StreetEasy’s Most Wanted: Apartments with a little something extra -- and some that need a little extra care
Whether you’re looking for a home that’s been updated or you’d like to fix one up yourself, grab a pencil. This week’s edition of StreetEasy’s Most Wanted (the 10 sales listings StreetEasyusers saved more often than any others this week) features a range of apartments from tricked-out to in-need-of-a-little-TLC.
A $1.995m three-bedroom, three-bath condo on West 61st Street (between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues) falls into the tricked-out category. Features include a wrap terrace, two Samsung flat screen LCD HD TVs, and a NAD stereo system and KEF speaker system. There’s also a full-size W/D perfect for a growing family’s laundry load. Besides Viking, Miele and SubZero appliances, the kitchen also sports a 50-bottle wine fridge and custom Italian cabinets.
A new air conditioning system and an in-unit W/D are just some of the perks of a two-bedroom, one-bathroom co-op on Charles Street and Seventh Avenue in West Village going for $995k. The renovated pre-war apartment also features a windowed kitchen that’s been opened and upgraded with granite counters, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar. Relatively low monthly maintenance ($1,215/mo) rounds out the bonuses.
At the other end of the spectrum is a $1.975m two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo on West 84th Street and Central Park West that needs some tender loving care. The formal dining room and maid’s room can both be turned into bedrooms, creating a four-bedroom space. The sponsor-held unit has an in-unit W/D, making laundry day more convenient, even if there’s only a part-time doorman and traditional financing may not be possible due to the high sponsor concentration of ownership.
Over in Boerum Hill, a $1.7m two-family, four-story brownstone with a two-story extension and garden apartment offering potential rental income (it’s currently being rented for $2,500/month), needs some TLC and “vision.” Located on State Street and Third Avenue, the prewar space has crown moldings and high ceilings.
