This one-bedroom apartment at 44 Cheever Place has high ceilings and large windows, both of which get it high points in our book. We suspect the owner put a lot of care into the paint job but suspect that the listing might fare better with something more neutral. The832-square-foot floorplan is reasonably laid out and there are approved plans for a mezzanine over the kitchen (paging Scarano). And if you’re a driver, you can pick up a space in the building for $35,000. Monthly common charges are $570 and the asking price is $560,000. Waddya think?

Thank you, r1b2, for this Hicks-Cheever and parking lot clarification. Information like this is helpful.
Thanks to all for the route suggestions. Alas, as Nomi mentioned, hurt feet can temporarily curb the love of walking. We hope Nomi’s condition of hurt feet is temporary and Nomi is soon well!
Also, I lived on Cheever for years, 2 doors down from the parking lot to this building. It’s a 5 minute walk from the F train, Bergen Street station, front exit. It’s NYC, baby, we love the walk.

It’s always bothered me that folks refer to this as Cheever. It isn’t Cheever, it’s Hicks. The parking lot entrance is on Cheever, but the building faces Hicks Street. Suck it up: you live in the BQE.
You can cross the BQE and pick up the B61 bus on Columbia, which will take you to Jay Street/Borough Hall station for the F/A/C. Comes along often at peak times but can be crowded. Or walk to the F at Smith and Carroll or Smith and Bergen.
BklynSoFar, some of the buildings on Tiffany St. run shuttles to the subway (I think 29 Tiffany Place does). I don’t think you’ll find any connecting bus service at all — there are a few bus routes in the area, but it’s almost never worth a transfer because of their frequency, or route. It is a long walk home late at night — Cobble Hill is very safe, but I’d still take a cab if I could afford it as you will be walking down some very quiet blocks. During the day, it’s very pleasant.
I’m having a very hard time believing this is 832 sf. Like these old apt buildings though with the big proportions.
Mr. perhaps — I was online when you first posted about distance. I’d thought of the same thing. A friend insists this is an okay walk, and concurs there are several methods of getting to the subway. It is too far for me when I want to be walking late at night and don’t know the neighborhood yet.
We found there are some connecting buses. There may even be a shuttle in the morning (perhaps from the vicinity of Tiffany, going to Court St. for the morning and evening commutes to Manhattan). Once I found this shuttle bus reference, and now cannot locate the information. If anyone in the neighborhood knows this, they might post it here.
Misc. about the apartment — a smart person who posts on brownstoner has said that kitchens can be improved and parking spaces are valuable.
Subway autistic. Is it wrong to laugh at that?
