We realized we haven’t been writing much about Red Hook real estate recently and so we started poking around for a House of the Day candidate. All that came up on our NYT search was this 3-story building on the corner of Van Brunt and Pioneer. Currently it’s configured as two rental apartments over two stores. The listing describes it as a wood frame but frankly it’s hard to tell if it’s wood or vinyl. Pros include lots of windows and (for some) a cool location; cons include the fact that it’s not configured for a family and that Van Brunt is a wide street with its share of truck traffic. One more con: The asking price of $1,400,000. You’d have to be very bullish on commercial rents in the area to pay that. Are there any other more charming houses in Red Hook currently on the market?
