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?

well 2:04, you are wrong, wrong wrong—it is much larger than what you “imagine” it to be!

I think this place is bigger than 1200 sf.
WHAT IS SQUARE FOOTAGE?? I mean, shouldn’t we be talking about comps here? I mean, I though 1000/psf was very top of market so is this place 2000 sf? Certainly does not look like it is. When you add the outrageous maintenance, does that impact the psf? I think 1.5 would be high price for this pad – that’s pretty much the ceiling for top-notch 3BR/2BA in most of prime Bklyn, and even 1 mil can be high for many others.
can’t speak to the numbers other than i can’t afford it, but:
“You can’t see into the apartment from the street, unless the shades are dropped all the way down.”
yes – the owners have cleverly installed “bottom-up” shades so they can sheild views into the apartment but still get views out and natural light.
Going to be a skinny buying pool for this place. You need $1 million down and then it will cost you a mere $9K a month to carry the place (pre-tax shelter).
I own an entire house about 10 blocks away. I’d gladly sell it for $1 million + a commitment from someone to pay me $9K per month in perpetuity.
P.S. From the looks of it, this place looks like it’s about 1,200 sf or a mere $1,600 psf.
yeah, park avenue in the 20’s maybe.
if you REALLY think a comparable apartment like this with this kind of maint and 50% down up on Park Avenue/Upper East Side allows renting to non-family, you are looney.
I think Elizabeth Celano put the BS in BHS. I don’t think this is going for more than $1.7 (if that). Crazy price.
1:39 born and raised here-just letting the other folks know since there was convo re rent $. And no, there are quite a few Park Avenue Co-Ops one can rent to non-family members.
