Co-op of the Day: 75 Henry Street
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.

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.

The photo above is actually not 75 Henry Street, its actually 140 Cadman Plaza which is directly down the street. There has been extensive exterior work going on at 75 henry for the last year and a half which has actually made the building less depressing to look at.
Am I being to generous with my 1.2 then?
Wow, the broker speak on this one really is laugh out loud funny. DO they really think we fall for that?
From what I can tell it’s a pretty nice place but Gemini is right on about
“but um if I am paying 1.6 I want my own Washer/dryer in the apt and to live in an building that doesn’t look like it was leftover from the Lefrak Housing plan”
I think they’ve REALLY overshot the mark on this one.
Seconding BRG’s “brokers are idiots,” but what gets me isn’t the price fantasy, it’s the grammatical nightmare. I’ve stopped even noticing everyday misuse of contractions, but this
“combined with it’s million dollar view and its terrace overlooking the harbor and the NY skyline”
is a classic. What possible rule could they be thinking justifies the different treatment? Use an apostrophe to seem classy when you’re talking about money?
Argh.
What’s with the asterisk by the “bedrooms = 3*”? Does that stand for “only kidding”?
come on, let’s not hate on these bldgs because agent / seller put a stupid price on it. Just hate the price. They’re not premium luxury bldg, etc. but they not bad. One good thing about buildings like this is they usually have generous size rooms, windows, good light etc.
would this get some love if it was prices say 725k?
“but there are no trannies in brooklyn heights.”
Maybe there should be, liven up that neighborhood.
Snark: – OMG I totally missed that
wow – I am in shock – what is with these agents – what horrible copy!
A ridiculous price for a building I only recently realized wasn’t housing projects.
