House of the Day: $8.75 Million in Cobble Hill?
Holy Moly! This has got to be the nicest house on the market right now. It’s a 25-foot-wide Greek Revival house overlooking Verandah Park in Cobble Hill with a stand-alone carriage house in the rear. All in, it’s got 7,000 square feet of living space and enough parking space for four cars. Judging from the…
Holy Moly! This has got to be the nicest house on the market right now. It’s a 25-foot-wide Greek Revival house overlooking Verandah Park in Cobble Hill with a stand-alone carriage house in the rear. All in, it’s got 7,000 square feet of living space and enough parking space for four cars. Judging from the photos, there’s recently been a top-of-the-line renovation as well that preserved the house’s many original details while creating a beautiful, huge modern kitchen. Okay, so the desirability of the house ain’t in question. How about the price? Think $8.75 million will fly? This would have to be a record for Cobble Hill, wouldn’t it?

There are many good reasons to prefer Cobble Hill. But it doesn’t affect the fact that the park blocks of Park Slope are always going to have more inherent value than Warren St & CLinton
I would much prefer living on the lower east side than the upper east side, and probably so would many others on this blog, but it doesn’t change the fact that the best parts of the UES will maintain their value better.
Gee if I’m a moron how’s that chip on your shoulder? I’ve lived in both PS as well as CH; you I take it haven’t.
Go Elmhurst!
Forget cobble Hill & fort Greene – Bed Stuy rocks!
cobble hill is a tiny enclave. not even a neighborhood.
it’s just a little tiny patch of homes sandwiched between more established neighborhoods.
comparing it to park slope or the uws makes you look like a moron.
Different strokes and all anecdotal anyway. House overpriced by millions.
Having lived in Manhattan UWS (1999-2001), Park Slope (2001-2005) and since 2005 in Cobble Hill I feel qualified to speak on each area’s desirability. And I can say with out a shadow of a doubt Cobble Hill is way way way preferable to me and my family than Park Slope. It’s not that we have anything against PS it’s just that CH has everything and more than PS and is so much closer to Manhattan and will become closer still once AY is built.
The commute into Manhattan is a good 15-20 minutes less from CH than PS by either car or Subway.
i don’t live in park slope.
Believe what you want 1:16. If you lived anywhere outside of Park Slope, you would understand how many people would never consider living there.
