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?

We have a mix of appliances in our kitchen. All domestic mid-range brands, and then one European, the Bosch dishwasher. The one we are least pleased with is the Bosch dishwasher. It cleans well, it’s quiet, but the design flaw in many Bosh dishwashers (and Bosch clothes washers too from what I hear) is they don’t drain completely so hot water mixed with food micro-particles sits in a well in the bottom of the dishwasher and after about a day it start to smell, as my husband finally described it, like the Mouth of Hell. Yes, I do rinse out the filter. That’s not the problem. The filter doesn’t even ever have any food in it. We rinse food off dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. The problem is simply the stupid design.
It also costs a lot more money and is a PITA to repair European appliances. To each his own, but as for us, this dishwasher is the last European appliance I ever buy. We were far more happy with our high-end Kenmore dishwasher we’d installed in our old place.
BTW….Just doing a little research here for all the appliance snobs in the crowd…
Kitchenaid Series II dishwasher = $1400 bucks
Bosch Dishwasher = $850.00
“i can walk a block in less than a minute”
So, can I, but should I if I paid $2.5M? In the worst heat of the summer, in the snow, in the rain, after working ten hours and then trying to get home from the kind of Manhattan job that allows one to buy such a house, I don’t want to ride the worst subway line and still have to walk so far. Therefore, a house closer to the subway and on a better route is worth more money.
Have KitchenAid/ and GE in the last 5 years and are both are crap. That said the appliance in a non issues when looking at property in this area. You usually put in your own eventually. But what disturbs me more from the photos – Where did the fireplaces go? Having lived in CH browonstones most of my life, there not being there is a little like missing a limb, even if there are non-working.
i lived in cobble hill – quick walk to the F, no?
also, i can walk a block in less than a minute, so don’t think that it’s a real concern.
the appliance thing is total nonsense! ridiculous!
stick with solid american brands like GE – they work and work well. the fancy stuff is fine i guess, but many could care less.
Hmmm…I don’t quite understand the over-emphasis on appliances. If I were moving to a new home, I wouldn’t want someone else’s appliances, I’d buy new ones. When I do my kitchen over, I’m buying good quality appliances that are not over the top… e.g., KitchenAid or GE Profile. They do the job admirably. Same for painting…it used to be routine to repaint a house when moving in…if only to freshen up the place. So why worry about what colors the rooms are painted?
