Condo of the Day: 555 Washington Avenue, #1A
The apartments at 555 Washington Avenue are tough to make up one’s mind about: On the one hand, the former seminary is beautiful to look at from the outside and some of the rooms reflect its stateliness; on the other hand, some of the rooms are so oddly-configured it’s hard to imagine putting up with…
The apartments at 555 Washington Avenue are tough to make up one’s mind about: On the one hand, the former seminary is beautiful to look at from the outside and some of the rooms reflect its stateliness; on the other hand, some of the rooms are so oddly-configured it’s hard to imagine putting up with them. Such is the case with this ground-floor duplex. The big arched windows and high ceilings of the living room and the private terrace say “buy me!” but the kitchen feels like it belongs on a sailboat. Some of that oddness is built into the price of $795,000, which is pretty decent on paper for the 1,595 square feet of indoor space plus private patio. Monthly common charges of $1,092 are also pretty reasonable. What do you think?

Kitchen is fine, bigger than mine. Drawbacks are the location and the bedroom layouts.
What’s the problem with the kitchen? I think it’s beautiful! Wish I could afford this place, overall, stunning.
This is a really cool looking building and 1600 sq ft is a ton of space. Only drawback is location. Not sure id want to live right on atlantic avenue.

I don’t understand the complaints about the kitchen–it’s at least twice as big as mine, and doesn’t strike me as that much smaller than others we’ve seen lately. Remember the $4m BH place with crazy views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges? I’m pretty sure this place has a bigger kitchen. Not wild about the decor, but sounds like y’all think it’s too small.
love it.
You can always bring the kitchen further out into the living room if you want more cooking space.
On the other hand, why do you have to go through the master bedroom to get to the second bedroom?
Kudu in the living/dining room, moose antlers in the baby’s room…
nice place but that kitchen is a bummer.
Is this the place with the excellent gargoyles?
