Co-op of the Day: 11 Monroe Place
Despite a blue-chip location and a charming exterior, this two-bedroom, garden-level co-op at 11 Monroe Place in Brooklyn Heights is leaving us a little limp. Maybe we’re nitpicking, but when renovating an apartment in this price range (asking price is $1,175,000), why not spring for some nicer doors? These look a little cheap to us…

Maybe we’re nitpicking, but when renovating an apartment in this price range (asking price is $1,175,000), why not spring for some nicer doors? These look a little cheap to us and only underline the suburban “new traditional” vibe that seems like a waste in a place where a more characterful renovation would likely be appreciated and rewarded by buyers. Did we just get up on the wrong side of bed or do others have a similar reaction?

We have no doors in our house…just the front doors and a couple of other incidental doors for security…we took all the interior doors out to allow chi to move around freely. Much better this way…oh…we DO have doors on the kitchen cabinets.
6:14,
That was racist!
those doors i don’t care about… i’ll have a hard enough time trying to figure out which midget friend can sleep in that second
bedroom off the kitchen.
You guys are crazy with the 6 panel door fury. You can’t tell from a photo what material it is and if it is solid core. So enough.
My doors are 18K gold with rubies.
But I paint them white and they look pretty cheap.
my doors are made of 18K gold.
just because the doors are painted white doesn’t mean they are the cheap ones at Home Depot…i have solid wood doors, a few hundred bucks a piece, which are painted white.
1:19 PM please let me know what your smoking? I know this section of Monroe Place. It is quite tree lined close to Monteque and Court St shops Short walk to the water front park and I could probably go one for awhile. The reno could have been more sympathetic to building and area, but if I had the money i’d been offering know (even if I had to replace the doors myself). PS not a BH native either. Born and raised Cobble hill.
perfect for a long island lolita.
