Co-op of the Day: 164 Columbia Heights
It’s hard to walk along the Brooklyn Heights promenade without coveting the gardens and views of those townhouses lucky enough to look out over the water. This ground-floor two-bedroom co-op at 164 Columbia Heights may only be one floor but it’s got the garden. And what’s that worth? Hard to say exactly, but there’s probably…

It’s hard to walk along the Brooklyn Heights promenade without coveting the gardens and views of those townhouses lucky enough to look out over the water. This ground-floor two-bedroom co-op at 164 Columbia Heights may only be one floor but it’s got the garden. And what’s that worth? Hard to say exactly, but there’s probably about 1,100 square feet of interior space and the asking price on the apartment is $1,250,000. (The maintenance is $1,300 a month.) We bet they’ll get pretty close to that price.

just you wait till that bikini car wash opens up on montague every sunday afternoon. (brought to you by the sweet old ladies at st. ann’s parish)
but boarding school doesn’t start til the kid is FIVE!
Whenever I read here about BH being so boring, I think of apartments like this. Nights out at literary award dinners or some such in manhattan, evenings in apartments with views like this and weekends in bermuda. I mean, sure, there’s no Tea Lounge, but pfffffffftt — who needs it?
“with 2 kids couldn’t see a way”
The under the sink cabinet is traditional among the million dollar apt set.
In the tennis rack container also works pretty well for a while, and after that, there is always boarding school.
since when is 1.20 psf “sky high”. sorry to say, but $1 psf is not really the norm anymore. not with property tax hike, water cost hike and heating cost hike.
They had me on the 4th picture with the back door open to the patio and city views. Sweetness.
1:46 — 200k is a LOT of salary — four times the national median. That’s why you, quite rightly, think that you should be able to afford a one BR in a nice neighborhood in Brooklyn.
Wait, and you will be. There aren’t enough people making double what you do to keep 1 BR apts at over $1m.
This has the garden, location and view going for it. However, I’m betting nobody spends more time in that dining area than it takes to pass through it and the second bedroom is 7 feet wide (or, narrow rather) people! Assume this would get $750 per sf, which is probably around the avg for the area. So with no garden, location or view, this should sell maybe for $825,000. So is the garden and view worth $425,000? Just asking…
not hating, it’s a great place
but what is up with the sky-high maintenance. . . for a brownstone coop. huge underlying mortgage or soemthing?
