Co-op of the Day: Classic Seven in Brooklyn Heights

Today’s co-op is a stately four-bedroom, three-bath unit on a prime Brooklyn Heights block. Located at 35 Pierrepont Street, it’s a classic seven in form, and it’s classic in the general sense of the word as well, with understated prewar elegance.

Listed by Karen Heyman at Sotheby’s, the place has a fair amount to offer. It’s fully renovated and, unless trick photography has been brought into play, in excellent condition. It’s got nice spaces, a functional layout, good proportions, and light from three exposures.

There are some nice touches here — the picture window in the kitchen, built-in shelves and cabinets, parquet floors in dark wood, a wood-burning fireplace.  The slate-floored kitchen is a nice one, with high-end appliances and a granite countertop. There’s an entrance hall large enough to pitch a pup tent in.

Like we said, it’s a classic place, not one for post-collegiate roommates. If you’ve got a piano and a curated art collection, it’ll look at home here.

The building has a 24-hour elevator operator, basement storage, a bike room, a live-in super, and a shared roof deck. There’s also laundry in the basement.

All that classicism doesn’t come cheap. The maintenance is $3,229, the ask is $3,200,000. The place sold in 2011 for $1,850,000, according to StreetEasy, so that’s a hefty price jump. On the other hand, it’s a wild market, and places like this are always in demand.

Think the price is in line with the market? What’s your take on the place?
