Co-op of the Day: 279 Sterling Place Studio
If we were a bachelor, this is one pad we’d have to consider. While only a studio, the gigantic windows and ceilings in this 3rd floor apartment at 279 Sterling Place in Prospect Heights make for an incredible space; the ivied exterior of the former public school building doesn’t hurt the listing’s charm factor either….

The sleeping loft set-up won’t tickle everyone’s fancy though. The maintenance is a pleasing $389 per month. The asking price is $389,000, slightly more than $600 a foot. Reasonable?

I love that building, but nearly $400k for a studio with sleeping loft that is too low to stand in?
To quote Pop Will Eat Itself, “Wise up, suckers!”
Lenny, yes, it is true. A couple of other facts: “east facing” means “parking lot facing.” And speaking of which, there is off-street parking, although I don’t know if there is a charge or a waiting list.
This is one of the best buildings I’ve seen in Brooklyn. I used to live on the same block and gazed at it with contemptuous envy every time I passed by. If it were a condo, it would be a good investment as a vacation rental.
Is it true that this building was used to relocate tenants when Ratner built Metrotech?
i’ve walked by washington commons – looks really nice and a great selection of craft beers. but with toddler in tow we usually can’t stop in at bar-no-grill establishments. we do Soda ‘cuz it’s our local and the kid will sit thru some french fries, but even there we have to make it brief before the mean hipsters who start drinking for serious at 3pm start giving us the evil eye. 😉
I have been to Washington Commons…it’s a really nice place and the outdoor area is great! I also like Tracey Westmoreland’s new place, The Manhattans.
I keep meaning to try Garden Cafe…will have to move it closer to the top of the list…
Honestly, Prospect Heights rocks…it has all of the “cool” stuff without feeling like it’s trying to be anything. It just is.
Oh, and if one is going to mention good food and Vanderbilt, need to state the obvious and cite a fine dining institution – Garden Cafe. Not the cheapest place in the world but I think the food there rivals any place in Manhattan or Brooklyn. I love Soda as well 11217. Have you been buy the new place on Washington with the outdoor space? (Washington Commons I believe). Wanted to stop by but haven’t had the chance yet.
“11217, i heard the same thing too, a new place perhaps in the style of dressler.”
Hopefully just the ambiance of Dressler, with better food (Dressler has fallen off – doubt they will keep their Mich Star)
where’s Rob with his poo-mist comments?
This would be my bachelor pad…
Yes, Vanderbilt and Bergen! Thanks I disagree. We seem to have similar curiosities about new things opening up around the area.
I hope the rumor turns out to be true.
