135 lefferts place clinton hill 122014

We’ve been watching the building at 135 Lefferts Place take shape over the past few months (it’s on our route between home and office) and were just recently thinking that the developer deserved praise for putting up a small new building in this part of town that looks like someone gave a #@$%*!.

Decent ceiling heights, attractive and well-sized aluminum windows and even some plantings outside. Compare this to the atrocity up the block on the corner of Classon and Fulton or the cluster of buildings on Grand from Lexington to Greene and you’ll appreciate the difference.

As for the interiors, the modern doors are nice; the exposed Mitsubishi units not so much. This particular one-bedroom unit is 770 square feet and is asking $675,000, a helluva a lot more than the builder must have pro forma’d when he bought the place! Anyone checked this building out yet?

  1. Those split AC units are energy efficient and nearly silent, even if a bit of an eyesore. I love mine. If you put shelving underneath or painted the bedroom wall white they would not be nearly as noticeable.

    • Yeah I don’t see the problem with split systems. They don’t look “period” but honestly, must everything be covered in marble and mahogany? I’d rather have one of those high on a wall than a window unit, or have to run ducts. I WISH I could install one in my co-op.
