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.

will you be living in one of the condo’s amy ?
It’s so sad and mean-spirited to break up a little house like this into four cramped units.
Does anyone realize how strange this would be in any other American city?
This is what they did in the Soviet Union in the bad old days.
And to top it off it is in a marginal neighborhood and they are asking someone to buy it. I have to get off the website.
It isn’t right and I need some air.
Facade is weird but different. The things that bother me a bit — and I’m now picking on you, Amy, I’m sorry — are the finish on the flooring (way too glossy) and the galvanized window sashes, which can be painted for a less industrial look. Both these things are tiny but they do make the place feel glaringly “flipper”.
Other than that, congratulations. I’ll certainly come by this weekend to check it out.

True. That picture means nothing. Everybody, and I mean everybody includes pictures of their family in their condo offerings. And pictures are never included to “mean” anything.
Honey, how can we let people know that, although this is Bed-Stuy, that we are, you know, white? Um, we could include a picture?
This doesn’t make them racist, it means that they are acknowledging the intersection of race and real estate, which, in truth, should be considered the subtitle of this very blog.
You can get a parking spot in BH for $425,000!
i hope pf emmett kept his day job. that facade has a serious case of the fugs.
Hi Everyone,
145 Halsey owner here – I actually wasn’t expecting this to be on Brownstoner today (!) and am working on the website now. Please come back later this afternoon for a few more pictures. And no, the pic of my family was just my first “upload test picture” to see if I was uploading correctly and I just haven’t gotten around to taking it down (will now)- wasn’t planning for people to see us! 🙂
The house isn’t small – although you are right the picture makes it appear that way, I’ll have to fix that – each floor is 900 sq feet and there is a condo on each floor. Hope to meet some of you this weekend.
All the best,
Amy

It’s 4 floor-throughs. I don’t see what’s so weird about that.
