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.

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?

That’s a lot of cash to pay to live on Warren Street. It ain’t exactly Willow Street.
Since the target buyer is probably a Wall Streeter, it is worth noting that Merrill Lynch just reported a third quarter loss of over $2 Billion–it’s worst ever. I don’t think this year’s bonus season is going to be nearly a rich as last years.
Where’s Cobble Hill?
I’d rather sink 10 million into a house in Midwood.
1:38 must be the broker talking. What a joke. One Cobble Hill resident said she was offended by the price.
