Co-op of the Day: 140 Eighth Avenue, #5L
This new two-bedroom listing at 140 Eighth Avenue in Park Slope has a nice prewar vibe (in an Art Deco kind of way), good natural light and a recently renovated kitchen to recommend it. Shortcomings include a small second bedroom and no second bathroom (as this floorplan shows). And at $1,248, the monthly maintenance isn’t…
This new two-bedroom listing at 140 Eighth Avenue in Park Slope has a nice prewar vibe (in an Art Deco kind of way), good natural light and a recently renovated kitchen to recommend it. Shortcomings include a small second bedroom and no second bathroom (as this floorplan shows). And at $1,248, the monthly maintenance isn’t cheap. Asking price of $735,000 isn’t too bad for two bedrooms of this quality in this location though. What do you think this’ll end up going for?

Actually, higher ceilings give you a feeling of a bigger, less confining, space. Thats why they are used as a slling point..
One Q – is that 2nd bedrrom a true bedroom, or was there a dining area in the kitchen that we covereted to form the 2nd bedroom? I am thinking possibly the latter…
“98% of humans are under 6 feet tall, so not sure so many are especially bothered by this. :)”
Which was my point. In the end all extra high ceilings really give you is give you extra high utility bills.
98% of humans are under 6 feet tall, so not sure so many are especially bothered by this. 🙂
nomi, your tradeoff for that low 8 feet ceiling is decent exercise and toned muscles.
Hm, I’m on the top floor of a brownstone, and the ceilings are barely 8 feet. But you could be correct for apt. buildings.
nyguy and nomi, 8 feet for post war maybe, but any prewar I/friends rented in had at least 9 feet and not parlour floor.
Right, nine is on the high side, though not comparable to some parlor floor 11 foot ceilings, of course.
“”High 9 foot ceilings” In comparison to what? Floor 8 1/2 in “Being John Malkovich”?”
Standard ceiling height is around 8′.
Seems in line for location. And a nice unmutilated apartment.
