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.

InsertSnappyNameHere – I don’t like parquet floors either. I much prefer straight slats, especially if they’re wide and relatively dark.
Per the BHS website, asking price is now $949,000. So reduced already. Third “bedroom” is very small.
I also don’t really understand the Brooklyn Heights premium, especially considering some decent parts of Manhattan are now in the same range and BH buildings tend to have very high maintenance (though this one is not too insane).
Closets in all the “bedrooms” might also be nice when you’re paying a million smackers.
I don’t like parquet floors – go ahead, throw stones at me. One picture doesn’t cut it and the smallest bedroom has no closet. No dice.
It seems like Brooklyn Heights has a near-infinite supply of pre-war condos/co-ops with high maintenance, in need of some work, that are priced between $800k and $1mm.
All of which would interest me a lot more if you halved the maintenance, priced them between $500k and $700k, and moved them out of Brooklyn Heights.
unless everyone in the apt ate some bad chinese food the night before at the same time, one bathroom is more than enough. jeez.
*rob*
I think 2 baths might be nice when you’re paying a million smackers.
Even better… there should be a separate bathroom for everyone that could live there, plus one for guests. So 2-adults and 3 children… should be 5-1/2 baths for a 3 bedroom apartment. Oh, and the kitchen is waaaaay too small if you plan on cooking more than a pop tart… right?
“This fabulous space awaits your personal touch.”
Translation…gut me.
