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?
Magnificent Townhouse & Carriage House [Brown Harris Stevens]
Have you lost your mind? Nicest house on the market? Hardly. You must be on the in with the broker since you seem to focus on her listings. First the S. Portland, now this. It’s a nice regular refinished townhouse. Top floor isn’t even finished. Price is at least 2 to 3 million dollars too high even in a good market. You could buy a house AND a carriage house in Brooklyn Heights for that money. It would be a record by close to 3 million in Cobble Hill by the way. What a joke! Have you actually seen the house or are you judging it by the pix and the broker’s hype? There is a sucker born every minute. It’s an embarrassing price.

“no garden to plant”…
Um…if a buyer really plunked down this kind of dough…they ain’t worrying about planting.
First of all there would be someone coming in to do it all.
Second, this dream-purchaser would probably not even be there much or at all during the summer. I know people who only want their professionally landscaped yards to look good for them in early spring and fall when they’re “back” from the summer.

The only “comp” I can think of is the 35 foot wide on Remsen street in the Heights, which was amazing, had a huge yard, and a separate Carriage House. As I recall, that was listed at 10M, but I don’t think it got that. Since this is Cobble Hill and the financial scene is looking pretty dim, I’d bet it goes for well under the asking. But who knows.
Nope–this package is worth $6 million TOPS. It’s not Brooklyn Heights.
a very nice corner house with a 1 car garage on kane just sold for $3.1. this place is almost twice as big and can park 3 more cars, but i don’t think that’s worth an additional $5.65 million. is there a more expensive townhouse on the market in Brownstone Brooklyn today? it would have to overlook the promenade in the heights for this price.
The price is a little embarrassing…ugh.
Good luck to them (?)…but I doubt it will/can sell for this price.
Give me some of what the sellers are taking. Might help me unwind.

If I had that dough, I’d much rather have the Brooklyn Heights location.
The carriage house overlooks Verandah Place, not the front of the main house- it’s a full block in depth and that is on another street. Amazing location, gorgeous house and an amazing price. My guess is it’s perfect for a Wall Street type or celeb and if you have the money why not, certainly there’s nothing else quite like it.
Brownstoner, you forgot to do GMAP and Property Shark links.
