This two-bedroom,
two-bath co-op, located
on the second fl oor of
a state-of-the-art 1950
eight-story elevator
building on 8th Avenue
in Park Slope, could be
made into a showpiece
of modern design. The
building at 130 8th Ave.,
has chamfered windows
on both corners, is
within the Carroll Street
setback, and is a belowgrade
garage.
Inside the apartment,
the layout is a rational
1950s design that plays
off the triangular cutout.
The foyer is open to
the living room, which
features parquet fl oors
and broad six-pane windows.
It’s roomy enough
that one could imagine
a wall of books, and the
space includes a dining
area through a wide
open threshold.
The niche coincides
with the chamfered bay
of windows. The adjacent
kitchen is arrayed
on the diagonal with a
90-degree angled counter
and a corner sink.
The wood cupboards,
laminate counter, stonelook
fl oor and white appliances
appear clean
and functional.
The two bedrooms
and two bathrooms are
entered from the living
room via a diagonal aperture.
Both bedrooms
are large, each with a sizable
window on one end,
and parquet fl oors.
The bathrooms appear
to be in good condition,
with apparently
custom wood vanities
and vessel sinks. They
have tan fl oors and
walls, perhaps made of
tile, stone or laminate.
Some may want to update
these with more
contemporary fi nishes,
budget allowing.
Throughout the apartment
are apparently
custom-built shelves
and cupboards, most
likely added sometime
in the last 20 years or so,
stained to match the tan
fl oors. A coat closet, two
linen closets, and three
closets in the bedrooms,
along with the built-ins
allow for plenty of room
to hide things.

A short drive thru the Battery Tunnel from Manhattan
report calls it
“an unadorned brick
apartment house.” It replaced
the Charles Feltman
Mansion (the hot
dog man) that was designed
by noted 19th
century architect Montrose
Morris. Begun in
1950 and completed in
1951, it was designed by
A. Rollin Caughey and
Rollin A. Caughey, also
known for their 1930s
Art Deco apartment towers.
This one featured all
of the latest postwar appliances
and was billed
at the time as “designed
to meet the needs of a
new era in which luxury
must be balanced by
economy.”
Located not far from
Grand Army Plaza, today
it’s a full service doorman
building with 72
units and an ADA-compliant
lobby. The maintenance
is on the high side
at $1,588. Listed by John
Mazurek and McKinley
Jones III of Douglas Elliman,
the co-op is asking
$1.35 million. Does it
have potential?
