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?

no longer comparable to use coop duplex in brownstones – per the recent forum posts and comments in other threads that financing for coop bldgs with less than 5 units are mission impossible
This is in PS 321, and there’s more useable space than in, say, the usual brownstone duplex. The building is architecturally notable and absolutely gorgeous. Second floor on 8th Ave is not ideal, but I don’t think there’s a big issue with noise at night — mainly only during rush hour, when cars get backed up waiting to turn onto Flatbush. (And this is a pretty good distance off Flatbush as well.) Convenient enough to the express subways and a block off the park. I wouldn’t be shocked to see this go close to ask, but I think it’s more likely to go for somewhere between $1.3 and $1.4.
That is the longest apt I have ever seen. You could play a wedge from one end to the other. And maintenance? Ouch.
“would Mr Slims be a material improvement?”
Only in your design manual.
Having one’s mother-in-law at the other end of the apartment: PRICELESS
Shouldn’t the “his” be a floor length urinal, perhaps salvaged from an beautiful old hotel bar.
And yes, this was listed before but I can’t remember for how much.
ooh, didn’t realize its on 8th Ave. A friend lived there and HATED it b/c of the noise. So $1.5 for a noisy, walkup, charmless, pricey, chopped looking, blah kitchen, with neighbors above and below.
Textpert, would Mr Slims be a material improvement?
Having one’s spouse at the other end of the apartment should add $500K to the price.
