Co-op of the Day: Turner Towers Two-Bedroom
Longtime readers should know by now that we’re suckers for the pre-war charm and relative affordability of Turner Towers, the 186-unit co-op building at 135 Eastern Parkway overlooking the Brooklyn Museum. It doesn’t appear that this particular apartment overlooks the museum (is that a brick wall we see out the living room window), but the…
Longtime readers should know by now that we’re suckers for the pre-war charm and relative affordability of Turner Towers, the 186-unit co-op building at 135 Eastern Parkway overlooking the Brooklyn Museum. It doesn’t appear that this particular apartment overlooks the museum (is that a brick wall we see out the living room window), but the details and scale are both intact. The kitchen is the only downer. Asking price on the 1,127-square-foot two-bedroom, two-bath unit? $689,000. About right?

11217 – Awesome. I really like the little deli/grocery right next to the diner, across the street from the supermarket, but they close too early. 🙂
And yeh – I walk from here to vanderbilt fairly often even in the cold weather, since I have friends who live at Vandy/Bergen, but my “this feels close” radius is much smaller at this time of year. I think living in california for a couple years turned me into a wuss about the cold.
snark, how do you know the sq.ft. is wrong? if floorplan is accurate, it comes out to about whats stated.
i seriously hate lazy agents. how hard is it to put up a pic of the bedroom and other bathroom? digital camera = no film cost. i guess bathrooms/bedrooms arent really important, its all about the lobby and facade. (cranky today). oh, and foyers are wasted space in small places, not something to tout.
Snarky, I get annoyed when people say “first of all” and then don’t follow it up with a “secondly”
Ah, DIBS, I’m one of those lipstick lesbos – no plaid for me. I’d fill it with skirts and cleavage-revealing tops 🙂
I’m similar, CW.
Although in warmer weather my radius of what I consider close expands from about 5 blocks to 15.
Speaking of…did you see the new 24 hour deli opening up on 7th between Union and President? It looks promising for a late night fruit/cigarette run.
11217 – I wouldn’t want to live on PPW either. 🙂
I’m really picky about that. If I have to walk more than half a block to get to stuff, bleh. No thanks. Not unless the place is super cheap, which these obviously aren’t. I like Vanderbilt a lot, but this building is far enough from Vanderbilt that I’d find it annoying in weather like we’re having this week.
It’s no more “desolate” than living on Prospect Park West in terms of proximity to retail.
In fact, this isn’t far from Washinton or Vanderbilt…the latter of which has an excellent selection of bars/shops/restaurants and a grocery store.
With that being said, I wouldn’t want to live here.
For all those plaid shirts, Snappy?
That’s the mother-load of closets in the smaller bedroom.
