Co-op of the Day: 30 Willow Place, #4

This railroad-style co-op at 30 Willow Place has a nice feel to it and has a charming, if not quite as convenient as some parts of Brooklyn Heights, location going for it as well. While the layout is sure to deter most people looking for a place to stash their first child, it could work nicely for as a bachelor or couple’s pad, especially for someone wanting a separate home office space. This place is also likely to appeal to someone with a thing for historic details. (Nice hardware!) Now for the numbers: Monthly maintenance is $795, a trifle high for a 720-square-foot apartment in a non-doorman building. Asking price is $565,000. Achievable?

i’ve also seen the 5th floor walkup above it. the layout is terrible, the kitchen is too small for a table but still eats up alot of room, living room is cramped. and don’t get me started on the ‘den’ and ‘office.’ #5 also showed its age but not in a good way. cracks everywhere, none of the walls met the floor. but maybe #4 is better kept up.
the location isn’t great. yes it’s within walking distance to shops, but i hate the idea of a 10 minute walk if i run out of something 11 o’clock at night.
no way this trades above $500k.
I hate the floor plan – the kitchen is in a weird/bad location.
Since the general concensus on this site is that Brooklyn Heights is the least desirable and least convenient neighborhood in Brooklyn. I think we should just all agree that this should be low-income senior housing and focus our attention on more desirable locations such as Fourth Avenue or Red Hook.
Well, they call it a 1.5 BR. But, yes, trying to make it more than it is makes it look like less than it is. It’s a good one bedroom plus some extra space. I find it quite beautiful.
Great details and light. Location Ok vs. anywhere else in the Heights. Layout, however, is a big, big drawback.
I think they make a mistake calling it a 2 BR. You’d REALLY have to twist things around to make that work.
> That office could be converted to a sweet hallway.
Zing!
Too many little “rooms” and an awkward layout. The hinges, however – as pointed out above – are nice.
I didn’t even read the listing here, but as I say I did see the 5th floor sister-unit. parking was available at $75 a month. They have a fenced lot next door. I wonder if they ever consider selling that lot…
It says gated parking is “available” — did it say it was *included*?
love the building, the location, the parking. it is a walk-up. last year the unit on top of this sold super quickly but in the 400s, but a 5th floor walk-up is really much worse than 4th floor imo. I saw that unit. Very sweet. Lovely big rooms and light. Perfect for a single gal/guy.
