House of the Day: 462 Henry Street
The brownstone at 462 Henry Street in Cobble Hill, which was shown for the first time yesterday, changed hands in late 2004 for $1,500,000. Since then, the owners have done a very high-end renovation of the lower owner’s duplex; there are three rental apartments on the top two floors. So, nice house, nice location, but…
The brownstone at 462 Henry Street in Cobble Hill, which was shown for the first time yesterday, changed hands in late 2004 for $1,500,000. Since then, the owners have done a very high-end renovation of the lower owner’s duplex; there are three rental apartments on the top two floors. So, nice house, nice location, but is it gonna fetch the full asking price of $2,500,000 in this market? The closest comp is 459 Henry Street across the street, a house in much worse shape which sold last year for $1,730,000. Did anyone go to the open house?

BTW, I’m the commenter who originally called the Kitchenaid appliances. My parents happen to have that fridge, and I have that range –great products the both of them. I’ve had the range since it came out almost two years ago, and I’ve never had an issue. My parents, who renovated about a year ealier, got a Viking, and indeed have had to have it serviced a couple of times. The Kitchenaid is a great gas cooktop, and the oven heats evenly for a full sie–we use one if not both of them every day. Since we’re on the subject, I went with the Fischer Paykel dish drawers, which are a revelation.
I also think I have a handle on those cabints–higher-end Kraftmaid (Home Expo, not Home Depot)–the crown moldings look very familiar.
I think the place looks great. I pointed out the appliance brands because the writeup said “very high end” renvo. To me, “very high end” means stuff that I can’t afford. If you all disagree, so much the better, as far as I’m concerned!
That is an excellent idea.
of course this will sell at this price.
geez people, do you know anything about real estate? appliances, subways, zzzzz. it’s a nice house in cobble hill — one of the most expensive areas of brooklyn. zoned for 29. Yesssss. this will sell.
After I buy this house I am going to buy the MTA and then create a new subway stop and a new subway, which I will call the Me-line, because it will take me to and from where ever I want to go.
“The folks who buy this house will probaly not use the subway very much.”
WTF do you mean?
If I buy this house I will no longer commute. I will just stay at home each day and play with my appliances. They’re lovely appliances.
The folks who buy this house will probaly not use the subway very much. I find the distance away from the subway a plus. I think that in general that is why Carroll Gardens was always nice. No subways.
The subways are pure torment.
By far the worst thing about NYC.
Pure grundge and uglyness.
Until you have live on “the other side” you don’t know what living really is.
