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?

As for a studio I wouldn’t call that small. It seems to have a decent amount of living space even with the sloped ceilings.
I really like it. I’m a bit weary of brownstone stairs as being small which limits furniture delivery but I think this apt. is unique and wonderful. A small high table would fit next to the kitchen. Its not a 1.5 bedroom but works well as an alcove studio – 450k-?
Cute place, nice use of space (albeit the only use), but I agree with others that this is essentially a small studio.
In college I drew the short straw and took the room under the eaves or sloped ceiling in an older home I rented my Senior year with 4 other girls. At first it seemed charming, but really it gets old, ducking one’s head constantly and being forced to only stand or walk upright in 30 to 40% of the space.
Nearly half a million bucks for a smallish living space with no dining area seems hefty. Maybe 399 to 415k?
Just a question for those who think it’s overpriced…
Why is an entire floor of a brownstone overpriced at 479K, but the entire 4 story brownstone for over 2 million is not…?
You do realize you’re paying over 500K per floor for most PS brownstones, correct?
It’s a nicely turned out 4th floor walk-up studio–not “1.5 bedroom” or whatever they’re calling it.
The back half of our apartment has a dramatically sloping ceiling like that. Even though they have doors and windows, don’t consider them proper rooms, but good, accessible storage spaces.
I like it (a lot actually). Not 469K much though.

you can have both with #9 on this list.
Creative use of the space no doubt but it’s more like a studio really with that glass divide.
