Co-op of the Day: 174 Pacific Street, #4A
Old schools often look like great places to live from the outside, with their large windows and high ceilings, but their conversion can also result in some awkward division of space. This top-floor two-bedroom at 174 Pacific Street is a case in point. Beautiful building, unusual apartment configuration. It’s not necessarily bad, but it’s unlikely…
Old schools often look like great places to live from the outside, with their large windows and high ceilings, but their conversion can also result in some awkward division of space. This top-floor two-bedroom at 174 Pacific Street is a case in point. Beautiful building, unusual apartment configuration. It’s not necessarily bad, but it’s unlikely to appeal to everyone, with the raised living room, home office on the landing and gambrel roof. On the other hand, there’s plenty of good stuff too: Lots of space, new(ish) fixtures and appliances, exposed brick and skylights. The asking price is $1,350,000. What do you make of it?

meanwhile, I wouldn’t consider paying 1.35mm for this.
The deal breaker for me are the steps to the raised living room. I hate that. The tower rooms on the other hand would be great.
There’s a little hallway/landing (which you have to go back down the steps for) outside the master where the bathroom is. Looks like the two lofts are stacked one on top of the other coming out of the dining room, and when you factor in the six or so feet you lose from having the stairs/ladder on either side, the bottom-level loft is that photo we see of the miniature office area.
Those angled doors/openings are too much like something out of a Roger Moore-era Bond movie for me.
According to the floor plan, the master has two en suite bathrooms and the rest of the place has none.
Or am I missing something?
Got it.
I don’t like sun coming down on me from a 10-2 position. It’s hard for me to read by that light or work in that light or watch tv. I imagine trying to watch TV in that living room and if I was watching a day game it would be bad. It almost gives me a migraine.
I really like light tho. Give me a wall of windows. Just nothing above my head.
Ringo, do you hate how skylights look, or something about the way they let in light? Or something else? Just curious.
I hate skylights, but I know I’m in the minority. But I do love the tower rooms even tho I can’t tell what’s going on with the floorplan.
Those skylights, that molding, that floor stain, the banisters .. all has an 80s feeling to me. But it’s a lot of space for a family of 3 or 4. It’s the opposite of an open floor plan, isn’t it. I like that. I don’t mind if people in my home want to watch Nick Jr, I just like to have a place that’s big enough and with enough rooms to walk away.
Like this place lots, plus it has parking and an elevator for the achy knees(NH).
