Co-op of the Day: 32 Willow Place, #9
If you can handle the railroad layout and the fact that there’s only one small bathroom, this two-bedroom co-op at 108 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights if you’re a buyer who puts a premium on old-world charm.

If you can handle the railroad layout and the fact that there’s only one small bathroom, this two-bedroom co-op at 108 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights if you’re a buyer who puts a premium on old-world charm. The master bedroom and hallways have lots of original detail and the kitchen and living area appear to have been recently renovated. Not usually fans of exposed brick, we think it works nicely in this case. The 900-square-foot apartment has a monthly maintenance of $870 and is asking $710,000. You buying?

We called it Willowtown back in the ancient times. Did you grow up here before or after the BQE went in? It’s been called Willowtown post-BQE. Even by locals.
I love how pristine this apartment looks, and it does have some nice charm.
No clue about price, but it seems high. Especially given the walk up situation.
It is a 5th Floor walk-up railroad flat steps from the BQE. It is NOT a $700,000 apartment. Willowtown is perfectly nice. The blocks between Joralemon and State are very nice. But, this is NOT a $700,000 apartment. I’ve recently seen apartments with better layouts in elevator buildings (a 2 bedroom and a real 3 bedroom, both with bigger kitchens, also no doorman) on Pierrepont Street selling in the $700,000 – $800,000 range. $500,000?
Willowtown is a little neighborhood within Brooklyn Heights. It’s not really different than Brooklyn Heights. You would still live in Brooklyn Heights if you live within Willowtown. Like you still live on planet Earth if you live in Brownstone Brooklyn. Presumably.
I grew up here and no one ever–EVER–called it Willowtown.
I think it’s just a cutesy neighborhood association name.
sorry, west side of the street.
Bottom full floor sold for 1.25 down from 2m ask. lower floors have sold for 500-600 per unit. The constant buzz of the BQE is annoying, and a 5th floor walk-up leaves something to be desired. With the new giant 1BBP garage charging low rates, the parking space isn’t worth as much as it was.
This will go lower.
Okay, reading the Willowtown dot org website. It doesn’t mention how it became known as Willowtown. Unless I missed it.
Interesting. I never realized that area was ‘different’ than Brooklyn Heights.
Lot’s of stange old timers live in Willowtown. Speaking of which, is that where Norman Mailer lived?
I looked at an apartment in one of those modern buildings on the east side of the street that was built before landmarking. Those are kind of cool, actually.
