Co-op of the Day: 115 Willow Street, #6A
This four-bedroom co-op at 115 Willow Street has had a tough time of it on the market despite its prewar vibe, great location and river views. The sixth-floor apartment originally hit the market with Brown Harris Stevens in October 2008 with an aggressive price of $2,500,000; it was ultimately taken off the market in August…
This four-bedroom co-op at 115 Willow Street has had a tough time of it on the market despite its prewar vibe, great location and river views. The sixth-floor apartment originally hit the market with Brown Harris Stevens in October 2008 with an aggressive price of $2,500,000; it was ultimately taken off the market in August 2009 after having failed to sell despite the price having fallen to $1,750,000. It reappeared with Douglas Elliman in April of this year, starting out at $1,995,000. Three price cuts later, it’s now priced at $1,695,000. Frankly, we can’t see what the problem is: These family-sized apartments are hard to come by in The Heights and this price is within reach for some young Wall Street buck with a growing brood. Has anyone toured this place? What’s the snag?

The BQE is right nearby….Brooklyn Heights is only for old people…this is the bad stretch of willow street that attracts the riff-raff….no good hipster bars nearby……a really long shlep to the nearest tattoo parlor.
The bathroom closest to the door appears to be separate from a bedroom.
There doesn’t seem to be a bathroom for guests that can be accessed without going through one of the 4 bedrooms. So I don’t find the layout ideal myself.
I can’t imagine what the problem is. This is super-nice building, the apartment layout is beautiful. Maybe the Brooklyn market is soft?
Boy do I hate vinyl replacement windows, especially when they have the in-between glass grilles.
Probably between 1,500 and 1,600?
I’m guessing 1500 square feet?
What is the sq footage…I hate when the brokers leave it up to you to calc room by room and then still be off…
That maintenance is a killer. With that size and only a part time doorman, it tells me that something is likely amiss with the building’s financials. I live in the Heights in a fairly large place (3 bds, 2 bths) and my maintenance is about half that. While one can work down their mortgage principle over 30 years, you are stuck with your maintenance.
