Co-op of the Day: 224 Henry Street, #2AB
This new listing at 224 Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights looks very nice. The two-bedroom co-op takes up the entire floor of a 25-foot-wide brick townhouse. There are lots of original details and the recently-renovated kitchen is also attractively done. The monthly maintenance of $1,170 seems a tad high given the lack of a doorman…

There are lots of original details and the recently-renovated kitchen is also attractively done. The monthly maintenance of $1,170 seems a tad high given the lack of a doorman or amenities, but not painfully so. The asking price of $995,000. What do you make of that? There was an open house on Sunday—did anyone attend?

“Looks wonderful for a couple / a couple with a child.”
Ahem, Biff! Or a single person and his dog.
“I’d put a murphy bed into the study for guests.”
Precisely what I’m thinking.
Noki, I’ve been looking at 2 bedrooms in Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens, and this seems to be priced right. In my observation, smaller 2BRs are going for somewhat less, while the larger ones are going for $1.1 million and up. And these prices have been holding steady for quite a while.
Absolutely beautiful apartment in a primo location. Looks wonderful for a couple / a couple with a child.
I’ve been veering much more towards Team Bear over the last couple of years but definitely wouldn’t be surprised to see this place go for ask or close to it.
Very pretty, though, as others have pointed out, the kitchen is verrrrry narrow. And there isn’t even a deck, which, for a million bucks, I’d be pretty insistent upon. I’d also like to see a bathroom and am wondering if more than a baby or little one could call that second bedroom home. I’d put a murphy bed into the study for guests.
Given that entire houses are going for just over twice that in nice parts of Park Slope, I’m a bit surprised by the price tag. Anyone else? Is the market ‘coming back’ this aggressively this quickly?
Moving out of Brooklyn. Had enough of the inflated real estate.

Have fun in Nevada.
Sold for $948K in July 2006. 1,250 sq ft (25 x 50 bldg) per floor, so that puts the ask around $796 psf. Def not a future candidate for price chopping IMO.
Nice looking place. I had drinks last night with a friend who is a VP at Corcoran in Brooklyn Heights and he said he’s noticing that BH isn’t as sought after as it was before the housing bust. He said that it used to be the 1st or 2nd neighborhood people from Manhattan asked about and now he said it’s more like 3 or 4.
I think this VERY anecdotal info might have something to do with what I’m seeing as properties in BH going for quite a bit less than a couple years ago…moreso than other Brownstone neighborhoods. Clearly Wall Street has had an affect on the townhouse prices, but I guess that’s all trickling down.
am actually surprised that a 2+ BR with all that space is going for under a million in BK hts…
I really like this place – very pretty, the kitchen is cute need a new stove – although it’s a bit narrow
