Co-op of the Day: 19 7th Avenue, #4
This brownstone one-bedroom at 19 7th Avenue just hit the market and, while it’s a little untraditional, there’s something quite cute about it.

This brownstone one-bedroom at 19 7th Avenue just hit the market and, while it’s a little untraditional, there’s something quite cute about it. The top-floor pad is described in the listing as a “garret,” an apt term given the sloping mansard ceilings that result in a portion of the apartment being uninhabitable by an upright grownup human being. Still, the current resident appears to have used this space wisely in what appears to be a recent renovation. You like how it looks? Think it’s worth the $469,000 asking price?

Peter Dinklage is hot.
This apt. makes by back hurt looking at.
Seems nicely renovated. But it’s disingenuous to call a room 8.5 by 18 feet when the entire ceiling is sloped. That’s not a freakin room. Same with whatever large part of the sleeping area is too low for most people to stand in.
I wonder how big the bedroom really is? I also wonder what the real sq footage is (not counting the dwarf areas).
It’s “cute”, yes. But… the kitchen looks like a cheap rental kitchen, the living room is too narrow (put a couch, table and tv, and there’d be almost no room to walk through), and slanted ceilings get old, fast.
I think whoever lives there would constantly be wishing they just had a regular ceilings, but then, they probably couldn’t afford it.
The maint is low, but this place is WAY overpriced. Seriously, it’s a converted attic. And, a pretty small one at that.
I agree w/mopar… I can’t believe this place is legal.
Adorable and would make a wonderful quirky rental for a couple of years. Then the 5th floor walk-up (there are 4 storeys of full-sized windows shown in the exterior photo), the summer heat through the roof and the lack of space would start to drive most people a little crazy. I just can’t seeing buying this at such a high price.
And most of the houses I’ve seen with those dramatically sloping top floor ceilings at least have a full height room in the rear!
Cute little apartment; clever use of what is basically leftover space.
Appalling pricetag.
No matter what, it is still a walk-up attic.
Ok, so judging from the comments here and on other threads, everyone hates the top floor of brownstones and the garden level so you people spend 3 million dollars for the 1-2 floors in between that you’ve deemed livable. Got it now. 😉
The maintenance is low because the apartment is on the attic floor of a walk up. The RE tax for this building is high for the Slope.
And the maintenance is quite reasonable, to say the least. In BH, the maintenance on a place like this would be $800-1,000 a month.
i like it – has a funkiness you typically don’t see in these brownstone co-ops
Very small studios in Park Slope sell routinely (and quickly) when priced around 299K – 350K.
This is not a studio. It’s not a real 1.5 bedroom either, but it is certainly a 1 bedroom and a nice one at that. Even with the area of the ceiling which looks sloped it looks as though the bedroom and office area have some nice usable space with normal height ceiling.
I can totally imagine it being a place that someone falls in love with. In fact, I’ve sent the listing to 2 different people I know who are renting very small 1 bedrooms walkups in Manhattan (both are paying more than $3,000 a month) and both said in a heartbeat that they’re coming to the open house on Sunday.
