Co-op of the Day: 786 Washingon Avenue 1BR
This one-bedroom co-op at 786 Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights is a charmer. The FSBO listing is asking #399,00, not a give-away for this area but not bad considering that the place has been immaculately renovated recently. In addition to the kitchen and bathrooms, the modern make-over included some nice-looking built-ins in the living room….
This one-bedroom co-op at 786 Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights is a charmer. The FSBO listing is asking #399,00, not a give-away for this area but not bad considering that the place has been immaculately renovated recently. In addition to the kitchen and bathrooms, the modern make-over included some nice-looking built-ins in the living room. And while we’re usually not big fans of exposed brick, we think it works nicely in this space, providing some warmth to the otherwise cool, clean lines. Some folks probably won’t dig the fact that the 16-unit building is a walk-up though.

What is that, 500 square feet? That’s a really tiny apartment. Well done, but I’d feel like I was in steerage class. Hating that galley kitchen, too. The undercabinet fridge is the worst of all possible worlds, having to bend over just to get milk for my coffee…
But hey, you get a w/d, which has to be worth at least $25k.
Yikes — doesn’t the kitchen layout bother anyone else? It’s basically a entry hallway/kitchen and there is hardly any counter space. For 400K in PH, I would expect more space.
i hate prospect heights – used to live there. but, there is a good solid grocery store on vanderbilt. also, there’s always fresh direct!
have to say that i really like this apartment though. it’s very nice.
The AY comment is beyond absurd. This apartment is a healthy 15-minute walk from the nearest high-rise (when Phase II is built in 10-15 years) and about a mile from the arena. I understand that you and your drones are hell-bent on protesting AY at every conceivable turn, but at least make some effort to be rational.
Regarding the immediate area, this section of Washington can get very noisy during the summer. St. Johns and Lincoln Place still have a fair amount of low-income housing, which invites drug dealing, loud music, trash, graffiti, and petty crime. Shootings, while not commonplace, happen every few months or so. There’s also the racket from the West Indian Day Parade.
On the positive side, several new restaurants have opened and there’s a lot of condo development on the northern end of Washington. It’s also near the park, museum, library, etc.
nice apartment, not so great building, so-so neighborhood.
i really, really like the look of this place.
well done.
Who in their right mind would keep saying 2 1/2 people, it sounds so disgusting, like in the days of slavery
If you’re refering to your own child as 1/2 a person, I greatly pity this individual
1 br 400K…..I’ll pass!
I live in a 2-bedroom floor-through in the heart of prime Park Slope that I rent for $2150 a month. It’s layout is such that the bedrooms are on either side of the apartment, while the interior living room is just like this place, only larger. It even has the exposed brick. So it is run down a bit, but it is much larger than this place, in a similar building no less.
This apartment would be worth $400K if this building wasn’t divided into 16 units. Instead of 2 floor-throughs per floor, you have 4 apartments and that sucks.
Also, my kitchen is located in the interior of the unit as is this one – air flow is a real problem, which I imagine is only exacerbated by not having windows on both sides of the building.
You know this place has a few rent controlled lifers in it, which is also a real drag.
Why would I spent more per month than my current rent to live in a smaller apartment in a much less desirable area.
More proof it makes sense to rent, not buy. Invest your money and enjoy some real returns on your equity.
I wish they would show more, tell less. How’s the building? How high a walk-up?
