Co-op of the Day: 128 Willow Street
You can go check out the open house at this Willow Street one-bedroom this weekend…as long as you’re not a broker. The location is killer and the fourth-floor apartment has nice prewar details that appear to be in good shape. The kitchen is so-so but the bathroom is a classic. That said this is not…

You can go check out the open house at this Willow Street one-bedroom this weekend…as long as you’re not a broker. The location is killer and the fourth-floor apartment has nice prewar details that appear to be in good shape. The kitchen is so-so but the bathroom is a classic. That said this is not a huge place no place to stash a toddler here. How does the asking price of $468,000 strike you?

Demolish that pointless kitchen wall and install a seated counter. Charming place.
Look carefully. The window “bars” are the railings on the fire escape, as viewed through the divided light window.
I hope the comment about the bars on the windows was a joke, right? Anyway, looks like a nice place but considering it’s a co-op and has such a high maintenance it should be priced a bit lower. They didn’t mention sqft but it doesn’t look terribly big.
a little pricey but nice
The box under the window is a left over from the days before refrigeration. Apartments used to have these boxes for cool storage for potatoes, etc.
It’s a nice small apartment with a large maintenance. Check the building’s financials, some buildings converted in the 80’s and after have huge underlying mortgages. Couple this with assessments for repairs to the facade and roof and you’re talking hefty carrying costs for one bedroom. Most of the coops in Brooklyn Heights have high maintenances though. It keeps the sale prices down -or it should. The box under the window is for cold storage of vegetables (in the winter) they are ubiquitous in most 1900-1930 NYC apartments.
the box under the kitchen window is the fuse box.
and it says apt #4D….guess which floor it is on?
Look at the kitchen pic…any guesses what that ‘box’ opening is under the window?
those arent bars…they’re divided light windows. look original too.
