Co-op of the Day: 39 Plaza Street West, #11C

The asking price of $670,000 doesn’t seem unreasonable either. Tap that!

I once lived in the building. Apartment 11C has great views. We used to watch New Year’s Eve fireworks in Prospect Park from that apartment. The kitchen is cozy with a European (old school) aesthetic and worked well for the former owner.
The building itself has major problems with antiquated plumbing, electrical and on-going water damage. It was like living in the mid-20th century in many ways. Although it is “full service” there were often problems with the staff such as prostitutes in the mailroom in the middle of the night to mention just one.
I actually think this kitchen is workable, at least a small table can fit in there, and like another posted said about losing the island for a couch, I agree.
I think the galley kitchen would feel better in life than in the photo. The photo exaggerates the length which makes it look a little oppressive.
I like cooking in galley kitchens best. Are very easy – few steps, sometimes none, between sink and appliances. Works well unless you need to have a lot of people in the kitchen at once. This one, with doors on each side and an attached eat-in space (which can be used for eating, but alternatively for more kitchen storage and workspace – had one like it once, only without a window on the eating end, and never ate there, because I like light, but did use it as kitchen workspace) accomodates more than one cook easily.
Probably needs some renovation, but an easy kitchen to redo to your taste.
It looks as if one can see the Brooklyn Public Library from the kitchen window where the table goes. Maybe the GAP Arch too. There ought to be good views from liv rm as well. Light is maximized for reasons mopar described, open doors, windows, entryway, etc. I agree with mopar.
The kitchen photo might look more inviting with a personal touch, such as dishes or a flower vase.
Heather, I’m really not a big fan of monstrous kitchens with center islands that could host a cooking school. Still, THAT galley kitchen is really depressing to me. It seems very industrial.
It’s you. I predict a return to galley kitchens when people realize they could be using their kitchen island square footage for something useful. Like a couch.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I would find it pretty depressing to cook in that kitchen … but maybe that’s just me.
Nice.
