Condos of the Day: 145 Halsey Street
According to the marketing verbiage, 145 Halsey Street was built in 1892 by someone named P.F. Emmett. It’s now being reborn as a four-unit condo after undergoing an extensive renovation that restored much of the house’s original detail while updating its systems.

I hate the anti-grate bias on this blog–it shines!
Good luck Amy!
No matter what is said on this blog, you did a nice job renovating. I’m glad I was able to buy right down the block from you!
Cheers.
Great job, Amy. Good luck.
Don’t mind the idiots who make stupid comments. They obviously have no clue about the real estate market or owning a home.
Amy: Have you visited Bedstyblog to promote your new place? That site is more civilized than the trash you find here.
I hate the anti-shiny bias on this blog–it grates!

you should post a picture of your bare feet against the wood floor
This thread is surreal.
Amy, I’m going to have to ask you to leave so we can talk about you and your building behind your back.
Hi again, Amy here.
Thank you so much for the nice comments from so many of you and especially the one about my baby – now I don’t know if I should leave the picture up or not!
Thought it may be helpful to have a little history… We (my husband and I) bought the house 2 years ago. It was a four family (since the 50’s) and had already been split up by floor. It was in very very bad condition. In order not to make any structural changes we decided to keep the floor plan and bring back whatever we could. I am working on putting the floor plans on the website now… We tried to make choices that would honor the house, its history, and its location while at the same time bringing it into more modern times. You can tell as soon as you walk in that it has been given some love and certainly not done “cheaply” (fyi: the condo in the link 1:22 provided mentions our house (145 Halsey) but focuses on one down the block at 83 Halsey).
We hope you will come see that the floors actually have a satin finish (though they do look shiny in the pics!), the facade is gorgeous and full of interesting details (the house is one of a very cool row of 6), and that this is by no means a “flipper”.
And 1:20 – sadly we don’t live in this house although we had a hard time making that decision… We live in another one we restored 5 blocks away on Monroe between Nostrand and Marcy.
Thanks everyone!
Amy
Are there any comps for condos in this area at these prices? this seems high when you can get the whole building for $1m.
