Here at Home In BK, we like to bring you new listings to let you get a jump on the competition. On 331 Sackett St., 2L we might have caught Corcoran out as well. Normally, they're great about giving you plenty of pics and info. Here, they've just thrown up this listing, and there's only one grainy interior pic to work with. Hopefully by the time you view this, Corcoran will have filled out the listing.
So why are we focusing in on this half-baked bread? Well, it's not every day that a decent, renovated, pre-war apartment comes on the market in prime Cobble Hill. And this is PRIME Cobble Hill, sitting happily between über-fashionable stretches of Smith St. and Court St.
The exterior looks great:
Here's the one, grainy interior pic we have to work with:
Nothing special, but at least it's clearly been renovated in the recent past.
The floor plan completes the picture - this is a railroad-style apartment, very little closet space. South-facing windows in the living room. Bedroom is in back, getting less sun but more peace and quiet. Also, the bedroom almost assuredly looks out over a nice green backyard.
The Numbers: Asking price is $822/square foot, which sounds high until you consider the neighborhood. Common charges of $638 are about par for the course. $105k downpayment gets you a $2892 monthly payment, including common charges.
The Intangibles: Cobble Hill is the cutest (and priciest) neighborhood in Brooklyn. Here, you're two blocks from the F and G trains, which will come in handy if you ever decide to leave your neighborhood.
The Bottom Line: If you have this kind of money, there are bigger and nicer places you can buy in Prospect Heights, Clinton Hill, and other neighborhoods further east. However, in terms of loving where you live and being able to count on high demand when you decide to sell, you can't do much better than this.
