Co-op of the Day: 59 Pineapple Street, #6G
We’re surprised there wasn’t some better staging work done at this new listing at 59 Pineapple Street in Brooklyn Heights. The small one-bedroom sure could have used it. For $340,000 in Brooklyn Heights, no one’s going to expect hugeness, but this place could have put a much better foot forward. (A floorplan would have been…
We’re surprised there wasn’t some better staging work done at this new listing at 59 Pineapple Street in Brooklyn Heights. The small one-bedroom sure could have used it. For $340,000 in Brooklyn Heights, no one’s going to expect hugeness, but this place could have put a much better foot forward. (A floorplan would have been helpful too.) The co-op traded hands back in 2006 for $300,000, so the current asking price can’t be too far off the mark but better not to take any chances!

Yeah — studios and miniature apartments are available in Chicago and Boston etc… BUT they are for renting. You don’t *buy* 300 sq ft. No you don’t.
And you would probably rent a place like this for around the $600 (or not much more) you are paying for the monthly maintenance here.
So, the broker decided to put up a floorplan now? Now, Ms. Broker, what can we do about the pics? (not that better pics will change the fact that this is an overpriced closet)
Tybur — or a tiny apartment for about $180K. But it’s kind of hard ot find apartments this small there.
I’m not sure if there are 300 sq ft broom closets for sale in Chicago….
I agree that I wouldn’t pay $2000 to rent this place, but obviously there are a number of people who will because they want the BH address and are not able to find a R/S apartment that is significantly cheaper. And it is a top floor apartment, so even if it does face a “courtyard” aka airwell it will have some light.
Also, on the plus side, because it is so small, it would probably be less expsnsive to renovate.
There is a floorplan. It really looks like a one-bedroom created from a studio…
In Chicago… $340,000 would get you about 1000 more square feet, a nicer *much* nicer kitchen and so on.
Ugh, it just depresses the hell out of me to look at rooms full of people’s crappy crap!
Studio sold in this building for $270 not long ago. Would estimate $300-315 for this, kind of in between a studio and a 1 bed.
Mistake to take photos with the blinds closed as the light would probably be good as it’s on the 6th floor (and lol @ the little keyboard).
