HOTD: Brooklyn Heights Conversion Candidate
Moving along from small-ticket to big-ticket, take a look at this corner listing from the Developers Group. Weighing in at 4,800 square feet, it’s a lot of building for the $3.595 million price tag given the Brooklyn Heights address.

Moving along from small-ticket to big-ticket, take a look at this corner listing from the Developers Group. Weighing in at 4,800 square feet, it’s a lot of building for the $3.595 million price tag given the Brooklyn Heights address. The reason is obvious: It’s been chopped up into five apartments with substandard (at least for this nabe) finishes and fixtures with nary an original detail in sight. The good news is that it will be delivered vacant so that someone with the cash and the patience could probably create a pretty sweet single-family home with the bonus of a double garage and yard space to boot.

Interesting — this was originally on the market last May for $4.25 million; Developers Group got the listing for the current price in November, and according to their listing, “the owner is considering offers.” My guess is that it must have a number of mechanical problems in addition to the obvious renovation/conversion items — otherwise it seems like a good idea — good location (Joralemon and Henry), cheaper than a one-family in good shape, and with the possibility to make it really special if you have the money to spend.
The mechanical room is nicely done.
this listing has been around for a while. “hot” is not what comes to mind when meeting Mr. Heras.
there’s nothing quite like an “idealic locale.”

I agree, if you’ve already lost all the original detail, it does leave you with an open slate to do whatever you like…
Possibly worth checking out just coz the realtor is hot!
i think it could actually be amazing – if you had the cash – i know this may be sacrilige for some on this site but sometimes it looks really beautiful to have a clean modern interior in an old structure – i feel that way less when all the details are there, but if you have a clean slate, why not?
It’s a little depressing that for $3.6 million you get interiors like that but I guess that Brooklyn Heights for you.
