House of the Day: 562 Henry Street
Here’s an 1850s Carroll Gardens Italianate you don’t have to renovate or restore; it’s already been done by the broker-owner, with all the bells and whistles. The 20-foot-wide brick townhouse is set up as an owner’s triplex over a garden rental, both with separate entrances. The top three floors have brand-new electric, plumbing, central air,…
Here’s an 1850s Carroll Gardens Italianate you don’t have to renovate or restore; it’s already been done by the broker-owner, with all the bells and whistles. The 20-foot-wide brick townhouse is set up as an owner’s triplex over a garden rental, both with separate entrances. The top three floors have brand-new electric, plumbing, central air, bathrooms, kitchen, floors, Wolf, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, Arclinea cabinets and Calacatta marble counters. The original staircase and the front exterior have been restored. Out back is a steel and ipe wood deck. While the house is merely a block from the BQE, we know from personal experience you can’t hear it from that distance. The listing doesn’t specify whether the house will be delivered vacant. For $3,600,000, how do you like it?

i wholeheartedly agree about the bathrooms. Poster child for being penny wise and pound foolish hiring a PE and not an architect. I’m sure there were some valid cost reasons for cutting these corners, but its just way to critical for this a$king price. Bit of a shame considering all the other work put into the house.
I disagree about some of the comments on modern changes, most of which i really like. Otherwise central air is HUGE to me, and owners unit overall seems great. Deck, backyard, lots of great things here, this buyer isn’t going to care about the molding or the door, the place seems like it feels good (from pics). Not sure if i love the kitchen, but it will have to be seen to give a firm opinion.
Unfortunately, someone still has to live here, and it can’t really be a family – well, not one with $3.6 million. I don’t think this closes over $3.0 – and in addition to that there will need to be some $$ in the deal for changing the bathrooms. $3.6 million living has *some” standards as to daily living conditions.
Also, i wouldn’t mind living across from lucali. yum.
this layout is pretty f’in terrible.
This looks like a pretty nice renovation from the pictures , high end . You also get a great school district location .
