Co-op of the Day: 150 Joralemon Street, #9A
The light and views are definitely sweet at this new co-op listing at 150 Joralemon in Brooklyn Heights. The living room feels a little skinny though, which makes us think this place would work a lot better as a huge one-bedroom. (Tear down that wall, Mr. Gorbachev!) And with an asking price of $475,000, that…
The light and views are definitely sweet at this new co-op listing at 150 Joralemon in Brooklyn Heights. The living room feels a little skinny though, which makes us think this place would work a lot better as a huge one-bedroom. (Tear down that wall, Mr. Gorbachev!) And with an asking price of $475,000, that might be a real option. Of course, as we’ve seen before with this building, the maintenance is painfully high. In this case, we’re talking $1,411 a month.

I actually think this is a pretty good deal for someone who likes the convenience of living in the Heights in an elevator building.
The building was a very early conversion from offices to residential. That is why the units look a little retro.
No. I can dream. Then I’d wake up and look at the rest of the listings.
jenni: you don’t really expect to find a real two-bedroom two-bath co-op in Brooklyn Heights for $475,000 AND low maintenance do you?
That raised “bedroom” is so weird. There has to be a reason for it, and I don’t want to know what it is. There is no excuse for those stupid cut-outs, though.
Why is the maintenance so high in this building? Is the co-op paying the live-in super’s mortgage? What are the amenities, besides having an elevator and a laundry room (that you are right next to!)?
I keep getting fooled by listings for this building. I see the reasonable price and convenient location, etc., then I click through and see that, dammit it’s that stupid high-maintenance, weird second-bedroom building again.
what is with all those cut outs???
beats me, and could the kitchen be any smaller………
With that maintenance, the monthly out of pocket is roughly equivalent to carrying a $580K mortgage (tack on down payment and we’re talking a $700K unit) with maintenance at $5-600.
For a 1BR plus den or baby room, with no laundry in the unit.
Sounds like a great investment.
a lot of the units in 150 Joralemon have those raised bedrooms — either it’s something with the building or everyone was using the same, insane architect. assume it’s something with the building.
I can’t load streeteasy right now, but there is a smaller and trashed unit for sale in this building on the second floor that I think might be a deal for someone. The maintenance in this bldg is a killer tho.
It’s a spacious 1BR. Knock down partial wall. Intersect new wall into exterior column, south of existing partial wall. Turn 1/2 bath into closet. 1/2 baths are for multiplexes. Knock down maintainence too.

Don’t you love an apartment talks to you in a first person narrative?
“I’m a two bedroom full of amenities at a central Brooklyn Heights location. Since I am on a high floor….”
AND I HATE all those cut outs in the walls.
