Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
Warm-weather use is where this one-bedroom at 161 Remsen Street stands out, since the apartment has private outdoor space that the listing describes for dining and entertaining. I'd treat that as the main reason to look at it.
Hardwood floors run through the apartment. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-in bookshelves, which give the room warmth and character without much effort.
The dining area is generous enough for a large table, and the kitchen opens onto it with updated stainless steel appliances. Cooking and eating share one space, which is the trade-off, but it suits a room set up for gatherings.
Spacious entry foyer.
The entry foyer could work as a home office or reading nook. The additional room can serve as a second bedroom or an office, so the layout adapts without changes to the walls.
This 1930 prewar cooperative has seven stories and 18 units. The building has elevator service, a common roof deck, a bike room, basement laundry and additional storage, and pets are welcome. Court Street station is about one minute on foot for the 2, 3, 4, 5 and R trains, and Columbus Park is about two minutes away.
