Co-op of the Day: 59 Montgomery Place, #3
This co-op at 59 Montgomery Place in Park Slope used to be a two-bedroom but recently underwent a renovation that turned it into a spacious one bedroom. In addition to the location (park block!), the floor-though pad has lots of charming original architectural detail to recommend it. Fitting a kitchen into these townhouse conversions is…

Fitting a kitchen into these townhouse conversions is always a tricky business, but it looks like this one works fairly well.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Not enough space, and those hacked up kitchen walls and raised tile floor are hideous. Expert is right, have wood floors. Better yet, don’t have an open kitchen. Who wants to see it? It doesn’t fit here.
“sudden tile”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I truly hate that look in an open layout. Wood floor and then a patch of tile and ugly tile at that.
Better way to handle this is to have wood floor through out. YES, in the kitchen area.
It’s nice and airy with good details. Such a bad kitchen though. From the color of the cabinets which don’t match the woodwoork (would have even matched better if they were white) to what I like to call “sudden tile”. One sees it a lot in the suburbs. You’re walking along and then bam, there’s suddenly tile then suddenly carpet then suddenly wood floors. If one is going to put in sudden-tile please use a color that blends seamlessly as possible with the color of the other flooring.
Nice place. The kitchen is oddly located but nice none the same.
I could be mistaken but this looks like an apartment we looked at on Montgomery (either in 51, 55 or 59) back in 1996. back then it was two apts, a front small 1BR and a rear studio with the deck, both unrenovated, being marketed together for combination. We didn’t go for it. We decided we didn’t have the stomach or funds for a renovation. Little did we know what would be in store for us a few years down the road. If this is the combined version of what we saw, it gained less equity than I would have expected, and we did better with the co-op we ultimately bought. But again, I am not sure this is the one we saw.
Nice deck!
Why such a large fridge? An 18 sq foot should be plently for whoever lives in a one bedroom and it would fit better. Maintenance runs about $1/sq foot, imagine taxes are high.
