Right, not Cobble Hill at all. Warren St. between Bond/Nevins.
Corcoran has both this house and the one right next door -owned by same person-
for sale- 1st together now separate. Both same price. They also have a smaller $999 house avail on same block.
The block does deadend (not a thru street) on both sides to projects.
Not to say it is unattractive block. It does have most attractive examples (several) of 'new' in context brownstones I've seen anywhere.

Not so sure that this listing is the same one as Corcoran and others between the projects.
Could this be between Smith and Hoyt?

this is 482 Warren. Is strange that taxes are so high (C/O of 4 family dated 1975).
Most other 4 families have taxes 1/2 of this.
If he gets that price,then mine's for sale too - better location, about same sq ft., also 4 fam. used as 3, and less that 4k in taxes.

I looked at this house. Very nice. The rental units are in great shape. The owners duplex is nice, but needs some finishing touches. I spoke to some of the other owners on the block. I was told this block is highly owner occupied and that several of the houses in the neighborhood that have refinanced in the recent years usually have taxes comparable to this property. I was impressed by how quiet it was on the block. Because it's not a through street like Bergen and Dean, there wasn't all the trucks, buses and other traffic I've noticed on some of the other streets .
I know for a fact this is not the same house as the ones for sale by Corcoran because I went to look at the properties Corcoran had for sale after looking at this one.
My wife and I just started our search, but if this property is still available when we get closer to committing, we will probably make an offer. Too bad for the sellers that they put it on the market in the midst of a heat wave.

sorry - you're right. Corcoran has 492 and 494 for sale (same price). This one is 482.
Looks like new bldg. will be going up close to corner of Bond in what was a parking lot.
