Co-op of the Day: Northside Old School
How refreshing to see an apartment for sale in Williamsburg that wasn’t built in the last three years! This place won’t appeal to the same market that the new developments in the hood will, but perhaps that’s an advantage. While the building’s facade won’t win any charm contests, we think the 800-square-foot apartment itself has…
How refreshing to see an apartment for sale in Williamsburg that wasn’t built in the last three years! This place won’t appeal to the same market that the new developments in the hood will, but perhaps that’s an advantage. While the building’s facade won’t win any charm contests, we think the 800-square-foot apartment itself has quite a bit of character in a flea-market-chic kinda way. The old floors, high ceilings and moldings around the windows are working for us. As a kicker, the apartment has private roof rights and comes with plans for a 300-square-foot addition. Pretty cool. What do you think about the $489,000 asking price? (The building at left in the new photo is one reader’s best guess of building’s true identity: 158 Grand Street.)

a real new york apartment! price is a little high, though…
Its actually a very nice looking building, except for the pebbled first floor (former storefront, I’d guess). James is right, that’s kind of atrocious.
It also looks (from the outside) as though it has large windows and ample floor heights.
The left building in the photo is in fact the building in question. I viewed this coop a couple of months ago and completely agree with post. Very charming, has country-house vibe to it with old fashioned deep sink, distinctive white stained flooring, great furniture and bookcase. Difficult room layout makes for one really nice room with some darker interior space.
The potential addition that the owner mentioned to me does not seem viable. It builds into part of the common hallway of the building, which technically comes with the apartment. This would substantially change the hallway and may require approval of neighbors
The facade of the building is awful — “pebbled wall” — but the coop is indeed really charming. In a non-broker sense of the word.

these places seem like such bargains compared to the overprices soulless cookie-cutter “luxury” condos all over northside. And by luxury they mean “has front door and windows”.
More old school williamsburg!

The roof view is definitely Grand Street. Based on the roof view, it looks like it is 158 Grand (two doors in from Bedford (between the new building and the larger tenement building)).
The building shown in the photo above is Bedford, definitely not on Grand – I guess Brownstoner pulled it from PShark (the exterior photo does not show up on the Craigslist or Apts&Lofts ad).
171 bedford ave is the address of the aptsandlofts office, not of the coop.
based on the roof view, it looks like it may be on grand st.
interesting. no idea. anyone close enough to take a current photo of the facade?
