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?

Mickey Mouse just went into contract on this place. Heard Daffy Duck will shack up with the Mick. Guess Mini was just his beard.
those mortgages would not resolved. they are all currently outstanding. he is 5mm in debt on this place.
Why do brokers sponsor this site when their clients’ listings are relentlessly trashed?
This pricing reflects the egomaniacal, testosterone-overload that prevails in the I-Banker world. It’s the omnipotent frat-boy mentality at its finest. Good luck bud.
The big sharks are all in BH. Some of the more “bohemian” sharks have even bought in Park Slope. Cobble Hill? A group of four 30-something Manhattan bankers who live in my building, and who I was just having a cigarette with, asked me where Cobble Hill was when I mentioned this HOTD… go figure.
5:49 – actually Tribeca and the west village are now more expensive than the UES. I know because I have a friend who just bought on one of the fanciest blocks on UES because downtown was too expensive. The tides have turned – everyone wants to be “hip”. (not saying that Cobble Hill is, but certainly more so than Bk Heights)
And whoever said big money would never consider Bklyn is absolutely wrong. I know a couple of hedge fund managers in Cobble Hill.
I know many many more are in Greenwich and manhattan, but still, the tides have turned a bit in that regard as well.
But of course price does seem pretty crazy.
Greedy brokers and flippers once again… I hope this sits on the market long enough for both the flipper and the owner to go bankrupt.
Crack-led.
How do you think the price setting occurred on this listing? Owner-led or broker-led? Just wondering…
