Co-op of the Day: 138 Remsen Street, #2B
This second-floor co-op at 138 Remsen Street may have a slightly odd layout but it makes up for it with a great feel, including 14-foot ceilings and lots of original details. The FSBO listing clocks in at 1,000 square feet and comes with a reasonable monthly maintenance of $825. The asking price? $729,000. Sound about…

Wondering how the seller was able to list this on streeteasy. I tried a few months back with my own “for Sale by Owner” and was told that streeteasy only allows real estate professionals to list “for sale” properties. Rentals by owner were ok to be listed at that point, but not FSBO.
Just looking thru the pictures and floor plan again. The front portion of this apt. is going to be quite dark. The front portion, meaning everything from the living back. It’s only windowed on one short side of the four sides of the space with the exception of the one window in the “child’s room.” The livingroom, kitchen, foyer and bathroom are competely windowless, and the dining room depends on the light from the only well lit room, the back bedroom (assuming that’s the back because there are no bay windows in the photo of the front). Even if that’s a southern exposure, which I sure hope it is, that’s asking way too much of one short southern exposure.
It’s got lovely space in some ways, but really this is an ill conceived layout. And why would not the kitchen wall be windowed? Is that not an exterior wall? Ahhh, maybe too much late-night scrutiny on my part . . . . Cannot figure out how I would do it better considering this lack of windows.
Commit blogicide. Luckily, there is definitely life after blogicide; one can be resurrected with more certainty than with the other icide.
11217–add my voice to the calls for you not to commit blogicide. I like having you here and you do provide great info and are just an all around good poster here.
Never mind our internecine struggles, I love the curtains in this apartment. That light in the laundry adds a nice touch too. Very nice decorating all around.
legion, you’re very generous, I wouldn’t give up either wim wenders or solitude, never know when a house-guest may have sticky fingers.
I want a new slim leather Italian made address book really bad. Can I have that for doing nothing at all?
ok 11217,
here’s what I can offer you for going to the next PLUSA gathering;
-a motion activated flood light with 120 degrees of
detection capability
-an unopened DVD copy of Wim Wenders masterpiece;
Wings of Desire (I have my own copy, this was an extra)
-a new slim leather Italian made address book
or
-a paperback copy of One Hundred Years of Solitude,
I always buy extras when I see them in book stores or
yard sales.
consider the options and let me know.
the others will tell you that I am good for my word.
That’s nice to hear, fawn. The photos make it feel nice –airy — given the funny layout, but can be hard to tell from photos.
