This new listing at 277 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights has a lot to recommend it–2,450 square feet, a huge garden, nice finishes and a great location–but it will probably end up being a tricky sale. First of all, it’s a ground-floor apartment, which carries with it light and privacy issues, and it has an unusual configuration with bedrooms on the lower floor and living space on the upper floor. It’ll be interesting to see if it fetch the asking price of $2,495,000, or more than $1,000 a foot. We’d be surprised but we’ve been wrong before.

Oh, wait, that’s not really a garden level, is it. It’s a full first floor.
“i know Brooklyn is super wonderful, but does gravity not apply?” (Maly)
Hee hee, nice.
“IMO bedrooms should always be on the lower floor — why waste the light on the sleeping areas?” (Boerumresident)
Very much agree. (Though would prefer not to live on garden level at all.)
there is a beautiful two bedroom two bath for sale in the same building and at $975,000 seems to be priced right for the size and neighborhood…
Yes, it’s probably too high an asking price, no? I would rather live here, though, than in the same priced “One Hanson” tower apartments they’re now showing.
It feels very inviting although I don’t quite understand what those pieces of fabric are in the windows. Are they some sort of linen blind? They look like some one just pinned up some fabric.
There are so many doors in the bedroom that opens to the yard…I wonder where you put the furniture!
Trying to figure out the flow based on the floorplan gave me a headache.
Why do they show 2 separate buildings in the photos? Photo #9 is 275 Hicks and photo #10 is 277 Hicks. Have these two addresses been combined in to one coop?
IMO bedrooms should always be on the lower floor — why waste the light on the sleeping areas?
CGar, plus there’s better deals in the hood than this.
If a buyer pays this ASK, I would like sell her/him that nice stone bridge nearby for a sweet sweet price.
It looks like a beautiful apartment to me – nice finishes, looks very light, great deck and garden. And I’m not put off by the first floor at all – I lived in the lower duplex of my house, and it never bothered me.
It’s the price that disqualifies me, not to mention $3,200 in monthly maintenance!! That’s a lot of cabbage on top of what the mortgage on this place would be (for me at least).
