Co-op of the Day: 2 Grace Court, #4T
We love the building and location, but some of the usual charm of 2 Grace Court in Brooklyn Heights seems to have been lost in the recent renovation. Of course, it could just be the kitchen tiles and generic interior decoration—both of which are easily fixable—that we’re reacting to, plus we’re a little weird in…
We love the building and location, but some of the usual charm of 2 Grace Court in Brooklyn Heights seems to have been lost in the recent renovation. Of course, it could just be the kitchen tiles and generic interior decoration—both of which are easily fixable—that we’re reacting to, plus we’re a little weird in that we don’t like prewar walls to look too smooth and finished. After all, the parquet floors are still intact and it’s a nicely laid-out one-bedroom. And for a full-service doorman building, the monthly maintenance of $646 is a great deal. The asking price is now $499,000, down $26,000 from when it hit the market in May. What say ye?

I have visited this apartment and think it is adorable!
As a fan of cooking, this kitchen is great and large enough to accommodate the kitchen dance.(That means a bunch of people being in the kitchen, cooking/ cleaning/ hanging out.) If you were to actually go to this apartment, you would see that there’s a reasonable enough space for anyone interested in a true one bedroom. Reasonable in this and similarly priced neighborhoods. (Bunk beds? Get real.)
About the BQE, you would never know it’s there unless you google map the address. You can’t hear it from the apartment or see it unless you’re enjoying the kick-ass roof deck, but even then you couldn’t call it a nuisance. Speaking of the roof deck… It’s awesome.
I also appreciate a clean, freshly painted wall. 🙂
PS Did you realize you posted the same things 2 and 3 times? Seriously, it wasn’t such a great post that it needed to be repeated. Now who’s really clueless?
For me, the feel of the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood is like no other. It has a specialness difficult to describe, and atmosphere is an inadequate word. Spending some time there would probably dispel the notion of Manhattan wannabe.
As for 135 Willow St, mentioned above, I’ve been in a couple of apartments that were quite nice. 135 was built before Bk Hts was named a National Historic Landmark in 1965 (?). Photos by Berenice Abbott are available on Google of what Willow Street looked like before 135 was built.
still overpriced @499k… it will sell for around 60k less.
Leave it to BHS to once again over price everything on the market.
Now please~take a look at that SMALL bedroom…WOW!?
Did someone say BUNKBEDS?
Great block and building but where is it located on the noisy BQE side or dark courtyard?
Funny that the clueless broker at BHS already has an open house scheduled for December 19….???? Go figure!

Very nice neighborhood and building. The apartment is ready to move in and looks very nice. This is a steal at that price.
I have a friend who lives in this building. The place is really well maintained and the block is so peaceful. I haven’t been to this apartment, but the pics look nice.
ewwww. what a horrible apartment. Not enough windows, and not in the right places. And the photographs don’t do it any favors. Makes it look like the ceiling is about 6 feet high.
