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.

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 went to see this house last weekend and it was lovely, with some really brilliant details, though there is a little work left to be done. The seller was just about the sweetest person I’ve ever met. Good luck!
P.S. I’ve been looking for many months and you can’t get anything comparable to this place in Park Slope. And if you want to go live in some new designer hi-rise, be my guest. The new, cheapo versions of “modern” that people are building by the dozens are terrible.
Amy,
I think you blew it.
You should have made this an owner’s triplex with ground floor rental. People are looking for charming houses like this and will pay a premium for them, and Halsey Street is nice. But little walk-up apartments are a dime a dozen. Plus I’m not sure it complies with the multiple dwelling code. You need two means of egress or a fire rated stair (no wood) and sprinklers. You also need all baths to be ADA compliant. You could have made real money converting it back to a real house. Did you speak to an architect? Do you have a C of O?
Yo asshats. The Stock Market is getting Assraped! The FED only cut a quarter point. Plus the Layoff are fucking coming! So flips like this are FUCKING DEAD!!!!! Have a Merry Fucking Xmas. LMMFAO!!!!!!!!
The What <--- See I was right. Someday this war is gonna end.......
Does that home page photo on your site have anything to do with this house? I don’t see how you have a open staircase layout in a house that has been split into four condos.
Amy, good luck. There are more of us rooting for you, than those who do not.
They are just jealous that when they can’t manage to buy anything, because every neighborhood it just too – too expensive, too far, too close to the projects, too far away from the subway, too black, too popular, too poor, too rich, too homogenous, too far from mommy’s basement.
You and your family have managed to get 2 pieces of property, and are making a profit, as well as a home. How dare you!
Great house, thanks for preserving the details, and going for class over crass.

Wow, I can really feel the jealousy radiating from my computer screen.
Yes they Paid 710K after a flip. Yes they spent two years renovating and likely making hundreds of thousands of $ in improvements. Yes they WILL get upwards of $400K for these units and turn a very nice profit for all of their time and efforts.
It is seems the main focus of negativety is jelousy and avarice here. Face reality – If you take a chance and invest your time and money wisely, you too can do very well. Hating others for it will not improve your pathetic lives.
The entryway and bathrooms also all need to be handicapped accessible. Hope you knew what you were getting into?
I’m not sure it’s fair to jump on the seller just because she’s opened up her personal lives to us.
That being said, I think the price is market, just, you know, the market is a joke right now. I’m guessing these are an option for families much like Amy’s own… except for the bad schools, lack of amenities, lack of real bedrooms, etc. They should probably be 100K cheaper, as per the price of new construction in the area for the same square footage. Priced at $450K… why wouldn’t I just buy a Scarano mezzanine in east Williamsburg near Cooper Park, or something in Inwood? Both are about the same price and have better schools.
there are 3-rooms apartments in many elevator buildings in far nicer neighborhoods for $350-380,000. I’m talking Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope. The little units are affordable.
I think this posting is simply ludicrous.
Can you imagine the narrow stairway? I hope the public halls have sprinklers because a four-unit building is a multiple dwelling and has to comply with at least some minimum standard of fire safety for the residents. The condo will need to provide barrier-free access to any resident who demands it. It is in no way, shape, or form a house any more. It is a multiple dwelling.
