Here’s a well-located, wellgroomed,
but relatively compact
prewar one-bedroom coop
in Prospect Heights. It’s
located on the second fl oor
of a modest early 20th-century
fi ve-story, 46-unit brick
walkup building, not far from
the Brooklyn Public Library
and Grand Army Plaza.
The apartment has painted
wood fl oors and apparently
original if simple moldings.
One of its best features is the
nicely renovated kitchen featuring
butcher block counters,
wood cabinetry, and stainless
steel backsplash and appliances.
The bedroom is long enough
to include an offi ce or sitting
room. The bathroom too looks
to be in good condition, possibly
updated relatively recently.
There are four closets.
The wallpaper in the bedroom,
gray walls, and bright
yellow-painted trim might not
be to everyone’s liking, but
that’s easily remedied.
The building is named the
Nancy Lincoln, presumably after
Abe Lincoln’s mother. The
building’s limestone entrance
features pilasters and modern
ironwork with a sunburst pattern.
Some of the windows are
arched or pedimented, with
Juliet balconies. The fi rst and
fi fth fl oors have limestone
bands to offset the red brick,
but overall the building and its
apartments are pretty workmanlike.
Other one-bedrooms at 400
Lincoln Pl. on higher fl oors
have sold for less in the last
year or two. With its $701
monthly maintenance, unit 2A
would run more than $3,000
a month, based on 20 percent
down and a 30-year lease.
Amanda Nelson of Compass
is handling the listing, which is
looking for $579,000. Worth it?
