Co-op of the Day: 55 Pineapple Street, #3D
This co-op at 55 Pineapple Street in Brooklyn Heights just hit the market asking $499,000. It seems like a nice, solid one-bedroom: Good-sized living room and bedroom, attractive if not spectacular prewar vibe; there’s an elevator but no doorman. The monthly maintenance is $973, maybe a tad high but not crazy. What do you think…

Seems like a large dining area for a easy bake oven. Since only 40% is deductible that leaves about $600 for repairs, heat, water and sewer. Seems high.
Personally I don’t understand a high rise that charges maintenance and does not have a 24 hour doorman. Seems very “Brooklyn” to me and not in a good way. Kinda like so many japanese restaurants in brooklyn that don’t carry Toro. They’d shut down in manhattan without Toro.
Decent size, nice closet space, short walk to the promenade. Maintenance is a bit high for a building with no doorman, though.
Cute place with nice space, however that kitchen is blah and I would totally renovate it and open up a wall and but in an island
maintenace is high as well, but the area is great
In what delusional world is $1000 a month maintenance for a 1 bedroom with no doorman considered “a tad high, but not crazy?”
dh, the only thing really tacky is formally entetaining guests on the garden level when you have a parlour floor, ala shillstoner.
Kitchen is kinda small with no counter space – i suppose one could open it up onto the dining room and put an island or something – or is that tacky?
Looking at the floorplan agian, it can’t be incorporated into any room. Maybe open up the kitchen more?
That dining space/entry hall seems like a big amount of wasted space. Incorporate it into a larrger living room/dining room combination. The bedroom is large.
