Condo of the Day: 110 Livingston Street, #6W
This one-bedroom condo at 110 Livingston Street hit the market last week for $729,000 and was trimmed to $714,000 this week; according to StreetEasy, the 893-square-foot unit was initially purchased from the sponsor two years ago for $545,000.

This place has a great layout and personally we really like the kitchen finishes as well. Hard to see how it fetches $800 a foot now when it barely cleared $600 a foot back in the heyday.

110res- when i first m oved to Schermerhorn 96 was all boarded up with 24 hour guard dogs isnide. Yes- that scary. And the lobby was a complete wreck. We were so happy when they renovated- the lobby is beautiful. Never really got to see the lobby of 110- the security guards were none too friendly but i was friendly with the guy who watched the loading dock in back. He was so nice but the loading dock did not have great details 🙂
DeLepp, the windows are new, but permanently (I think) babyproofed so you can’t open them up more than 8 inches or so. I imagine the old windows from the building’s previous life had to be replaced as they were mainly AC unit place holders.
bxgirl, I remember liking 96 Schermerhorn’s entryway as well–a bit like the entrance to a wood paneled men’s club.
110’s entryway isn’t half bad–most of the great detail and restoration work is on the ceiling where my eyes rarely go. The space (I believe the old theater room?) where Issue Project Room is slated to occupy, however, is truly something to behold.
thanks, 110res. I know 96 Schermerhorn has ground flooor coops too and their windows are very high so I assumed it cut down on the noise from the street. I had a friend who lived in that one. I bet the entryway is fabulous – even as the Board of Ed it was amazing.

BellTel Lofts are large studios for the most part — not real bedrooms (no windows). And in crappy Metrotech. Notice how they put “*” by the bedrooms — cause they are not legal. And there are TONS of problems with BellTel.
110res, are the windows new? I was glad they made these into housing after boe left. Never made to the open houses.
–DeLepp- do the apartments start on the ground floor or only up above? I know the windows are very high.
I know this wasn’t directed at me, but I figured I’d answer since I live here.
Apartments start on the 2nd floor (technically, I think it’s the first floor, but it’s about half a floor up from the street).
All the windows in the older part of the buildings are huge, about 6ft x 4ft (though the sheer size of the building makes them seem puny), but I think the windows on the lower floors are even bigger since the ceilings on the first 2 or 3 floors are like 18ft. I’ve heard a couple of apartments have built mezzanines.
BklynSoFar, you’re obviously completely unfamiliar with the area, so what’s with the comments about it not “feeling safe”?
Not only are there plenty of people who live on that block, there are the students at Brooklyn Law a block away who keep odd hours, as well as a huge hotel (the Marriott) that operates 24/7.
Besides, it’s impossible to walk down Livingston from Cobble Hill. Court, yes, but Livingston is perpendicular to Court, so they’re not substitutes. You’ll pass by Livingston st if you’re heading to Borough Hall from Cobble Hill via Court, but there are just as many coops and condos on that block as there are offices.
In fact, dollars to donuts that the block is denser than any single brownstone block in Cobble Hill or Brooklyn Heights., Having a lot of people (and eyes) around contributes greatly to the feeling of safety.
What is so mind blowing is how a Manhattan Elliman broker gets the listing for this apartment when the Elliman Brooklyn Heights office is a step away. It seems that the Manhattan Elliman brokers obtain equally as many Brooklyn listings as the Brooklyn Elliman Brokers. This speaks loudly to the inept management at the Brooklyn Heights office. Why doesn’t the local manager of this office have the ability to compete with the other larger and smaller brokerages in the neighborhood? Upper management should keep their eyes on this issue of ineptitude and lack of an ability to compete.
if “great” equals “price per square foot” then, sure. But relative value, and beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
