Apartment #9 at 422 State Street in Boerum Hill is either a slightly scrunched two-bedroom or quite a generous one-bedroom, depending on where you stand. It looked bigger to us on paper than the 800 square feet or so we calculated from the floorplan. Other pluses: Two exposures, prewar details, and an elevator building. At $734 a month, the maintenance is about right. The recently renovated kitchen is somewhat unusual but appears to work well for the space. Asking price: $499,000. Reactions?

  1. Its a decent one bedroom – though at most 700SF. Kitchen is strange. I cannot imagine they will get ask – partially because noone will offer ask these days. I saw the 2-bedroom to which ALSAWO links – it was terrible. So very cramped.

  2. That’s a radiator. The TV is a big old flat panel mounted on a swinging mount in what’s currently being used as a den (but would be counted as the second bedroom). It’s small, but considering the location, the elevator, the condition of the building, the appliances, and that this is its first week on the market, I’d say that this is about … uh … expected would be the right word. In other words, I don’t know if it’s a RIGHT price, but it’s not as batshit insane as some of the other asking prices I’ve seen in the area.

    No grilling on the deck, though! Boooo.

    Brown Harris has a much bigger one for sale upstairs from this one for, I think, $599K.

  3. It looks like a nice one-bedroom, but is that really an elevator building? From the outside, it doesn’t look like one. (That is it looks a lot like a few non-elevator buildings in that area I’ve seen.)

    I like the kitchen.

  4. They want to market it as a 2-bedroom, they should stage that way.

    I’d like to see them fit a sofa, coffee table, TV and the dining table and chairs in that room they labelled ‘living/dining’
