Co-op of the Day: 160 Henry Street
This co-op at 160 Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights ain’t for the faint-of-pocketbook. Even if you decide that the $3,250,000 asking price makes sense for this five-bedroom prewar pad, you’re still going to have to find a way to come up with 50% of that in cash. Building rules, sorry. (While it’s a high barrier…
This co-op at 160 Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights ain’t for the faint-of-pocketbook. Even if you decide that the $3,250,000 asking price makes sense for this five-bedroom prewar pad, you’re still going to have to find a way to come up with 50% of that in cash. Building rules, sorry. (While it’s a high barrier to entry, it’s also part of the reason you won’t see a whole lot of foreclosures in co-ops like this.) No square footage stats are provided, but given that the monthly maintenance is a cool $3, 845, you gotta figure it’s at least 3,000 square feet, right? Before you start guffawing, keep in mind that a unit on the eighth floor sold for $2,745,000 last summer and financing won’t be an issue given the high downpayment.

2;18 – I don’t appreciate it….I’m classless.
This apartment has a classic pre-war layout. You either have the class to appreciate it or you don’t. Living in this type of home is favored by many over living in a rowhouse where everything is on different levels. As for outdoor space, people who own apartments like this have weekend property in the country and possibly a ski home out west or in the Alps.
It’s a great apartment, but I’d rather have a house. This place has no outdoor space and that $3,800 a month in maintenance is about as much as I pay for my house (mortgage + maintenance).
I like the floorplan. I don’t like the interior, though. And at those prices you could be looking at a whole house in Park Slope.
i do love the price, actually.
for what you get compared to manhattan, it’s a fine deal.
there will not be a problem finding a buyer.
two properties (one 3.5, one 6.5) just sold on prospect park west.
and this has an even better commute for a financial guy with 2-3 kids and a wife.
Are you kidding me? That floorplan is CRAZY!!! Mad space.
What 1:43 for got to say is:
Love the seller who hired me over other realtors so I get a (long)shot to a big fat commission check.
Hope the apt is not on a high floor, cause your housekeeper is going to get tired climbing up the service stair.
What’s up with the weird configuration of the the bedroom, den, long hallway, bathroom and what appears to be a door out of the apt.??
1:43 – you forgot to say:
love the price
