Co-op of the Day: 70 Remsen Street
Here’s a nice meat-and-potatoes prewar listing in Brooklyn Heights that should hit the sweet spot of many apartment hunters. Wall color aside, this two-bedroom, two-bath place at 70 Remsen Street has nice prewar bones, a new kitchen and a more open layout than you’d expect to find. And obviously the 103-unit building is a charmer….

It’s the rarefied air they have to pump through the buildings.
it seems that most BH buildings have much higher maintenance than other areas i’ve looked in. and not b/c of things like doormen or anything like that (at least not all). is it just that these buildings are in such bad (or i should say not great) financial shape or am i missing something? it seems more on the level of an upper east side apt.
fwiw, this is one of the hardest colors to look at

justme – I think you are right. Years ago (last bubble) people were buying ajoining studios to combine there. There may also have been an issue with plumbing — not sure if you coudl have a d/w then…
looks lovely but i’m going to venture to say that it is two apartments combined…hence the high mnt. to my knowledge, this building was originally studios (and MAYBE one bedrooms) because I believe it was a hotel at one time.
WoW they are really going for the gold with those colors. Love that building.
You can sit by the window and look out onto Grace Alley and watch the owner of the most expensive house in BroHi pull their Bugatti in and out of the Carraige House.
If you bought this, you would be just a couple of doors away from today’s 10.8 million mansion. The neighbors seem nice.
