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 that’s an apartment! Oh, in case you were wondering, you are allowed to use this place as a pied-a-terre. Phew.

  1. I was paging through the photos laughing at the sort of vomit-y furnishings (to each their own? money doesn’t buy taste, I guess) when I noticed the listing says it comes “furnished.” Hilarious! Spend $4MM on an apartment and then have to throw all that shit out!

  2. Ringo…WTF???? I’m 54 this year and wouldn’t give my stairs up for the world. What are you, like 25??? You obviously have no clue what 50 & 60 year olds are capable of. If a 60 year old can’t climb a flight of stairs then maybe they should be in a rest home anyway.

    Unless you’re a smoker then I understand why you would think that. 🙂

  3. “but I guess it just seems odd to me that one of ‘means’ would choose to have people above, below, or beside them or in some cases all three.”

    Um Snappy…people of ‘means’ are living as you describe above all over Manhattan. Actually some of the wealthiest in the city live like this.

  4. agree with THL — floorplans for my current place say chambers too. that’s just how it was done in the olden days. I love these charming plans. Like the units themselves, with closets and halls and baths, they make more sense then what people make now. The thick-lined floorplans BHS draws up now are the worst of the lot.

    I think anyone over the age of 50 who expects to live for another 10 years thinks about the stairs in a brownstone. I think if you’re 40 and you’re buying your forever house, you think about the stairs. Now if you’re 30 and you’ve got $4 to spend, get thee a townhouse and god bless.

  5. I live a few blocks from this building and I guess when you pay $4.2 million on a pad, dropping $4K on fees is nothing. BTW – I missed my train stop on the way home the other night and had to get off on Lawrence. Does anyone know what’s going on with the new development going up there? I think it’s 111 Lawrence. It looks like it’s half done. Is that a rental or condo? What’s the deal?
