Co-op of the Day: 70 Remsen Street Studio
A pied-a-terre for the Versailles set? Maybe so. This 400-square-foot studio at 70 Remsen Street between Henry and Hicks in Brooklyn Heights has some nice old-world charm in the main room, though the kitchen isn’t exactly fit for a king.

A pied-a-terre for the Versailles set? Maybe so. This 400-square-foot studio at 70 Remsen Street between Henry and Hicks in Brooklyn Heights has some nice old-world charm in the main room, though the kitchen isn’t exactly fit for a king. And at $759, the monthly maintenance is a touch on the high side given the size of the apartment. But for someone who doesn’t need a lot of space and likes the idea of being in a high-quality prewar building in a great location, the $259,000 price tag might go over well.

I have a place in this building for $269K. It is really airy and renovated bath and floors. If you are interested, e-mail at petriasell@gmail.com. Thanks.
An old gay man? Old gay men tend not to live in studios; it’s all those school fees they’ve saved. I happen to live next door to this apartment and its owner, an artist, is in her thirties and straight.
Rob, you have to be the biggest nitwit in the world. No wonder your mother gave you up and your litter mates are turning up on craig’s list.
What, oh what, are you doing on a site dedicated to expensive real estate? You can’t afford a Happy Meal.
This is NY hon, get your act together and keep your bad-news buffet family problems to yourself. The idea here is to re-invent yourself into a better person not to talk about your childhood in jersey city and say dumb, uneducated things. I am saying these mean things for your own good. NY is a mean and snobbish place. Shape up or ship out!
But, uh, the bathroom opens directly into the living/bedroom.
If you buy a studio in your twenties because that’s all you can afford, and the price rises and you sell it, you will have cash to buy something bigger.
Boerum Hill,
I bought my co-op studio 4 years ago when I was in early twenties and single. When I needed something bigger, I rented mine pretty well. The good thing about studio is that in my neighborhood, the $return on a studio is the same as the return on a 1-bedroom, because the X dollar difference in rent is eaten away by the same X dollar difference in co-op maintenance.
Denton at this point, I’ll take any kind of Sugar Daddy!
No, I’m married. I found my Sugar Daddy. Actually my husband is not that rich he’s more like a Sweet ‘N Low Daddy. Which is better than being with an Equal Daddy cause they expect you to pay for half of everything.
I dont get buying studio apartments. Chances are, you will want to live there for a realtively short amount of time. If you get married/co-habitat, you’re going to want a 1 bedroom. If you start a family, you’re going to want 2 bedrooms or more. Unlike houses where there is little rental invenotry, there are a ton of studios available for rent, so you have a wide choice.
“And who wants an old gay man as a sugar daddy?!?!?!”
BRG, wouldn’t you rather have that than an old straight man?
