CITY’S MOST COOPERATIVE CO-OP The architect who bought this apartment wanted something that he could monkey around with. This co-op, in a postwar building off Washington Square Park, provided him an outlet to do just that: It’s a famously forgiving board when it comes to renovations. He’s flipping one of the bedrooms and the living room to avoid an eastern exposure that promised to make an early riser out of him. Broker Alex de Bordes of Eychner Associates represented the buyer in the deal.
