Co-op of the Day: 8 Sidney Place, #5
This top-floor co-op at 8 Sidney Place has a nice open, light feel to it that you don’t usually see in smaller townhouse apartments. That has a lot to do lofty-layout and multiple skylights; the private roof deck is an added bonus. The asking price is $525,000 and the monthly maintenance is $615. Sound reasonable?…

Oh, I forgot to include the new tagline:
***Someday bid half off peak taglines!***
Isn’t this block kind of iffy?:
“I don’t like this location, I don’t think it’s safe. that’s all. I don’t see why I should spend my hard-earned money to live somewhere where I can expect to be mugged and robbed. No thank you.” Posted by: Minard Lafever at September 21, 2009 7:19 PM in response to House of the Day: 135 Lafayette Avenue
Hahahahahahah! 😉 (but all kidding aside…aren’t there muggings in Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights???)
Anyway, yes, it would be a LOT of /TOO MANY stairs (for some of us)! Cute place though. Would be a great pied-a-terre kind of place…Oh, well.
Bsquared, Snark – I’d be happy to pass my contractor’s name and contact info. along, but I’d rather not post it. Let me know if you have gmail or similar addresses I can send to.
Snark, haven’t seen you since Sycamore. Any way to talk you into coming to Union Hall on 10/15?
Nomi,
We just calculated the square feet to be around 535 or so. A little more with the bathroom.
That’s close to $1,000 psf.
Interesting. With generous square footage calculation, this comes to about $750/foot, low for Brooklyn Heights, especially for a place with a private roof deck.
The asking price reflects the shortcomings everyone’s mentioned.
I have a soft spot for Sydney Place because my mom lived there in her “youth.” A large studio for $80/month. She was single . . . early 1960s.
Thanks Kens, I’ll pass that along. He was going to use a guy who has done work for a couple of our other friends, but the dude flaked.
Snark, my contractor is/was very reasonable and your friend is welcome to come over to look at his work anytime. Limited English but very good guy and works himself instead of hiring people off the street.

CarrollGardened — Could you share your contractor’s name if you are willing? I have a friend who wants to do a bathroom and kitchen reno.
> Total is 534.5 sf not including the bathroom, closet, etc.
I guess after moving to a large 1br apartment, this place just looks small to me. The skylights and roof deck are very attractive. The fifth floor walk up not so much. I think the lack of a tub and closet shortage will limit the pool of buyers.
