Co-op of the Day: 110 Hicks Street, Reduced

Even blue chip nabes get the blues. This duplex in the brownstone at 110 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights was on the market with Citi-Habitats in late 2006 along with the apartment above it for a combined $2,850,000. It didn’t sell at the time, and the units showed up separately (with the option to combine) this fall. The larger, lower duplex was originally asking $2,400,000. After two months of no takers, however, the asking price was cut to $1,990,000 right before Christmas, bringing the combined price basically back to where it was in ’06. Here’s what we said about it at the time:

Granted it’s in prime Brooklyn Heights and the interior is nothing to sniff at, but it doesn’t have that somethin’ special (over-the-top historic detail, for example) that we think you need to justify that price in this configuration. We think it’s going to be hard to find someone with that kind of dough who wouldn’t prefer his own house.

Don’t see any reason why that logic wouldn’t still hold.
