Someone put a lot of time and thought into the renovation of this four-bedroom co-op at 205 Hicks Street and overall it’s pretty successful, we think, though the extent to which it is designed to a particular taste may make it harder to find the right buyer. Still, this is a big apartment in a prewar building in Brooklyn Heights with a relatively modest maintenance of $1,573 so it should attract some attention. If it weren’t for the apartment being on a low floor we’d be pretty bullish on the asking price of $1,695,000. Still, worth a shot.

I might try to go see this to figure out where the treadmill is… I don’t think it’s a bad job, I just don’t understand why there’s a wall between the dining room and living room and the purpose of the study – I would have included that space in the master bedroom.
Superb wall hanging
Is that the only change, Minard? Or was the kitchen somewhere else?
this was always one apartment. the space that is now the study used to be the maids room. the layout is perfectly nice, especially compared to the typical up and down brownstone.
Huh, interesting. “Taste specific,” I guess, yes. But I think it works, the decor, I mean. Not what I’d do, but I think they pull it off.
Totally agree that calling this a four-bedroom is…..well, to put it another way, there would be fewer annoyed comments if they just called it a three-bedroom plus, or whatever. I actually think that space would be best just open, a foyer…
Definitely an awkward layout, though. Is it two apts combined?
Oh, wait, there’s no door on that “bedroom/study” huh? So, it’s halfway to a foyer already. But too jammed. I don’t know….could feel like enough space; the living room and dining room are a decent amount of space and I don’t mind the skinny kitchen since the dining room’s right there…..but still there’s an awkwardness to the whole place. That one “public” bathroom being by the front door….well, it is near one of the bedrooms at least. Eh, I don’t know. I grew up in a four-bedroom house with one bathroom on the second floor. Never thought about it. But those were the olden days….
fsrq, i went back to look at floorplan again, because I could have misread it, but I still like it. It is a true three-bedroom and study apartment with a dining room and a living room. The little study could perhaps be made into a nursery as you suggest, but it works really well as a home office/study.
The placement of the front door is odd, as it often is in these early pre-wars but I think they handled it very well. The apartment looks cheerful and spacious upon entering -based on the photo.
I’m not crazy about the orange and red stripes but that’s just a window blind, I think.
Minard – because it has a kitchen that is 6.5′ wide, a “bedroom” that is 7′ wide (at its widest point), and where the 2nd bathroom is by the front door.
All this space efficiency is great if you are in a 500sq ft studio but doing it so you can claim a “4 br” is iMHO a hack job.
This is a gorgeous 2br w/ a nursery.
fsrg +1 – .5
fsrq, why do you think this is “a hack job of the worst order”?
I think it is not just your arithmetic that is a bit off today.
