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.

Yes, BRG & Snappy, you can’t get that view from a brownstone.
A wrap around terrace with a view of the harbor, bridges and the city…..I just fainted.

This is chamberific.
If you are worried about the $4,000 maintenance then this pad ain’t for you.
I know two older couples on my blocks, who are not yet elderly, but who are cashing in their brownstones and moving to swanky condos with views.
It’s called planning for your old age (as in living on one level and having services) and it’s smart.
I know people won’t believe me, but I would still buy in Brooklyn no matter how much cash I had on hand. The apt vs. house issue is tougher. The doorman alone is pretty fabulous.
Hmmm. I guess I can see the benefits of not having to do maintenance, security, etc. 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. I’ll take a nice little frame house with a backyard any day.
I’m thinking this floor plan is almost as old if not as old as the building. In which case “chambers” as pompous as it sounds now was commonly used.
I see chamber all the time in floor plans. Just an old term. My price range was not “TONY”.
Regardless of how much money I had a coop or condo wouldn’t be my choice.
That said, I think a big draw is the amenity factor- doorman, security etc. It’s lower maintenance (work not money obviously). It’s also one floor living. Some people do have issues with having to climb stairs.
If I had 4mm I’d take a co-op over a brownstone — I didn’t love all the stairs, but not this one. I LOVE this unit, but not the building.
