Vintage Ditmas co-op asks $650K

This co-op in a Ditmas
Park building that opened
at the start of World War II
came with all the modern
design features of its era,
such as the advertised Hollywood
bathrooms, built-in
bookcases, glass enclosed
showers, colored tile bathrooms
and arched openings.
The 1940 marketing brochure
portraying the entrance portico
as if it captured the whole
proves that unrealistic renderings
are far from a recent
phenomenon.
Situated on the top floor
of the six-story, 71-unit elevator
building designed by
Oscar L. Silverstone, Apartment
6B is a junior two-bedroom
with plenty of space
for books in the entry hall
and some charming vintage
details. These include parquet
floors, built-in shelves
in a niche in the foyer, and
the aforementioned arched
openings.
It has lost the colored tiles
in the bathroom to an update,
a variation on an earlier
20th century style, the
classic all-white bathroom
featuring subway tile walls,
hex tile floor and pedestal
sink.
The galley-style kitchen
has also been renovated and
perhaps makes up for the loss
of color in the bathroom with
bright red cabinets, stainless
steel appliances and white
countertop.
The living room is long
enough for both dining and
lounging areas, and the entry
has plenty of space for books
or other collections.
Both bedrooms are large,
and the smaller of the two,
which is designed to also be
usable as a breakfast room
or office, features a bay window.
The bedrooms both have
closets, and there’s also coat
closet in the foyer and a linen
closet in the hallway.
Overall the apartment has
a pretty good layout, with
both good circulation and
privacy.
There is additional storage
in the building, along with
a laundry room, playroom,
bike storage and a backyard,
notes the listing, from
DeAnna Lenhart of Douglas
Elliman. The building is located
at 385 E. 18th St., close
to Cortelyou Road and the
Kings Theatre.
The apartment last sold in
2009 for $390,000. Now it’s
asking $650,000, and maintenance
is $960 a month. Is
it a good deal?
