Co-op of the Day: 24 Monroe Place
This two-bedroom co-op at 24 Monroe Place in Brooklyn Heights is a lovely prewar pad, to be sure. In addition to the two beds, the for-sale-by-owner listing’s got a foyer and formal dining room, two bathrooms and a recently reno’d kitchen. It’s a little odd that the blinds are drawn in all of the photos,…
This two-bedroom co-op at 24 Monroe Place in Brooklyn Heights is a lovely prewar pad, to be sure. In addition to the two beds, the for-sale-by-owner listing’s got a foyer and formal dining room, two bathrooms and a recently reno’d kitchen. It’s a little odd that the blinds are drawn in all of the photos, making us wonder what’s outside those windows and what floor it’s on, in the absence of any positive info. Still, sweet pad regardless. Maintenance is $1,600 a month, on the stiff side for a 1,250-square-foot apartment, but this is a top-shelf building. Asking price of $1,188,000 comes in at a little under $1,000 a foot. Think it’ll fly?

” industrial standard double oven/grill with 6 stoves”
6 stoves is now the standard?
I have 6 burners but wow, 6 stoves, I guess I need to do dome upgrading huh?
All in all the place seems nice but with maintenance like that? Just buy a house.
We bought a 2 / 2 in a pre-war doorman building on a similarly attractive BH street a few months ago for much much less. Same sq. footage. same maintenance. We had some cosmetic renovations that need / needed to be done, but certainly not over $350K worth!!! Gives us hope for resale value.
certainly not what i would call a classic layout. seems cramped. and decorated in the “80’s boardroom style” who wants to watch Working Girl with me later?
1.8 million in a reserve fund is unheard of. I don’t think I believe it. Do they have a huge flip tax? How could a coop raise that much excess cash? $200,000 to $400,000 would be considered a terrific reserve fund. Many co-ops have zipidity-doodah in their reserves, especially the “charming” walkups in converted brownstones.
If this co-op really has this much socked away, they should lower their maintenance because it is excessively high.
I love that block and that building. Seems to be a nicely laid out apt. Maybe the shades are all closed to allow for photography, easy to balance the light without a lot of equipment. The reason for the poor English may be found in the name of the owner. A lotta money tho…
It will not come close to $1,000 psf. And that’s not taking into account the mysterious maintenance and what may be behind window #1 (and #2 and #3…)
I don’t think horses like dogs that much either. They make ’em jumpy.
the copy is indeed a little silly. but it’s still better than the random bunches of words a typical broker dumps into a listing.
Should fly for not much less than ask. Heights and prewar make a deadly combo for a 2/2.
