Co-op of the Day: 209 Lincoln Place, #7CD

This three-bedroom co-op at 209 Lincoln Place that just hit the market has a slightly unusual layout for an old prewar apartment, but that’s largely the result of combining two apartments together. On the plus side, the resulting living and dining area is quite large; on the minus side, you have to walk through one of the bedrooms to get to another. The kitchen has also been renovated recently. The monthly maintenance is $1,558 and the asking price is $1,100,000. Think it’ll fly?

Beautiful apartment in a lovely building, and I am crazy about the area it’s in. Speaking as a woman with small kids, the layout is not so bad for a family. Your bedroom is at one end, and you put the kids at the other — if they have to walk through each other’s bedrooms it isn’t such a big deal, until they are adolescents anyway.
I could be wrong, but I don’t see how this goes for full ask of 1.1M, in this market and with that slightly odd layout and very high maintenance. Given the splendid location, I say just under a million to avoid the mansion tax. Lovely apartment though.
I would have liked it better with the original long hallway and French doors between the living room and formal dining room, although that tiny kitchen was never ideal. Where did the other weird suite come from — was that an adjacent studio they tacked on?
I like this building. Agree with others’ comments about the layout, however. Guess the apartment goes for somewhere in the $900’s.
re the photo – think it must have been taken from the roof of one of the brownstones opposite. Also, not sure if it solves the ‘photoshop’ mystery but the building is T-shaped (if memory serves) and so does get narrower at the back.
The outside photo is indeed weird. If the perspective is causing the front to appear at an angle, then it seems that you should be able to see some of the side of the building.
Probably distortion due to a wide angle lens?
As I mentioned in the earlier discussion referenced by 11217, I think this is quite a nice apartment in an excellent location. Definitely not a layout that will appeal to all, but it could work for the some. I think it’s go in the $850K to $925K range. I couldn’t find any recent similar sales in the building to compare it to.
It’s not the size; it’s that you can’t see any of the right side of the building, so it looks like a cutout or like a wedge where that right corner is less than 90 degrees.
This looks like a very nice apartment in a very nice building. The master bedroom has a nice private den or study atached. Very pleasant. However I agree it is not a 3-bedroom apartment so the price is off-base. This should sell in the 800,000’s I would guess. It has everything going for it.
I don’t think it’s photoshopped….it’s just one of the larger buildings on that street. Most of the rest of the street are brownstones.
me again — or is this building shaped like a wedge? It just looks funny.
