350-Baltic-Street-010511.jpg
This new listing at 350 Baltic Street is not your standard Cobble Hill house. In addition to being quite small (17-by-30-foot footprint) and having a low price tag of $1,250,000, the house has an unusual configuration: Part of the second floor has been removed to create a double-height atrium on the parlor floor. An interesting idea in theory (the Curbed writer who highlighted the house earlier this week “kinda liked” the whole atrium thing) but it’s hard to know without visiting in person whether it was a smart call or just a destroyer of valuable living space. Anyone checked it out?

  1. Yes, down with bad art!

    No….I probably wouldn’t delete your comment even if I could.

    I just think that whatever problems that kitchen has, it doesn’t deserve to be called that word. That “great” word. Ick.

    Yeah, no vent, true. That’s a problem; I noticed it too. But, geez, that kitchen was made with love and it has mostly good features.

  2. It is Cobble Hill — but looks like it is across the street from a school. That always sucks. Not a bad price though. Will go for 1.1 and the new owner will make changes and then a tidy profit in 3 years.

  3. Looks like chaotic crap to me. Like they were trying way too hard and are way too impressed with their pseudo creativity. It’s not making it.

    Yeah, definite ’80s vibe.

    Baltic St is NOT Carroll Gardens.

  4. I’d do a lot of what brokelin said. Close up the atrium, add a full bath upstairs, and use some of the re-created spade for a laundry room and bigger closets for the rooms.

    In addition I think I’d remove the bathtub on the first floor and make that a half bath.
