House of the Day: 24 Cheever Place
A reader flagged this listing on Cheever Place for us, calling it “optimistically priced” and we’d have to agree. Cobble Hill’s purdy and all, but close to $2 million for a three-floor house built in the 1970s with no particular character to recommend it? Pass. And you’d think big swingers Leslie Marshall and James Cornell…

24 Cheever Place [Corcoran] GMAP P*Shark
the house is in a beautiful, tranquil area. Great for strolling. People moving from manhattan won’t mind the BQE’s hum. It might even be a welcome relief from the horn-honking and sirens of city traffic. I’ve seen 2 bedroom duplex condos in that nabe sell for over a million (and that was 2 years ago). Two mill might be a stretch though.
sorry but I’d rather pay 2M for a brownstone in a better area like Fort Greene or Park Slope. Carroll Gardens ain’t all that and you are sitting too close to the BQE to hear the trunks come barrelling through. I like Cheever Place but if i’m gonna spend 2M it ain’t gonna be on this house. You go Ms Marshall and Mr Cornell…yeah maybe to another place
Not only is Cobble Hill “Purdy”, Cheever Place is one of those almost-no-traffic streets that run parallel to Court st. A nice spot.
This house is between Henry & Hicks, a half block from the BQE trench…you can here the constant hum of traffic even when you’re two blocks away from it. For that much money, hope the house is thoroughly sound-proofed!
I’ve been in the lower level duplexes and they are actually nice, if characterless. Most of the rent roll is definitely from that unit, not the the upper simplex units.
Is that a precursor to the fedders special. The 2nd floor looks like it has 2 ac’s sitting on top of each other. A little strange. Having said that, I like the three windows in a row.
I guess 30 years from now, our current garden variety fedders complex will be worth mucho dinero.
And someone will argue that it fits the character of houses built at the turn of the 21st century.
Dont get me started on Corcoran
I don’t know how you can say it doesn’t have character. Granted it’s not a brownstone- and I hate the garage but it is seems very much of it’s era: a perfect building for some ironic hipster wearing Urban Outfitter’s distressed, faux-vintage t-shirts (if they can dig up the scratch…)
I’m going to guess that that’s the rent for all 3 units
