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?

Another note to the appliance snobs: Viking and Sub-Zero are annually within the top three of appliance brands in need of service within the first year of ownership, according to Consumer Reports magazine.
I thought kitchen Aide was high-end.
Shows you what I know.
I think this house is high end too.
perfectly nice.
I live across the steet (not the mentioned comp) and the walk is a very pleasant 8 minutes, about 4 blocks, to the subway. Not at all unpleasant unless it’s raining and you’ve forgotten your umbrella. 🙂
I don’t think the distance to the subway should have any effect on the price of this one. And this is coming from someone who spent 5 years living *above* the subway station before this, so considers myself among the spoiled- who normally complain about a 10 minute walk to the subway like some of the above posters…

on the whole, 3:46 kitchenaid and kenmore…the nicer models are just as expensive and high quality, if not moreso than their european made counterparts.
that was the point.
don’t argue with things that aren’t there.
if you hate kitchenaid because you have a gripe with the company…that’s fine. that’s your right.
but to suggest that because someone has inferior appliances simply because of that, is ignorant, at best.
Enough with the Appliances already! Sheesh.
Nice house, but as 3:10 points out, the buyer will be shelling out
2.5m for a 2br 1 ba duplex.
nyc.gov/acris click on “begin using acris” then click on “search property records” then click on “parcel identifier” and put in block 323 lot 3 and you will find it
KitchenAid makes more than one dishwasher model…different price points. Ditto for Kenmore & GE.
How do you find that info on nyc.gov?
Actually, when you work 10 hours, mostly at a desk more or less (or many, many more hours per day, as I was doing to afford my first apartment purchase), you really need that 10-15 minute walk to and from the subway – it is likely the only exercise you are getting during the week. The fresh air is good for you, too – the only fresh air you get all day. Make that “to” to subway, as you know you take a taxi or a black car home when you work late…
