Co-op of the Day: 220 Columbia Heights, #5
This two-bedroom co-op at 220 Columbia Heights in Brooklyn Heights is crazy, as in crazy awesome! The woodwork, the plaster ceilings, the views, the massive roof garden, the oval foyer—they all rock. For an 1,800-square-foot apartment the monthly maintenance of $1,556 is quite reasonable. How about the asking price of $2,125,000? It’s got enough one-of-a-kind…

Nomi — are you effing kidding?! Of course rich people are fucking fair game! Rich people are rich and comfortable and want for very little or nothing… Go buy yerself a designer collar for your shitzudoodle and suck on it.
Why would I make a joke about gay, black and poor folks? My joke construct wouldn’t even work… “I’ll break their kneecaps because they shouldn’t be poor and pain free.” That’s not funny. It would be horrible to be poor and suffering from chronic pain… HOWEVER, chronic pain and a $2.4 million pied-a-terre… much less horrible.
Yeah, that was my point about the upstairs bedroom — more like a den. Especially with the open stairs leading up to it. Could be renovated, I guess, but might be awkward. Anyway, that’s why I said it’s NOT the master bedroom.
It’s a “jzj” sound like the j in “Jacques” or “Zsa Zsa Gabor”.
Views and outdoor space are gorgeous, and will sell the place. But I am not sure there are that many willing to drop over $2Million to walk up 4 flights every day. (rich folks usually like elevators!) I know I wouldn’t. Also, the layout is less than ideal – the one real bedroom is strangely placed right off the kitchen. The upstairs is more of a den than anything else.
just for the record, in the northeast it is usually pronounced: “LOW-jia”, although in this case it is really more of a rooftop pavilion.
This is a very dramatic apartment. A trophy pad.
I like the kitchen. Get out of my legoggia!!
Yeah, of course it was a “joke”. Yes, it hit a nerve. Rich people hit a nerve with YOU and somehow they are fair game. You’d never joke about poor, black or gay people that way, would you?
Snappy, you’re paying for the views and the location. No one expects you to be actually *comfortable* in an apartment like this. You show off your awesome views and have your caterer prepare the food in *their* workable kitchen. 🙂
Yes, tybur, on both points.
