$2100 – 2br SNEAK FREAK (Graham L & Nassau G)

Trying out this iPhone app thingy ding dong.

The following is a place in one of my really good friend/biz partner’s buiding on the 3rd floor of this absolute gem of an old school Greenpoint pre-war apartment.

Entrée!

Since I can’t caption everything like I’m used to, just know that the craftsmanship is all by hand, original details preserved, and there are windows throughout.

While a single person or tasteful couple could live here quite comfortably, the potential for it to function as a share is imminently possible.

- Available Aug. 1, 2009.

- Pets are Jim Dandy.

- Not sure about utilities yet.

- Located on the corner of Newton St. and McGuinness Blvd.

Comment and ye shall receive your dues.

$2700 – Stacked 3br Stoner Palace in Billyberg (Bedford L)

Yup, that’s a wheelchair in there…  not because anyone’s disabled but because three totally awesome stoner college dudes live in there and have all kinds of oddities and stuff tacked to the walls (Lil’ Kim t-shirt, skateboard decks, “art”, etc.).

What lies beneath the facade of this Judd Apatow set is:

- A Swiss Family Robinson-style railroad with lofted beds all over the place (sorry, no rope swings or monkey servants).
- Two separate entrances so only one roommate gets traffic.
- Manhattan skyline views for those moments around 4:30 when Dark Side is blasting and your gaze needs somewhere to float.
- A bathroom that’s been sufficiently “dudeified” but according to the tenants “blasts hot water nicely.”
- Kitchen appliances that have seen many a charred ramen noodle and condiment encrustation.
- But here’s the clincher: WINDOWS IN EVERY ROOM!!! YESSS!
- Available August 1st.

If I were you (thrifty, social, and stonery Williamsburger), I’d comment so you can see it.

$2000 – Railroad Redesign: Why don’t they ALL do this???

Living in the “Capital of the World,” one might jump to the conclusion that New Yorkers have reached a certain quality of life plateau where two people could share an apartment without one of them sleeping in a room with no windows, natural light, or ventilation.  Such is the case with the vast majority of floor-through, or so-called “railroad” apartments especially in Brooklyn.  Such is NOT the case with this fabulous redesign:

-Two actual bedrooms on separate sides of the unit with doors and locks – how novel.
-Square footage that could satisfy the grungiest of Austrian loft zealots.
-New kitchen appliances, counter tops, and cabinets that may actually inspire you to start cooking.
-Subway tiled bathroom, not drunken Polish style floral patterns.
-Closets so big you can sublet them to your college drop-out step brother.
-A hop, skip, jump, and a 1/2 block more hopping to the Greenpoint Ave. G.
-Feast on Northern Greenpoint’s cornucopia of economy proof liquor stores, fruit stands, butchers, bars, and restaurants.
-Sorry, no pets.
-Available August 15th, 2008.

I’ve got this on my plate for a week and then it goes public so comment and let’s make some moves!

$1450 – 1br of Maximum Funkiness! (G’pt Ave. G)

Not funky because it’s gross but funky because it’s AWESOME!  Well, it’s good… maybe “awesome” would be better after it’s done being renovated and you’ve added your personal design touches:

- Well lit true 1br in Northern Greenpoint.
- New renovation (as you can see, they’re doing the work now).
- Quiet street and convenient to the wonderful world of Greenpoint.
- Not sure what’s up with that TV but I think it’s being used as a work bench.

Shall we view? Comment!

$1850 – Happy Couple Nuzzle Nest (G’pt Ave. G)

Lame headline but AWESOME apartment!  I haven’t actually spoken to the landlord on this one but it’s still up for grabs as far as I know.

- Sunlight to blind you.
- View of the freakin Manhattan skyline from the eat-in kitchen.
- Two fake fireplaces (all class).
- Big ‘ol bedroom for your king-sized Temperpedic.
- Ultra cute 3 story house right in the mega-chill area of N. Greenpoint.

If you’re viewing this today, we may already be too late.  Leave a comment and let’s go get ‘eem!

$1900 – B’berg Backyard Action (Graham L)

Not too shabby of a place for the price…

- Sizable 4 room railroad layout.
- Shady backyard with a Weber just chillin there.
- Sunny bedroom.
- Eat-in kitchen.

You could probably work this out as a two bedroom if:

1.) One of you doesn’t mind sleeping in the living room separated by a hippie tarp.
2.) Having your roommate walking through your “bedroom” to get to his/hers.
3.) Using the backyard as your common space… might be uncomfortable in the snow (depending on your tastes).

$1600 – Bob Barker Special! (Nassau G/Graham L)

If price is the bottom line for you, this unit has some bang for that buck:

- Sunny as all hell.
- Street parking (for you gas guzzlers)
- Short walk to the Graham L and even shorter to the Nassau G.
- Storage galore.
- Square footage for sprawling.
- Stupendous landlord (my old one in fact).

I didn’t try to alliterate those superlatives but it just came out that way. Have a peep at the pics and give a shout!
