Co-op of the Day: 125 Eastern Parkway, #5D

Actually, I was thinking this may have been a three originally. This clearly wasn’t the original floorplan. Though not really a 3-bdrm, as I think most apartments of this size built then did have a formal dining room. But the dining room was likely a room with walls and doors – likely french or wood pocket doors – that could be used for whatever purpose one wanted. Likewise the living room – may have actually been doored off originally, too.
Personally, I like having a dining room, though I know people with families are often happy to make it into a bedroom. Reminds me of my poor college apartments, where we always made the dining room into the living room (kitchens were large enough for a table), and hung a curtain to make the living room a bedroom.
So now, I really like having an actual dining room. And I like having kitchens open to them so I can chat with guests while cooking (though I hate the ubiquitous counter with stools thing that seems to be mandatory in both renovations and new construction today.)
You could convert this to a 3-br relatively easily, I think. Just reconfigure the kichen island a little bit and wall off 12 feet of the dining area to make a 12×12 br.
How strange. I was looking at the floor plan thinking too bad the dining room doesn’t have windows because then they’d have a great southern exposure. Then I look at the photos and there ARE windows in the dining room….hmmm. Well, if all is as it appears, then this apt. has fabulous light and a lot else going for it.
Sweet pad. Great layout.
6 to a loo

Thanks. I now have the song ‘Skip To My Lou’ stuck in my head.

calling, benson!! benson, are you there?
That is a terrific floor plan, two exposures and a nice big living dining area. Shame it’s only a half bath, but I grew up with 6 to a loo so beats my expectations.
