Co-op of the Day: 133 8th Avenue, #2CD
Apartment combinations don’t always work layout-wise, but this new listing at 133 8th Avenue looks just swell to us.

Apartment combinations don’t always work layout-wise, but this new listing at 133 8th Avenue looks just swell to us. The four-bedroom pad in this Montrose Morris-design building has a very large living area, the result of two mirror-image living rooms being combined; it’s also got a generous master suite and plenty of extra rooms to stash the kids. Prewar details? Check. Tasteful modern kitchen? Check. The price is $1,495,000, or less than $100,000 per window. You digging it?

Maybe this is my own personal hang-up, but I cannot imagine spending this much money and not getting outdoor space. I think it every single time I see one of these million+ apartments…
Love the kitchen.
I don’t have any problem with the range hood hanging down. Seems high enough to make it comfortable even if people are sitting at the island.
The vent hanging down in the middle of the kitchen is indeed rather unfortunate. The blue cabinets look like Ikea. Not the products they sell, but the exterior of an actual Ikea store.
Square footage ok for the price; not fantastic. Nice having the master separate, but agree that at this price you want real bedrooms with closets. Also, I am I the only one who dislikes the blue cabinets and the funky island sticking out like that..? Second floor in walk-up bldg on 8th. I dont know, for that $$, something about it seems a bit off..
combining apartments to accomodate giants broods is so hoardish and gluttonous.
*rob*
Definitely should have been staged to look better. At least a few nice area rugs would get rid of the bowling alley floors. Would be a nicer floorplan if the smallest bedroom and kitchen areas were swapped. Then the little fourth bedroom would be much bigger and the master suite could have it’s ensuite bath. Of course the 4th bedroom would likely be used as office in current form.
Actually, looking at floor plan more, I agree that small bedrooms with no closets is a negative, and for the kitchen, it’s too bad they didn’t put sink in the island so giant hood didn’t overwhelm the center of the space (would have been better to have a standard hood over oven against a wall).
> BUT two of the bedroooms don’t have closets.
Indeed. At this price point every bedroom should at least have a closet.
> Having one’s mother-in-law at the other end of the apartment: PRICELESS
Having one’s mother-in-law on another continent: EVEN BETTER.
