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.

love the apartment.
love the location.
love everything.
1:30 #2, the service entrance for the staff (after they climb the stairs up to the apartment) can be seen in the middle of the floorplan. Of course they can also shimmy up the building and climb through the hole left by the window A/C unit once the central cooling is installed.
The layout is lovely but I don’t like the big fugly a.c. stuck in the window. For this dough a little central cooling should be standard equipmnet. The ask price is ridiculous. I would rather overpay for the house with the 3-car garage in Boerum Hill.
What NO service entrance for the staff?? How vulgar!
For that kind of dough, I’d want to be in this building’s contemporaries on Montague Terrace or Columbia Heights. The location here is only so-so. The others have two of the best apartment house sites in all of NYC, with views as good as Fifth or CPW (and at a fraction of the price).
50% down payment is pretty strict. most co-ops ask only for 20-25%.
This fancy-pants building should do something about their entry court, it looks like crap. Half dead shrubs in planters.
Hint to the board: you’re supposed to be a high-class operation, get your act together.
Take out the ugly furniture and it’s an uglier apartment.
the best you can get for 3.25 million?
you really think that’s what people spending that kinda money are looking for? the best they can get??
i think they are looking for a place they love.
you want the “best you can get for 3.25 million” go take it to alabama.
I don’t see it. This is the best you can get for $3.25 million? The ceilings look very low, the rooms look small and cramped, and the interiors are unremarkable. Maybe it’s the pictures, maybe not.
