BY STEPHEN ZACKS
Here’s a prewar co-op in Prospect
Heights that’s primely
located just a half-block from
Grand Army Plaza. It’s located
at 274 St. Johns Pl., in a
circa-1913 brick building with
16 units, one of several built
along this street at the time
christened with vaguely historic
sounding names.
This one was known as
Kentmere Arms, at least when
it was fi rst built, and was featured
in an ad from 1913 promoting
its local and longdistance
telephone service,
electric light, and sanitary arrangements.
It now sits right
next to the controversial Richard
Meier On Prospect Park
condos.
The apartment itself is a
two-bedroom, but the second
bedroom has french doors with
transom windows opening to
the living room. So it’s not extremely
private, and it has no
closet. In this case, it looks like
they’re using the room as an
offi ce with a daybed.

looks to be haunted by the
looming windows of the nextdoor
condos. The living room
has crown moldings, and the
kitchen is laid out with two
rows of modern light-wood
cabinets, stainless-steel appliances,
and a stone island countertop
opening to a combined
living and dining room.
We wrote about another
unit in the building back in
2015 with the same set up of
windows facing the curtain
walls of One Grand Army
Plaza, asking if $715,000 was a
fair price. We have an answer:
it actually sold for $775,000.
This one is asking $795,000
and comes with a monthly fee
of $799. It’s listed by Lesley Semmelhack
and Amanda McAvena
of Corcoran. Is the view an attraction
or a liability?
