Co-op of the Day: 75 Livingston Street, #7B
We like the look and feel of this one-bedroom mini-loft at 75 Livingston Street in Brooklyn Heights. There’s lots of natural light and the open-plan living area feels quite spacious; as a bonus, you get a separate den as well, which is really a windowless second bedroom that they’re not allowed to call a bedroom….

We wish they’d provided a square footage number for the apartment, as it would make it easier to assess the asking price of $600,000 and monthly maintenance of $941. Given our back-of-the-envelope estimate of about 825 square feet, both numbers feel a tad high but not totally wacko.

sam, agree with you re: the outside of the building and didn’t mean to downplay it’s beauty. The outside of it is stunning, indeed. Just a shame the apartments themselves are so blah…although they all seem to have unique layouts (not necessarily in a good way).
I think this looks like a terrific apartment. I would guess they will do a little better than $525. That den space is nice. I know people in the building, it has a nice staff, and great views.
Why are we down on this building? It is one of the Boro’s great Art Deco skyscrapers.
Regarding 75 Livingston Street, #7B, the building is nice but the apartments have virtually no detail. I’m also not crazy about the location of the building, which is right at Court Street.
Taking everything into consideration, I think if the sellers get offered $525K, they should take it and run. That wouldn’t be a horrible price for the buyers to pay either.
I’m with you on that Rob,
Soho is NOT a place I would want to live at all.
But The What doesn’t understand that. Among many other things…
who the hell wants to live in an outdoor mall!?
*rob*
You can rent in Soho for less..

Thanks Biff. Just passed it along. I figured that if you were interested, you wouldn’t have posted it here. 😉
I think whoever bids on that place, they should try to get it for 999K and avoid the mansion tax and have a winner of a deal.
M4L/11217, no worries, it’s not for me. It’s too small for my family and all our stuff (more like junk). I wouldn’t have posted it if I was interested. 🙂
I just saw it on Natefind and thought it looked surprisingly inexpensive and gorgeous, although I’m also really not crazy about going through one bedroom to get to another – big drawback if the bedroom you’re going to is used as a bedroom. Otherwise, it looks fabulous. I thought the location was prime as well, but wasn’t positive.
So 11217, please pass it on to your friend. Hope he / she likes it.
Apologies for the mini-hijack of this thread away from the Livingston St. place.
