The listing for this 1,500-square-foot three-bedroom at 75 Henry Street makes a big deal about architectural lineage of its renovation but we gotta say it’s not doing a whole lot for. Nor is the asking price of $1,600,000 which seems very pricey for this building. Most folks who can drop this kinda dough on an apartment in The Heights are going to want something prewar. Granted, we’re sure the views are nice and there’s some cheap parking available, but we’ll be very surprised if this fetches anywhere near the asking price.

  1. NewYawker, I would add to Park Sloper’s comment thusly: while it’s true not everyone prefers prewar, I do think everyone prefers it to ‘postwar.’ ‘Postwar’ not including ‘modern’ buildings, of course. But, come on, no one prefers postwar (buildings built in the 1950s through 1970s). They are – without exception – ugly box buildings with low 8 ft ceilings.

  2. Aaaack! Imagine living in that enormous monstrosity with a few thousand of your closest friends. eeergh.

    Oh, and you get to pay $1.6 million for that privileged. Not to mention another $1400 a month.

    I don’t think I have the constitution for that sort of living… even if I had the money.

  3. New Yawker, I think you’re completely off the mark when you dismiss as “ridiculous commentary” Mr. B’s assertion that “[m]ost folks who can drop this kinda dough on an apartment in The Heights are going to want something prewar.” Of course it’s true that not everyone likes prewar. However, I daresay that most people looking to buy in Brownstone Brooklyn DO like prewar.
