A mid-rise prewar co-op in eclectic Midwood
Anshel House, the six-story, 53-unit brick co-op in central Brooklyn’s Midwood, sits on a block that is as eclectic as the surrounding neighborhood. The tree-lined street contains a hodgepodge of structures, including single-family colonials fronted by porches, brick townhomes, boxy midcentury apartment buildings and flashy contemporary houses.
Designed in 1937 by architect J.W. Sherman, the building’s marketing materials promised prospective tenants the latest features and amenities, including colored bathroom tiles with matching fixtures, clothes hampers, incinerators and an elevator. Its lobby, still quite striking, features oversized mirrors, a large arched entrance to a central stairway and a terrazzo floor in a burnt orange, white and grey basketweave pattern.
The surrounding area, framed by busy commercial corridors, offers a diversity similar to that of 18th Street, with a bubble tea shop and a Georgian restaurant mingling with kosher markets, a Turkish shish kebab hall and fast food spot Raising Cane’s.
Studios to two-bedrooms with high ceilings, built-ins and foyers
Homes in the co-op include studios to two-bedrooms. Studios 550 square feet or more list for up to $195,000. One-bedrooms 650 square feet and higher sell for as much as $349,000. Two-bedrooms measuring up to 1,200 square feet command $365,000 or more.
The apartments have generous proportions and include many prewar features, such as inlaid hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, arched doorways, built-ins and picture rail molding. Many units have foyers, dining areas and windowed kitchens and bathrooms.
A live-in super and shared laundry room
The building has a live-in super and shared laundry facilities. Subletting is allowed after three years with board approval. Pets are not permitted.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
