A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 135 Amity Street would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
Built in 1880, 135 Amity Street is a converted row house whose apartments range from compact upper-floor homes to a two-level garden residence. The four-story building retains the scale of Amity Street's older residential blocks, with a cooperative association and shared laundry behind its historic exterior.
The house falls within the Cobble Hill Historic District. Its designation predates many of the recorded cooperative transactions, and the exterior remains subject to the district's preservation requirements. A window proposal for this specific property appeared before the Landmarks Preservation Commission in June 2025.
Individual resales stretch back more than two decades. The cooperative also has a documented history of building-level financing: its lender announced a first-mortgage origination for 135 Amity Street Corporation in August 2018. That is a historical borrowing event, not a statement of the current mortgage balance or term.
Architecture and unit composition
The apartment mix includes studios, one-bedroom homes and two-bedroom layouts. Recorded areas for the smallest upper-floor apartments are under five hundred square feet, while the garden duplex extends across two levels. The larger apartments and the compact homes therefore occupy different portions of the original house.
High ceilings, exposed brick, oversized windows and fireplaces survive in the apartments. Fireplace conditions vary, with both decorative and working examples.
Rear-facing rooms look toward the block's gardens. The garden-level duplex has a private yard. Upper-floor apartments rely on the common stair, and the two-level garden arrangement adds an internal staircase.
The apartments include open living areas and more separated room arrangements. The share allocation and proprietary lease should correspond to the space included in a purchase.
Building operations
The cooperative maintains shared laundry and bicycle storage. Some apartments also have in-unit laundry. Stair access serves the four-story row house.
The June 2025 window application concerns proposed exterior work within the historic district.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00291-0043) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
At the recent median sale of $1.08M (4 transfers since 2024), a buyer putting 25% down would pay about $23,469 to close, or 2.2% of the price.

What to know if you’re buying
Establish the window project's scope for the apartment. The June 2025 LPC submission makes window work a specific item here. Determine whether the proposal became an approved building-wide program, which windows it covers, and whether the cooperative or the shareholder pays for the work.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
