House of the Day: 12 Warren Place
We go from a 12.5-foot-wide house for $1,250,000 in the South Slope yesterday for to an 11.5-foot-wide house for $945,000 in Cobble Hill today. And while the South Slope house has about twice as much square footage, it can’t come close to comparing in terms of charm because the Cobble Hill house happens to be…
We go from a 12.5-foot-wide house for $1,250,000 in the South Slope yesterday for to an 11.5-foot-wide house for $945,000 in Cobble Hill today. And while the South Slope house has about twice as much square footage, it can’t come close to comparing in terms of charm because the Cobble Hill house happens to be located in one of the most charming spots in the entire city, Warren Place. Hopefully someone out there will be able to tell us what the highest price for one of these old Workingmen’s Cottages is. Given the great condition and quality of finish in this place, we won’t be surprised if the seller gets her price.

4:49.. happy to spend 1+ million to raise a family in “such a tiny space”? hmmm..
i agree 4:49.
when i see so many small families in park slope in 1 and 2 bedroom apts, i find it difficult to comprehend how someone with one or two kids wouldn’t be thrilled to call this place home.
i think the ones who bash the size are the ones who similarly think that if each child doesn’t have his/her own bedroom, bath and walk in closet, that they live below the poverty line…
geez, a lot of people (like me) would be happy to raise their child in this “eeensy” house. and, okay, it’s small but it is its own house, on three floors and with a small yard and two bathrooms (not to mention neighborhood, schools, etc). i guess it’s all a matter of where you’re coming from but i think many small families would be more than happy in “such a tiny space”.
4:38 that’s not true, in a bidding war you can beat the highest offer. unless it was a “best, sealed bid” deal, but it doesn’t sound like that
Absolutely charming if you’re name is
“Sleepy”, “Sneezy” or “Grumpy”…
It’s lovely, inside and out, all kidding aside, but such a tiny space… I bet it will fly though at that price
because of its location and charm.
4:23
methinks a slimeball buyer’s broker convinced the buyer to bid that high
funn, aint it…”mansion tax” for a “Workingmen Cottage”
4:23, the broker is not allowed to disclose what the offer is. Therefore, the higher bidder had to guess at their offer.
4:26 here.. i agree 4:31.. i apologize for not being clear.. i actually lived a few blocks away for a few years, and always loved those houses. just commenting on the arrogant tone of people saying it’s not in fact small (which it is, granted there’s nothing wrong with that!), but rather “cozy”. let’s just call a spade a spade..
also, anyone with kids knows how much fun it is to raise them in a “cozy” apt/house. no comments allowed from people WITHOUT kids, regarding how much space people WITH kids should live in, etc..
while it might not be for everyone, i’d say that if a bidding war has pushed the price over a hundred thousand over asking, some people do indeed like the charm of it.
ever heard the phrase, to each his own?
