Co-op of the Day: 141 Lafayette Avenue
As anyone who’s ever been in the courtyard of 141 Lafayette Avenue can tell you, this 21-unit co-op is one charmer of a building. (The casement windows seal the deal for us.) This two-bedroom apartment has lots of original architectural detail and plenty of windows; the one drawback, for some, may be that there’s only…
As anyone who’s ever been in the courtyard of 141 Lafayette Avenue can tell you, this 21-unit co-op is one charmer of a building. (The casement windows seal the deal for us.) This two-bedroom apartment has lots of original architectural detail and plenty of windows; the one drawback, for some, may be that there’s only one bathroom. The 950-square-foot pad has a monthly maintenance of $744 and is asking $635,000. There are open houses on Saturday and Sunday this weekend from 2 to 4 p.m.

I’ve been in this apartment. The windows don’t leak.
The courtyard behind the building is really something to see. Great for gatherings.
Respect the poo mist. It’s why you’re supposed to close the toilet lid before flushing. Otherwise a good deal of bacteria sprays up and out when you flush. Some have tested and found the spray goes as far as a few feet away from the toilet and they have found fecal matter on toothbrushes.
House was not in NYC…in the burbs of. New construction by hot shot architect and hot shot designer. It was over 40,000 sq. ft. That was an ostentatious (sp?) display of wealth.
I agree one bath in 2-bedroom is acceptable. Sure, it would be nice to have 2nd bath or half bath, but let’s stop complaining.
Hubby grew up with 7 other siblings in an apt with one bath….talk about learing to hold your own!
Agreed about the bathrooms, although there are some mornings when sharing ours is a real relationship test…
Looks like kitchen/bath could use a little work (hard to tell from photos).
Overall, though, a charmer. Get this asking closer to $600K, and I think that you got a deal.
well all those extra bathrooms could potentially come in handy for their future bulemic daughters. sorry, crass joke, but pertinent to the issue at hand.

yes poo mist is what you make when you take a stinkie. it’s an actual mist you know.

Hilarious about the 24 bathrooms. I always laugh when I’m watching HGTV and you have one young married couple without children shopping for a house in the suburbs and upset when they can’t get more than 3 bathrooms. And they’re never rich enough to afford a regular cleaning lady, by all appearances. Do these people ever think about the fact they have to clean all those bathrooms at least once or twice a week?
So I agree with Rob’s rant. I’m kinda tired of seeing the whining about “only one bathroom” around here. Does Brownstoner have any idea how few 2BR coops in historic Brooklyn buildings have 2 bathrooms? Almost none. If you want 2 bathrooms you have to buy new construction.
