Co-op of the Day: 200 Hicks Street
This three-bedroom co-op at 200 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights is gorgeous. The recent renovation managed to inject a modern, light feel to the place without stripping it of its prewar character. (For some reason, we don’t even mind the recessed light–perhaps because it’s embedded in the soffit.) While the listing doesn’t say so explicitly,…
This three-bedroom co-op at 200 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights is gorgeous. The recent renovation managed to inject a modern, light feel to the place without stripping it of its prewar character. (For some reason, we don’t even mind the recessed light–perhaps because it’s embedded in the soffit.) While the listing doesn’t say so explicitly, we’re guessing that this is the ground floor unit, based upon the shape and size of the windows. This is the only negative we can find with this place, but it may prove to be a meaningful one given the asking price of $1,995,000. Thoughts?

Drunk squasher! That’s the best.
8:44 – oh, oh, oh, Mr. Kotter! Not me!
8:33, I am from a world where we use inclusive language, and when caught showing our sexism we say “oops, my bad.” I think your cluelessness of that as much as anything else that suggests I’m not ready to spend a lot of time with “impressive people from Wall Street.”

And 7:38, you can spin this any way you like, but this apartment is overpriced and is likely not going to appeal to the buyer you describe. It just doesn’t compute.
People with the kind of money you’re thinking about would A) not live in a 1,500 sq. foot 3 bedroom with zero family space on a GROUND floor and B) are a bit more interested in comps and being cautious with their money. It’s probably how they got to their “real millionaire”-hood in the first place.
squash! Oh my word, that is even worse than I thought.
Who would want to live next door to squashers when they could buy a nice house in a vegan, Berkely-light, aging-hippie commune near prospect park?
Simple statement of a fact. Most high income earners are a “he.” Not saying that’s right. It just is. Welcome to earth and America Putnamdenizen. Where you from?
7:26 – As surprising as it may be to some people on this board, not everyone wants to live in Park Slope.
I will now await the Park Slope onslaught.
I guess I like living a life and working in an environment where no one assumes that the only important person in a family is a “he.”
7:31 – Yeah, Norman pours one mean drink. Get on his good side and everything is at least a triple pour. Your squash stinks but you feel good. BTW – no “raquet ball”, only squash and tennis.
