Condo of the Day: 228 16th Street, #3
This smallish two bedroom at 82 Willow Street in Brooklyn Heights has a nice feel to it. At 852 square feet, however, the top-floor unit ain’t huge. And without a floorplan or photos of the kitchen or bathroom, it’s hard to evaluate the asking price of $739,000. Our gut is that it’s probably too high…

And without a floorplan or photos of the kitchen or bathroom, it’s hard to evaluate the asking price of $739,000. Our gut is that it’s probably too high (though the low monthly maintenance of $500 should help). After all, $867 per square foot goes a lot further than it used to.
82 Willow Street, #3 [Brooklyn Heights RE] GMAP P*Shark
I’m sorry but I have to point out, aside from a rather lewd double entendre I’ll leave to the younger set to point out, the ad states the buyer will have roof rites. I can’t imagine what goes on up there? An outdoor mass, a Celtic ritual, a corn festival, a procession of Ganesh?
The monthly maintenance is low because there are no services and no elevator.
What the heck does this tell me:
“The kitchen divides the apartment and allows privacy for the cook.”
I can’t visualize how this works or why I want the kitchen to be a private area of the apartment.
Also, can realtors please please stop using the words “Rare” and “Unique”? It doesn’t improve my impression of the space at all and aggravates me.
I’ll agree to let them keep using “Prime” because sometimes it even makes sense, but I’d appreciate it if they could stop blatantly lying with it (e.g., “Prime Park Slope!” to refer to 15th Street between 4th and 5th Ave.).
“deck it and see the world!”
Well, how can you go wrong! Brooklyn Heights, Center of the World!
Ehats going on with the front door of that house? Ugh.
Why didn’t the agent tell them to:
Pull the A/C’s from the windows, chuck all that sh*t on the desk in a box, move the dining table out so it doesn’t cover a closet door, unplug the TV and move it (and the stand) out and into the second bedroom they mention (but do not show??) until the living room is photographed. They should also put the two stools(benches?) under the living room window at the foot of the bed. There’s way too much going on in the living room already without those needing to be in the mix as well.
They actually have some nice pieces in here but there’s too much to look at. For 3/4 of a million dollars you need to have this staged and re-shot.
Needs a photographer who can hold the camera steady and straight.
Needs more floorplan.
16th Street is the new Brooklyn Heights.
What gives Mr. B??
Check your heading and then try to get some sleep.
