This studio at 177 Columbia Heights in Brooklyn Heights has a couple of things really going for it: Location and those windows! On the other hand, some of the numbers might be working against it: Monthly maintenance of $799 (for a 400-square-foot apartment) and an asking price of $375,000. A little too rich for our blood, even if it is “Paris in New York,” as the listing claims.

$799 maintenance? C’est domage.
are those functional balconies on the front, or more like a fancy fire escape/juliette balcony hybrid?
This building could be one of the loveliest in the area but it is a wreck. The facade is literally being held up by timbers. Seems fraught.
It’s lovely, but it’s also $2659 with mortgage and maintenance.
You could rent this for $1800.
I think the bought this unit in the low 200s last year. It looked like a good deal then, not now. They did add a crappy looking ikea kitchen so I’d take off 500 to get rid of that.
I do love the look of this place.
One major thing is that they have a beautiful facade that was recently (years ago) uncovered and they have to deal with. It will cost over 100k to restore. Maybe double that. Maybe triple that. Who the hell knows. I know they have been offered loans from Landmarks (?) but a loan is a loan and it’s a lot of money for a small apartment building. But they may be forced to restore. It’s a major issue.
Sweet little pad.
If this could rent for $2000/month, $375K not such a stretch. Live here durring week and have a weekend place in country.
That is a very pretty little place on a beautiful quiet street, on the street closest to the Promenade. That being said, it is a pretty tiny studio and a pretty rich maintenance for the size of the place.
really nice
