Co-op of the Day: 160 Henry Street
Are there still buyers out there looking to drop $4,250,000 on a Brooklyn Heights co-op? We’ll find out soon. This 3,000-square-foot penthouse at 160 Henry Street just hit the market with that price tag. The photos look nice, for sure, but it’s really the floorplan that makes a better case for the high price. Now…

Oh, in case you were wondering, you are allowed to use this place as a pied-a-terre. Phew.

A tile roof is more or less what a terrace is. Tile as in quarry tile not slates.
From the floor plan, that doesn’t appear to be a “wrap around terrace” – it’s referred to as a “tile roof”
I love the old layouts with the hallways and foyers and galleries. But this apartment will probably be bought by a young couple who will gut it and make into a Richard Meier style white palette loft. It will then be hopelessly outdated in five years. But such is life. Evidently there are still a number of hedge funds doing very very well. If you are employed by one of them, then I could see how this would make an ideal pied-a-terre -and in Brooklyn no less! Quelle au courrant!
I want to roller skate down that main hallway (and around the terrace).
I’ve been in apartments in this building (not this apartment though). The thing I didn’t like about the layout is that an inordinate amount of the space in the apartments is hallways. Feels somewhat like living in a maze.
I don’t like the word slaughterhouse. It sounds too murderous. I’ll stick with abbatoir.
let me say this about maintenance — a family looking at this place probably thought once or twice about bedford or greenwich and the like where the real estate taxes alone would have been 30-40-50k. So paying 48k annually for everything might not seem so nuts.
Nobody has mentioned that apartments often get much, much more light than brownstones — my own personal reason for liking apartment living.
Re: stairs. My then 89 yo grandmother and her 87 yo boyfriend bought a condo with stairs. Two flights, actually. They are still going strong 3 years later.
I would have a keg of beer tapped year round on that terrace.
