Co-op of the Day: 62 Pierrepont Street
We’re loving the layout and bones of this three-bedroom apartment at 62 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights. Lots of prewar-y goodness, from the inlaid parquet floors to the large windows to the moldings. Given the lack of a photo, we suspect the kitchen may need some love from the owner, but this seems like a…
We’re loving the layout and bones of this three-bedroom apartment at 62 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights. Lots of prewar-y goodness, from the inlaid parquet floors to the large windows to the moldings. Given the lack of a photo, we suspect the kitchen may need some love from the owner, but this seems like a great space to us for a family looking in the Heights. Based on our guesstimate, the apartment is probably about 1,300 square feet, making its monthly maintenance of $1,287 reasonable and its asking price of $975,000…well, you tell us.

nice aptmt. good location. decent view. then the freaking price ruins my good feelings for it. expect more for 975k price.
wish the kitchen was a bedrm and the entry way bedrm is the kitchen.
This must be a flip since it sold last year for 775 per streeteasy, so I assume the kitchen and bathrooms are done (and “personal touch” means your stuff? I don’t know).
If so, think mid-900s makes sense. If yesterday’s Remsen place was good for a family with one kid, this works for two kids. kids share a room, parents have a room, LR, DR, and an office (for ME!). an extra bathroom would be nice, but a 3 bed/2ba will run you 300k more in the neighborhood and not everyone can swing that.
If kitchen and bath aren’t redone, the price is too high.
What cw says, but you could keep in Brooklyn Heights for 400K-500K and I don’t think it would sell immediately at this price
Streeteasy shows another coop on the same floor also listed by same broker at BHS. 3 bedroom, 2 bath, laundry room, fully renovated and about 20% larger. It’s got nice closets and a great floorplan. Listed for 1.25 MM.
By the time you renovated this place to the same standards, you’ll sink in the same amt of cash and still have a smaller space, no closets, no second bath, & no laundry room.
Waaay over priced. Decent deal at 800K but not at 975K
Agree with cw. I like the layout. If it had more than one bathroom, it would be post 1920s, and that would mean instead you’d have to have a tunnel for a living room with one little window at the end of it. As for the small bedroom with no closet, put a wardrobe in it like they used to do.
cw…I’m forcing myself not to rewrite your 1:08 post 🙂
It needs more than one bath.
Back in the day, that 8′ x 9′ bedroom would have been a maids room. Typically it would have had a really tiny bathroom with a toilet and mini-tub and a sink in the room.
One bathroom for three bedrooms is MORE than enough? Only in New York, kids…
