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…
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 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?

Do you think the floors are part of the renovation or the original floors? Other than my floor question, it looks like a Long Island McMansion.
beaucoup de fromage
The 8-foot wide “bedroom” would bother me more than the doors. That’s a lot of money for a one-plus bedroom, even in a lovely location with a lovely garden space.
I’m confused. Charming exterior?
Despite Mr. B’s attempt to explain his aversion to the doors, I still don’t get it. we purchased solid wood doors looking just like these (6 panel) for our rental apartment. They were a few hundred dollars apiece. how’s that cheap???
Whoa Buddy! I love recessed lights! & cheesy doors! AntiDoorites! The lot of you!
Omigod, I’m just joining this thread now, but I’ve got to pick myself up off the floor before I can continue………….
🙁
:-\
:-!

OK, I’m back.
THOSE DOORS!
I can’t breathe. I’m having palpitations. I think I may be having a panic attack, but that’s nothing compared to…….
THOSE RECESSED LIGHTS! MR. B., HOW COULD YOU MISS THOSE RECESSED LIGHTS?!?
Oh, the horror………..
I’d fumm Safran Foer, oh no wait, he’s not the hot one. Joshua Ferris is the cutie.
