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]
perhaps do u live in CG ? it’s a 4 block walk…do u need assisted care ?? If not sit in back of F train..when u get to Carroll St get off…walk 2 blocks to Henry…take a right on Henry and walk 2 blocks to Degraw….that ain’t so FAR…BIG BIG DISADVANTAGE….(i need your problems)
Surprised no one has mentioned yet the big disadvantage to this location – it is FAR from the subway. You’ll definitely make good use of yr parking spot living here.
Parking in Cobble Hill is about as bad as Brooklyn Heights–maybe worse because there are no garages anywhere really. Even if they charge you $1/day it’s probably still worth it, there’s no where to park anywhere around for less than $200/month (if anyone knows of anywhere let me know, I’m all over that) so you’d still be saving thousands a year.
I attended an open house in this building in 2004 for a smaller and less maintained apartment that sold for $510k, so I think this could get close to asking. The $35k parking spot is worth it since parking is at a premium in Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens (this street is on the border). Cheever Place is actually very quiet and lovely and its much better to have a unit facing there rather than on Hicks. I saw the place in the summer with the windows closed and the AC running and you could still hear the BQE traffic. The kitchen was cramped so I imagine this unit has a similar kitchen.
Yes there are maintenance fee associated in a deeded spots in a condo (like a $1 a day).
Deeded also means it is NOT part of the house. It can be sold separately.
BTW – some deeded spots in Manhattan sells for the same price as in decent studio in a decent neighborhood in Brooklyn (like $250K decent).

“what exactly does “Deeded parking spot” mean anyway?”
i think it means you purchase the parking spot so you “own” it and can sell it if/when you sell your apartment.
Does anyone remember the Odd Couple episode where they find out that to rent a parking space will cost $200/month and one of them says, “What? You could rent an apartment for that money.”
I was a little kid (naturally!) and that has stuck with me ever since. I remember going over and over in my head the fact that in Manhattan a parking space costs the same as an apartment.
for 35k that is.
