yes, dogs no. I think the parking is only $80 per month for tenants. Better than the $430 per month that I pay to park there.

> Is it true they don't allow dogs? that is a big minus.

If you don't own a dog, it can be a big plus.

When I was doing my last round of hunting, one of the main reasons I decided against a particular apartment was the whining, yippy dog next door.

Sure, I felt sorry for it being left home alone, but I didn't want to have to hear it all the time the owner was away.

Posted by: DitmasSnark at November 5, 2009 2:51 PM

i have a dog but think dogs in a building this tall is a bad idea. some people dont like dogs and are afraid / allergic to them. it wouldnt be fair that the person has to go down 20 flights next to a dog in a cramped elevator. ive always made it a point to live in a place where i didnt have to use an elevator with my dog. it was bad enough in my first apt living on a 4th floor walkup having to maneuvre him in a tight corridor, at the time i would muzzle him tho

I've been in this line of apts at 75 Henry. Absolutely killer views and -- unlike 1 BBP -- the subway is right there. My friend who owns here has a parking space in the basement and says bldg financials are solid. I don't like the exterior and the common spaces are kinda old school -- if you like the Metropolitan Opera, you'll love the lobby here. I guess you could always replace the floors. The rest looks pretty damn polished to me.

Posted by: grand army at November 5, 2009 3:34 PM

this is a good one. Sleek, clean, purdy. I likey it!

Posted by: LuvingModern at November 5, 2009 4:01 PM

Minard:

Play nice. If this is the building that I think it is, it was once upon a time Mitchell Lama built in late '60s, early '70s.....And the people that moved there have "aged in place." Therefore the residents skew older...That's a comment not an objection.

Posted by: BrooklynIsHome at November 5, 2009 6:23 PM

Hey! I play nice, you don't see me calling people douchebags or whatever. Oy! The slings and arrows I endure in stoic elegance on this site...
Now, I suppose if you hate dogs, as many people do, a no dogs policy is a plus. But if you are a normal, well-adjusted person who retains the natural human affinity to dogs, it is a minus.
