Welcome to Brick Underground’s sponsor apartment pick of the week, where we feature a co-op for sale by the owner of the building. You do not need board approval to buy these apartments, they are often newly renovated, and they typically require a down payment of only 10 percent, versus the 20 to 25 percent that most co-ops demand. In exchange for the condo-like ease of acquisition, expect to pay a bit more than a regular co-op, but considerably less than a condo. For more information, check out "Everything you ever wanted to know about sponsor apartments but were afraid to ask."
This two-bedroom, one-bath sponsor co-op, 624 West 207th St., #44, in Inwood, is listed at $525,000, a slight dip from the neighborhood’s median for two bedrooms, which is $549,000, according to StreetEasy. Maintenance isn’t too bad either—$840 a month.
The apartment was recently renovated and features south-facing windows; wide plank hardwood floors; new baseboards, doors, trim, and crown molding—plus recessed LED lighting. There’s an in-unit washer/dryer and four generous closets.
Located in a five-story walk-up that was built in 1916, there’s a total of 20 units. The lobby is an interesting mix of exposed brick walls, crown molding, and mosaic tile floors. Amenities include a live-in super, bike room, gym, storage lockers, and a private greenspace (which apartment #44 overlooks).
