BrickPicks: One-bed prewar W. 75th St d/m co-op, $549k, pets & pied-a-terres ok

This pre-war one-bedroom co-op at 215 West 75th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam is both conveniently located and competitively priced. Reduced $50,000 five days ago to its current asking price of $549,000, its listing price is now almost $150,000 below the $697,500 median asking price for one-bedroom apartments on the Upper West Side. Located in an elevator, doorman building, it has lovely hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, and a large but somewhat awkwardly laid out kitchen. The building only requires a down payment of 15%, and is only a few blocks from the subway (an express and local stop) and is across the street from Fairway, which to some would be a blessing. Pets and pied-a-terres allowed.
