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?

Condo of the Day: 44 Cheever Place [Brownstoner]
Nomi, the back of the F train, coming from Manhattan, stops at President and Smith. Front is at 2nd Place and Smith. This place is far from the subway, by neighborhood standards because it’s halfway between the Carroll and Bergen St. stop. In fact, it’s probably closer to walk to Kane and up to Warren, which I believe is one entrance on the Bergen St. F stop and not use the Carroll St. stop at all.
jfss – i think i’m subway autistic – i do know cg, but if you asked my friends you’d discover i am notorious for screwing these things up. not gonna argue about where the stop is. agreed, it’s far – less than i thought – but still far.
Not to belabor this more than, say, five more posts (after this one), but isn’t the back of the train Smith and Carroll?
(Since I have a hopefully temporary, but debilitating problem with my feet, I get my back up when people talk about assisted living, etc. when it comes to subway distance. One man’s close is another’s far.)
Is anyone familiar with CG ? The nearest Carroll St subway entrance is on President and Smith. If you walked 3 blocks from there you would be at Clinton St. Make a right and walk 2 blocks and you are at Sackett. Still quite a walk to Cheever Place. Bergen St stop might be closer.
Any way you look at it, Cheever is a haul and close to the BQE.
nomi – probably, unless you are astute and lucky enough (as bklyn 14 points out) to always get on at the back of train.
my cut off for way too far is just over the half mile mark – because then i figure your walking more than a mile a day just to get back and forth from the subway. and if it’s 15 degrees out, that is not my idea of fun. so this is right on the border for me, personally.
(although i like the look of the building and the views, i’ll also add to those who say it seems to be a very small 832 sqft.)
There’s a Union/Court St. entrance? Didn’t know that. But wouldn’t that mean underground walking then?
Huh? It’s 3 long blocks plus 5-1/2 short blocks from the subway. That qualifies as far to me.
Not getting why anyone would want to pay $560K when they could rent the same place for $2,400 — check the website.
Your monthly expenses are lower and you don’t have to stress out about buying and selling.
alright, i cede that point – it’s about a half mile (according to google) to the union/court st entrance which is not too bad. (forgot about that F entrance)
still, although i don’t have anything against walking, i don’t like the cold at all – thus, honestly, a half-mile is pushing it in the winter. i would (and did) trade a longer subway ride to shorten my required winter walks to the subway.
