Co-op of the Day: 65 Montague Street, #A1
This Corcoran listing at 65 Montague Street just popped up in the Marketplace. While clearly the ground-floor status doesn’t help the sales effort, the parquet and other original details combined with the Brooklyn Heights location are big positives. The chance to get a 1,000-square-foot two-bedroom co-op around here for $639,500 will probably be interesting to…

Open floor plans aren’t new. They’ve been building them in houses since the 70s.
This is a very standard layout for late 1930s apartments. Jackson Heights is riddled with them.
“I don’t know what people are going to do with all those open-plan kitchens when the fad passes and suddenly New Yorkers all say: I don’t want to look at a friggin’ kitchen in my living room!”
God, I hope the “fad” passes soon, but it’s been with us for 40 years.
chop .. not cop
I am with minmin. It is a one bedroom. You can cop things up anyway you like but this is not gracious living (as a former in-law once said)….
right, everybody used to love sunken living rooms too, and then there was the wet bar trend, and then built-in booths.
Things have their time and then they become passe. I already think open plan kitchens are passe.
I just don’t want to think about food or kitchen messes when I get home from work. If I give a party, the caterers will need to make do with a separate kitchen somewhere where I can’t see it.
Count me in as one of those people that loves open floor plan kitchens. Every time I have people over the first place they sit as at the counter. You can actually have a conversation with people while you’re still doing stuff in the kitchen too.
Junior 4. It is a 1-bedroom. Really odd boxy layout.
It’s been awhile, but I think the foyer is too tight for a table. I mean, YOU COULD, but your back would be at the door. And if you have a stroller and shoes and coats in there, yuck. Too tight. It’s nice to have that space tho for all those things. Nothing worse than the stroller ending up in the living room…
