281 Henry Street, a five-story Brooklyn Heights townhouse, has finally sold: The $5 million deal just hit public records. The home was featured in a NY Times piece in early 2011 about the challenges facing the high end of the Brooklyn real estate market; at the time the property had been on the market for $5.395 million for almost a year. According to Streeteasy, the home was last priced at $4,950,000. Here’s a snippet from the listing: “The entrance hall opens to reveal a large, well-proportioned living room with huge floor to ceiling windows overlooking the beautiful backyard. A central oval staircase preserves the integrity of the pair of rooms on each floor which rise from living spaces to bedrooms. Six bedrooms in all.” Pretty high numbers for such a narrow home but it had some pretty impressive interiors…click through to see an interior shot.
