PROS
The co-op is made up of two buildings separated by a courtyard, one located directly on Norfolk Street and the second tucked behind it. This apartment is in the second building, which can make encountering the home feel like discovering a secret garden.
CONS
The apartment is up four flights of stairs, which may be too much for some. The laundry room is in the front building.
