Co-op of the Day: 126 Greene Avenue, #2W
We’ve walked by 126 Greene Avenue (at Clinton) a zillion times but never seen the interior of an apartment there. Until now. Corcoran has a new listing up for a two-bedroom apartment at the 19-unit prewar building and it looks to be a beauty. The second-floor pad has high ceilings and lots of original detail….

We’ve walked by 126 Greene Avenue (at Clinton) a zillion times but never seen the interior of an apartment there. Until now. Corcoran has a new listing up for a two-bedroom apartment at the 19-unit prewar building and it looks to be a beauty. The second-floor pad has high ceilings and lots of original detail. The location and finish choices of the kitchen are the only things that don’t get us jazzed. The maintenance on the 1,000-square-foot apartment is a low $662 per month. Given all that, what do you make of the asking price of $599,000?

Nice. I like the flexible layout of the living room and the 2 adjacent rooms, though I’m single and looking for a 2nd bedroom for guests only. I’d prefer a 2nd bathroom, but not a deal-breaker. I would re-do the kitchen counters and backsplash, but from the pictures the cabinets look fine. I think it’s priced well, too.
Lol, delepp. Not to mention a short walk to the bedroom if he hits the cooking sherry a bit too hard.
I like that the kitchen is a away from dining room. Gives the cook some space and alone time when cooking for a dinner party.
not feelin’ only 1 bath, and especially the layout. I’d wanna blow out the master b/r, make it into the dining room, then you’d have to add closets. And by that time you’ve spent way too much. Looks nice o/w, altho I got the same 1970s dirty brick vibe that rob got.
TD–you’re right. I misread. 🙁 I really like this place.
RE: location. He means the location of the kitchen… i’m assuming in regard to its distance from the dining and living rooms.
Huh–rintintin–didn’t notice that in the original posting. Don’t know what Mr B is referencing there. Perhaps the corner location? Overall its hard to argue with it in terms of being close to transport and close to DeKalb strip for amenities. Maybe he doesn’t like the fact that it is across from the Co-ops, or just doesn’t like being on a reasonably busy intersection.
Mr B, care to weigh in on what you don’t like about location?
Wasder–Brownstoner says in their description that the location doesn’t get them “jazzed.” Is it because it’s apartment buildings rather than brownstones?
Lovely place, shame the fireplaces are only decorative, maybe they can work on that.
