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.

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. There was an open house for the downstairs apartment on Sunday. Asking price: $425,000. A second unit will be ready for viewing in time for the two open houses this weekend. Anyone check it out yet?

I really hope that if I take on a renovation one day, it never gets posted on here!! The people who comment on here are so cruel!!
We could use more of this in the area… STOP all new construction more projects like this.. Thanks Amy….

1:20 — What’s sad and mean spirited is when these houses are hogged by one owner. That kind of decadence is thankfully reserved for the mcmansions of the suburbs. I’m so happy to see people sharing these buildings, caring for them together.
I’m also heartened by the fact that people are willing to take on the huge challenge of renovating an old building in the first place! I wish that there was more condo-converting of old, existing spaces, and less building of hideous new “human storage containers”. People are actually kinder and gentler souls when they live in a real home, not a cubicle. Even if they have to share it.
Why is it mean spirited and sad to provide beautiful housing? Although, it is pretty expensive. The market will decided if this is acceptable.
There was a post on this on renovatingonthecheap.com.

Place looks great and don’t let the nasty people get under your skin!
One thing though, I looked at the site and it was hard to figure out the design of the apartments.
2 bedrooms? 1 bedroom? Are they all the same general layout?
Amy,
Your mistake is brilliant, your baby is adorable, and your house is fabulous. Good luck.
Looks like a wonderful place to live.. great block… good south bedford stuyvesant “Bedford Corners” area…
