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.

It is a great neighborhood (bxgirl and I are former neighbors) but not if you want a quiet tree-lined street. Many of us opt for convenience and safety and this has it.
And while the number of wondows is not great — the size is – they are like mine — about 4’X 8′ so they are very large.
bxgrl, my point is when someone says Brooklyn Heights, I think most people assume they are talking west of Court, even if that isn’t the technical boundary. 110 Livingston is in a virtual no man’s neighbourhood. You could get a beautiful home almost anywhere else in Brooklyn, including Crown Heights, on a nice street for this asking price.
Anyway, I guess we’ll agree to disagree. I still love you.
ah well, jason, you obviously know nothing about the neighborhood. As I said before, just becuase it is not as picturesque as your..er…refined tastes demand, doesn’t make it a bad neighborhood. And I do know- I lived over there from over 20 years.
biff, i was being facetious. (try googling the line with “austin powers”. so my sense of humor is stuck in 1998).
but agree with you on the crappiness of the neighborhood. the block looks, feels, and smells like downtown brooklyn, not brooklyn heights. and as an aside, brooklyn heights absolutely is bounded by court st. being close to a nice neighborhood doesn’t mean it is in a nice neighborhood.
I’m not arguing the two areas are different- I’m arguing your comments on the location being bad or not close to amenities. And truthfully the intersection is not horrific- i crossed it a thousand times. Court St., a couple og blocks from Montague, and the trains, Atlantic Ave. and even to downtown. Its not as picturesque as where you are, but that doesn’t make it a bad location or a not nice neighborhood.
My friend lives in this building – her apartment is nice (the bathroom is comically large), but the best thing about her place by far is that she paid extra for a private roofdeck. Her roofdeck is awesome.
scarter – The floors are bamboo and I think they get easily scratched.
“the kid of home”. Oops, I meant the “kind” of home.
bxgrl, sorry to disagree. The intersection it is on is horrific. While I could have phrased it better, yes, the building is not that far from nicer areas and amenities, the immediate vicinity is not nice.
I also concede the traditional neighbourhood boundaries might extend east of Court. However, there is nothing similar about the areas east and west of Court and north of Atlantic. It’s impossible to argue this. It is like night and day.
BH76, that’s NYC living. 20×17 for Living space is quite generous when most post war apts are 20×12. I would be more irked by the one exposure.
biff- it’s less than a block from everything! What are you talking about- nothing in the immediate vicinity?! The main entrance is on Livingston and while not as beautiful as the ever so snobby BH, the location is great. BH by the way is not defined by court St. And i used to live on Schermerhorn, right behind 110 Livingston.
