Co-op of the Day: 73 Remsen Street, #3

We suspect that this new listing at 73 Remsen Street could have benefited from a little bit of staging. The apartment itself–an upper duplex a brownstone in Brooklyn Heights–has much to recommend it (big kitchen, great roof deck, low maintenance, superb location) but the combination of some dowdy interior decorating and a few uninspiring finishes are preventing us from getting too excited. The biggest problem for us boils down to this: this place doesn’t feel either old-school prewar or elegantly modern; it’s lost somewhere in between. For our $2,699,000, we’d want one or the other.
