Co-op of the Day: 39 Remsen Street, #2A
It’s gonna be hard to find a more charming one-bedroom than this second-floor co-op at 39 Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights. And if it weren’t for the Ikea kitchen (whichwe don’t generally have a problem with but doesn’t really work with this space), we wouldn’t think the price of $549,000 was out of line. With…

With the kitchen, though not so sure. What do you think?

It is entry level for that neighborhood, whether you like it or not. Whoever buys this place probably makes 175-200K, and has been saving and banking his/her bonuses for the last 3 or 4 years. Either that or he/she is downsizing post break-up and has more cash for a downpayment.
Brooklyn Heights has been relatively expensive for a long time.
Well, you know, Brooklyn Heights, no giant drug busts lately, no photos of confiscated glocks and automatic weapons…boring area, unhip.
Sorry.
lol @ 550k = entry level

It’s a coop…a good portion of that maintenance represents RE taxes.
I also think that, at $549k, this is entry level and people there don’t have a lot of extra money to redo kitchens. It was poor planning on the part of whoever did it. They should not get their “renovation” return on that money spent.
What a pretty place! I agree with kitchen comments, the layout and the finish choices are a bit unfortunate. The maintenance is a bit high, but not out of line for BH, whereproperty taxes tend to run high.
Ditto donatella’s discussion.
