Co-op of the Day: 145 Hicks Street, #B37
This one-bedroom at 145 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights (aka the Mansion House) just hit the market with a price tag of $539,000. The 850-square-foot apartment has pleasing prewar details, including a sunken living room; the exterior and common areas in the building are also full o’ charm. We’re a little suspicious of the fact…

We’re a little suspicious of the fact that the listing omits any photos of the bathroom or kitchen. This place one of five units currently on the market in the building; it’s also the cheapest.

This looks like Oscar Madison’s apartment.
Ummm….where are the windows?
I know there are windows indicated in the floorplan but are they real? Does the B in the unit number indicate a basement level unit?
This looks like it spent years as a rental. Wonder if it’s a sponser sale. Will need to spend another $50K for bathroom and kitchen upgrade.
Yes, I do agree with you Gem. Almost always, it seems!
Dullsville is right!
This place is Dullsville incarnate. Nice closet space, good layout in general, but those railings around the sunken living room are awful.
Where is the alleged charm?

Tyburg loves this place!
It’s a very nice building. I have friends who are very happy living there. I don’t know about the 1 bedroom, but I’ve looked at a couple of 2 bedrooms, and they are large – eat-in kitchen, separate dining area, good size living room, bedrooms and baths, and a lot of closet space. Both units I saw in the building need a lot of work though.
(I’d prefer not to buy from this broker, however. I went to an Open House for her 2-bedroom listing in this building, and she completely ignored me – I’m talking not even “hello” or “goodbye”. I tried to get her attention to ask a question, but to no avail, so I left. I find this behavior extremely rude and very foolish, especially in this market.)
I have to agree with you Ty. I think this place looks like crap. And for that price, it’s almost absurd.
The fact that there are 5 units for sale in the same building doesn’t really seem to speak well for it either.
Seriously… people would actually want to buy this apartment?! Really? Jaysus, no wonder why the real estate prices in this city are beyond absurd.
