elevator coming to 160 Chambers / NY Times On The Market
still a 1 + 1 with 3 flights of stairs
Tomorrow’s On The Market feature in the NY Times real estate section profiles #3 at 160 Chambers Street, which I have twice mentioned in open house reviews (on July 6 and March 23, when it was new to market at $1.635mm).
The traditional Pros vs. Cons array came out this way:
PROS: The sprawling living and dining space has three large windows and a working fireplace. The bathroom has a step-in whirlpool tub and a separate shower.
CONS: Residents will be displaced temporarily and maintenance may go up next summer when the co-op plans to install an elevator and a new staircase.
I would add to the “Cons” that it will remain a fourth floor walk-up until that disruptive (expensive?) elevator project promised for next summer, and that it does not seem so “easily” to convert from a one bedroom + one bath to a 2 + 2 (but maybe my imagination is limited).
(One of the interesting things about this weekly feature is that the Times generally has interesting and high quality photos that are – of course – different from the listing photos.)
