Co-op of the Day: 11 Schermerhorn Street, #6WB
It’s hard to find a real prewar three-bedroom in Brooklyn Heights for under $1.5 million that’s not on a low floor in the back of the building.

It’s hard to find a real prewar three-bedroom in Brooklyn Heights for under $1.5 million that’s not on a low floor in the back of the building. This one that just hit the market at 11 Schermerhorn Street in Brooklyn Heights however seems pretty reasonable at $1,400,000. It’s on a high floor, has three real bedrooms and plenty of prewar detail. The only real downer is the kitchen, which is small for a pad like this and looks like it hasn’t been updated in a while. Another plus: The maintenance is only $1,363. Should go fast, no?

This has been on the market for a while. Is it zoned for PS 8?
No W/D allowed in the unit. But! Pet-friendly! They giveth and they taketh away.
The kitchen may not be my taste, but it totally livable. Good location. (Personally, I like the convenience of this part of Brooklyn Heights because you are close to Borough Hall trains and all of your errand stuff, but adjacent neighborhoods feel easily accessible on foot.)
no w/d is a drag. Many pre-war co-ops have that rule. They should figure out a way to allow it. Many people in Manhattan and in Brooklyn Heights have weekly laundry pick-up and delivery service, but still and all it is nice to have one’s own w/d.
Agree with Minard and mopar on the kitchen. Easy enough to redo nicely at not a huge cost. Bigger issue for me, as 718gal said, would be lack of W/D, especially with kids.
some people put too much emphasis on kitchens. It is one of the least important factors when deciding to buy a co-op IMO. In fact, I am wary of places with over-the-top kitchens as they feel they need to over ask.
Oh, the kitchen isn’t that bad, and it’s priced so you can redo it.
Doesn’t allow a W/D in the apartment, which can be a dealbreaker for most people looking for a 3 bedroom with kids (myself included).
kitchen tragedy!
Beautiful, but I agree, aggressive price tag. Anyone know of a good comp?
