Co-op of the Day: 193 Sterling Place
This floor-through co-op at 193 Sterling Place in Prospect Heights looks pretty nice to us but could benefit greatly from a little staging.

This floor-through co-op at 193 Sterling Place in Prospect Heights looks pretty nice to us but could benefit greatly from a little staging. The bulky, not particularly charming, furniture and the clutter make the apartment feel much smaller than it actually is and prevent its strengths—the original architectural detail—from taking center stage. Given that there’s a good-sized private roof deck and a relatively low monthly maintenance of $391, the asking price of $575,000 seems reasonable to us, especially if the seller’s can improve their presentation.

Agree with all that this is a not inexpensive one bedroom. If you could take down the wall between the bedroom and “office” you might be able to make it more livable. Low maintenance — but then no services. For over a half million you have a walk-up and have to go to a laundromat. Only in NYC…
Isn’t this the house that’s leaving giveaway junk on its stoop every other day?
Doesn’t look like a two-bed to me. Where, exactly, is the 2nd bedroom located? For a 1-bed, it’s a very nice layout. And the deck!
Bet that this location gets very noisy with traffic on Flatbush, and traffic waiting at the light on Sterling. This might explain the price. Also, because the building on Flatbush backs onto the opposite side of Sterling here, I always find that end of the block to be a bit uninviting. Still, is that major objection? Probably not.
It’s nothing to sneeze at, and if I were in the market, I would be at this open house.
It’s not bad, but it does look a bit small. Less than 700 sq. ft (excl. deck) if the floorplan can be trusted.
Also, the 2nd “bedroom” is 6 ft wide and only accessible from the main bedroom, so I think this is more of a 1 bedroom with den.
And there is nothing wrong with that — and this looks like a nice place for a single person or couple w/o kid over the age of 2.
Location is a little noisy for my tastes (1/2 block from flatbush), but as I remember it is a nice block and is certainly close to the subways.
This place is in subway heaven. Near the B,Q, 2, 3 & 4!
I love the space and the low maintenance. Should move quickly.
If not then I may make a low ball offer 🙂
Not to be a downer, but I’m not entirely sure how this is a true 2 bedroom. Yes, the 2nd bed has a closet and a window… but it’s tiny and must be entered through the main bedroom.
I’d have to call it a 1.5 w/ office. Nice block though.
Very nice!!
Crappy pics, ugly kitchen- Who cares! Great space, great price!
$575,000 might be an acceptable price if this were a two bedroom apartment, but as one bedroom, it is laughably high for this location.
While it doesn’t have six stoves like the 24 Monroe joint yesterday, I’m excited at the prospect of playing chess on the backsplash while waiting for my souffle to rise.
not bad. Would be a phenomenal price if there were 2 baths but alas, the world is not perfect.
