There’s no lack of rustic atmosphere at this carriage house at 172 Pacific Street in Cobble Hill, which is bursting with dark wood built-ins, beams and exposed brick. There’s also a lavish kitchen with granite counters and a fancy stove, a big fireplace and a heating stove.
Set up as a two-family, one of the units was a former Rental of the Day. Now the ask for the whole house is $7,995,000.
We’re pretty sure the Cobble Hill record is the freestanding Greek Revival mansion at 491 Henry, purchased for $6,750,000 in February 2013 by Rag & Bone cofounder Marcus Wainwright and model Glenna Neece. Have prices really gone up that much in a year?

Agreed. And for nearly $8 million clams at this location, I’d also want at least twice as many habitable square feet.
True, I had the same thought. But on the other hand, for $7.9 million, wouldn’t you want to buy on a block that has another nice 175-year-old house across the street and not a parking-lot-soon-to-be-a-2-year-construction-site-and-thereafter-an-ugly-condo? (Yes I get it, the other carriage house is DIRECTLY across, and it’s lovely too, but no getting around the fact that there’s a chainlink-enclosed lot just next to that.)
That’s down the block. The surface lot is one lot over from directly across.
