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. 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.

Gravis,
Make no bones about it, this is NOT my cup of tea design wise. The yippee is regarding the building it’s in the location, the square footage, the fact that there are 2 closets combined with the price.
The draperies- blech!!
I have always loved the building but if I remember correctly, one could not have a dishwaher in the buidling (plumbing issues) and the apartments seemed dark… There are some combined studios — even duplexes — I think.
Did we ever figure out what happened to Petit Petit Petit Petit Petit Trianon?
(Spoken through clenched teeth): “Yes, you know Remsen is really my LEAST favorite street in the Heights!”
Hm, interesting, when I saw the comments here to an Oceana (Brighton Beach) apartment with an IDENTICAL interior design a while back, EVERY comment said how distasteful it is (“Russians don’t have taste”, “How good we, American hipsters, are”, etc).
BTW, I’m neutral to Russians, this interior style, hipsters, or anything about the two listings. At the same time I knew back then that if I saw that kind of apartment in a fancy area, all of a sudden the design would rule! After that when someone tries to rationally approve or disprove a design, all I here is “Blah, Blah, Blah..” It’s all relative anyway.
I like the building though.
If you don’t want people looking into your “affairs” then you should sell the place privately, not on a broker website where the whole world can see!!!! 🙂
The seller(s) were obviously horrified the commoners on Brownstoner were attempting to look into their affairs.
Does anyone know what the apartment number is?
Did Elliman forget to insert a “1” at the front of the offer price?
