If you’re dying to live in Brooklyn Heights but your taste leans more towards the modern, you could do worse than to end up in this one-bedroom loft at 55 Poplar Street. Granted the space has put its best foot forward with a top-notch renovation and some well-staged pictures, but the 13-foot ceilings are for real; they also make possible the two mezzanine spaces. The asking price is $789,000 and combined common charges are $946 a month, not bad for a 1,054-square-foot space in this neighborhood.
55 Poplar Street, #2F [Halstead] GMAP P*Shark
Mezz #1 = 144
Mezz #2 = 127
Kitchen = 128
LR/DR = 296
br = 175
TOTAL = 870
Not much to debate there as all the interior dimensions are labeled.
Bath + WIC = 115 approx
The overall dimensions are about 35×25
(35+35+25+25) x 0.5 = 60 for the walls
870 + 115 + 60 = 1,045
No more egregious than a typical listing.
Yeah, there is some fudge factor in there, and I’m in complete agreement 5 foot mezzanine lofts are a bogus way to inflate square footage. But I *expect* square footage to be represented this way; like it or not, that is simply how it gets accounted. It’s a moot point because you do the mental discount in a couple nanoseconds with every listing you look at.
Caveat emptor.
Oh. A 5′ mezzanine. Rob, it isn’t for the elderly. It’s for dwarves.
Not crazy about the layout–you walk right in to the kitchen, and the only bath is within the bedroom.
yeah those loft things creep me out.. it must be like sleeping in a coffin. i slept on the top bunk one summer in college. NEVER again.

Those big windows sure are nice. The whole space seems very light and white.
But the entrance to the one bathroom is through the bedroom. Tch tch. And for nearly $800K, I would want a half bath for guests, anyhow.
How do you use a mezzanine space? A home office is one obvious use, and maybe a guest bedroom, but how attractive is that?
The floorplan says the mezzanine is 5′ high.
Utterly useless.
Next item up for bids, please!

Absolutely not! 13′ divided into two levels means unacceptably low kitchen/closet/bath ceilings PLUS unusable ‘loft’ spaces with probably no more than 5′ clearance.
Not worth even considering… I so, so hate these horrible ‘loft’ designs.
