Bay Ridge Prewar One-Bedroom Co-op With Custom Closets Asks $325K

Here’s a prewar in Bay Ridge that is nicely sized but modest in its trimmings with a price to match. It’s a one-bedroom on the first floor of a six-story building at 7101 Colonial Road.

Completed in 1929 and originally known as Sterling Towers, the building has touches of Romanesque Revival-inspired design with arched windows and brick detailing and twisted columns with Corinthian capitals mixed in with some of the more standard variety. The arched entry leads to a central courtyard with green space and a walkway towards the baronial-styled lobby. Ads from the year it was completed show rents would have ranged from $48 to $115 dollars a month for units with electric refrigeration and incinerators.

This unit has wood floors and simple moldings throughout and is set up with the kitchen near the entry and bedroom at the rear.

There’s a long foyer at the entry that looks like it might be just wide enough for a small home office setup or at least a wall of storage. The adjoining windowed galley kitchen has white cabinets, a tin backsplash and white tile floor.

The foyer leads to the living room, which has parquet and two windows that look out onto the building’s central courtyard. You can get a better sense of the view via the virtual tour.

There’s a hallway beyond with a wall of custom closets and a bedroom at one end and bath at the other. The bathroom has been renovated with a glass-walled shower, white fixtures and neutral tile walls and floor.

Building amenities include a live-in super, laundry and bike rooms. There’s a wait list for storage. Maintenance for this unit is $709 a month.

The apartment last sold in 2004 for $315,000. It’s now on the market for $325,000, an increase of just $10,000, listed by Robert Coppolino and Patricia Downs of RE/MAX Elite. What do you think?
