House of the Day: Cobble Hill 4-Family Brick
We liked the look of this Cobble Hill brick house from the outside but the listing is thin on pictures. Allegedly the mechanicals have been recently updated but no word on what the interior aesthetics are )other than mention of some exposed brick walls which, while not worrisome on their own, can be indicative of…
We liked the look of this Cobble Hill brick house from the outside but the listing is thin on pictures. Allegedly the mechanicals have been recently updated but no word on what the interior aesthetics are )other than mention of some exposed brick walls which, while not worrisome on their own, can be indicative of a reno that removed original details). The legal 4-family is currently configured with an owner duplex and two two-bedroom rentals. The price of $1.5 million sounds pretty good for this nabe though we’re not sure exactly what this stretch of Warren Street is like. Hoping some of you can shed some light on how this place stacks up.

sorry – you’re right. Corcoran has 492 and 494 for sale (same price). This one is 482.
Looks like new bldg. will be going up close to corner of Bond in what was a parking lot.
I’m sure it’s a very nice house, but $1.5 million for a block between two large housing projects is crazy. Plus high taxes to boot. Being on a block with little through-traffic can be nice in certain neighborhoods, but not when you hear gun-shots from either side at night.
The London housing bubble has already popped … before you plunk down that kind of money on a less-than-prime block, read this:

I looked at this house. Very nice. The rental units are in great shape. The owners duplex is nice, but needs some finishing touches. I spoke to some of the other owners on the block. I was told this block is highly owner occupied and that several of the houses in the neighborhood that have refinanced in the recent years usually have taxes comparable to this property. I was impressed by how quiet it was on the block. Because it’s not a through street like Bergen and Dean, there wasn’t all the trucks, buses and other traffic I’ve noticed on some of the other streets .
I know for a fact this is not the same house as the ones for sale by Corcoran because I went to look at the properties Corcoran had for sale after looking at this one.
My wife and I just started our search, but if this property is still available when we get closer to committing, we will probably make an offer. Too bad for the sellers that they put it on the market in the midst of a heat wave.
this is 482 Warren. Is strange that taxes are so high (C/O of 4 family dated 1975).
Most other 4 families have taxes 1/2 of this.
If he gets that price,then mine’s for sale too – better location, about same sq ft., also 4 fam. used as 3, and less that 4k in taxes.
i went in this house too bad the projects surround the home and you hear gunshots at night. other than that it is a nice home except the owners duplex is small and you can not have a 4 family in it. besides that the taxes are very very high somewhere near $8500.00 yr crazy
If this is Warren between Bond and Nevins, that’s Boerum Hill (and almost Gowanus, if you count that as a valid neighborhood). It’s actually a very pleasant stretch of road but in between two sets of projects and with no thru street; you have to walk either Baltic or Wyckoff (Wyckoff being much better) to get to Hoyt Street, where Warren picks up again.
Not so sure that this listing is the same one as Corcoran and others between the projects.
Could this be between Smith and Hoyt?
Right, not Cobble Hill at all. Warren St. between Bond/Nevins.
Corcoran has both this house and the one right next door -owned by same person-
for sale- 1st together now separate. Both same price. They also have a smaller $999 house avail on same block.
The block does deadend (not a thru street) on both sides to projects.
Not to say it is unattractive block. It does have most attractive examples (several) of ‘new’ in context brownstones I’ve seen anywhere.
nice house, but on the block of warren between the two sets of projects. been on the market for weeks now, but just became an open listing recently.
