Co-op of the Day: 11 Schermerhorn Street, #4FE
This fourth floor two-bedroom at 11 Schermerhorn Street in Brooklyn Heights may be in a prewar building but the recent renovation didn’t manage to preserve much of that vibe. The rooms are generously-proportioned benefit from nice windows and light. The galley kitchen isn’t doing it for us. Then again, the asking price of $675,000 isn’t…

Thoughts?

Look at the googlemap, don’t you see the little orange arrow right under the words “Brooklyn Heights”?
And yes, it is as reasonable price for a 4 room apt. in Brooklyn Heights.
In theory, I like the layout because the windows stretch along the long part of the rooms and the kitchen has two entrances.
In reality, I’m wondering if this was a one bedroom converted to a two, wishing the rooms either had prewar details or the kitchen was more modern, and agree the aisle looks too narrow.
Three feet is standard to avoid claustrophobia and not being able to open the oven or dishwasher.
It sounds cheap for a two bedroom in Brooklyn Heights. Don’t know about downtown.
bobbyi, you may be a very nice person, but you flunk geography. This is very much in Brooklyn Heights and in the Historic District.
Are you kidding Minard? Have you ever been on this block?The apartment is in downtown Bklyn- not Bklyn Heights. Yes it’s conveinient for Popeyes and McDonalds and not far from the Fulton mall. I guarantee it won’t even go in the 6’s.
The location will sell the apartment for close to ask.
Sorry, BH76, if you clean the filter regularly (in the diswasher) it will trap a not insignificant amount of grease. If you saute or pan fry a lot (or even reduce sauces) the steam is laden with grease/oil. It does keep your cabinets a lot cleaner and less sticky.
This is a nicely renovated, well-staged apartment. But I still don’t think it’s over 850 sf., which is small for a 2br. I’d look at as a generous 1 br, using the small room for office/study/guest br. I’d say it goes for about 10 pct. off ask.
Denton — That’s not a vent — at least by any building code. A hood like that is mainly decorative.
Horrible location, high maintenance. Looks cookie cutter, no moldings etc… Nasty paint job in bedroom and a kitchen that you need to walk through sideways to fit. Over priced too, only good if you need to be close to the unemployment office on Schemerhorn on a regualr basis.
BH76, of course you can. Those microwave oven/filters have a fan that pulls the air thru grease filters and puts it back out. Hell, every rental in the city has one!
