The four-story brownstone at 440 Henry Street in Cobble Hill looks like it’s probably a little worse for the wear, but it also sounds like it has enough of its original charm intact that it could be a great house with some TLC. There are no interior photos (love the winter exterior shot, though) so all we have to go on is the adjective-heavy description of the existing “fireplace mantel, majestic tin ceilings, picturesque moldings, and brilliant wood floors.” It’s hard to tell for sure, but we’d bet those windows are not wooden, Landmarks-compliant ones. Assuming there’s a good $500,000 of renovations needed on this bad-boy, do you think the asking price of $1,999,000 is achievable?
