Condos of the Day: 418 Henry Street
Continuing the theme of converted brownstones, today we look at 418 Henry Street, a four-unit conversion between Kane and Baltic in Cobble Hill. Prices range from a $895,000 for a 1,090-square-foot two-bedroom to $995,000 for a 1,470-square-foot one-bedroom. We don’t particularly care for the finishes (new fireplaces, new floors, recessed lighting and granite counters) but…

Has anyone seen these in person?

To those who think these will sell fast: These units have been on the market since October 30th…Zero takers.
er, my bad. No units in contract.
You folks who’ve actually seen the units know better than i do. Views of a brick wall and poor natural light suck, I agree.
Oh well, on first glance it looked good, but looks can be deceiving.
I looked at these units a while ago. They are outrageously overpriced! The back windows look onto a wall and the bedrooms have very poor light (one side bedroom had barely any light as it faced a dark wall). The apartents are also quite small. In addition, the broker selling these is horrendous. He mixed up my appointment with that of another customer and then blamed me for the error!
Jake, I don’t think any are in contract from the Halstead link. The apts. in contract are from different buildings.
From the pictures, that looks like excellent workmanship to me.
It doesn’t matter what the developer paid. He could have gotten the place for free. Two units are already in contract and I bet the rest sell soon enough . . . compared to the rest of the new construction crap on the market these look very attractive to me.
Brownstoner, why are you so obsessed with reusing vintage materials? Sure, if you’ve got it, keep it, but there’s nothing wrong with recessed lighting or new wood floors.
It’s great that you honestly express your opinions, but you seem a bit obsessed with “old stuff.” Poor workmanship is one thing, but there’s nothing wrong with new fireplaces by God!
We went to an open house for these a while back. The renovations were OK, but kind of blah/nothing special, which was kind of surprising given the price. Light was pretty poor throughout the building. My general impression was these apts were way overpriced.
I’ve seen these at an open house and can say that none of the apartments impressed me. The windows in the back look onto an alley with a building about 8 feet away. The kitchens are small, the living space is tiny and the prices seem large. Even the roof deck wasn’t taken care of. There is no leveled deck platform over the roof like the building’s neighbors. It’s just simply mats covering the uneven roof.
Not worth the price for any of them.
that building sold for a million? really?
The largest ground floor apartment isn’t really good for anyone who cares about ps 29 — if you have older kids, you want a real 2-bedroom. So the question is whether $900,000 for just over 1,000 squ feet 2 bedrooms will be appealing to families. I don’t know how that compares with typical 2 bedrooms in Cobble Hill, especially ones that require you to walk up a flight or two of stairs.
