House of the Day: 468 Henry Street
Despite having been chopped up into four units, the brownstone at 468 Henry Street in Cobble Hill appears to have retained much of its original detail (or at least the parlor floor, which is all that’s shown in the photos, has.)

Despite having been chopped up into four units, the brownstone at 468 Henry Street in Cobble Hill appears to have retained much of its original detail (or at least the parlor floor, which is all that’s shown in the photos, has.) Given the configuration, however, and the potential expense involved in turning it into a two-family, we suspect that the $2,600,000 asking price is a bit of a stretch for the 3,000-square-foot building. Interestingly, the house did change hands just four months ago; unfortunately, public records do not reveal the price. Thoughts?

Making a mint julep is not a task for any piker. it must have the exact proportion of alcohol to ice to make the pewter or silver cup (it has to be served in a pewter or silver cup) frost over just right. It is a delightful drink especially if one uses home-grown mint.
…and good Kentuky sour mash.
Thank you Cobblekrill.
And I have no recollection of having “no idea what Smith street was about” a few weeks back.
What does it mean to have no idea what a street is about? As an example, because I’m very familiar with Broadway, say, in the teens, but not so familiar with it as it streaks through midtown – because I don’t particularly like that part of the City – does that mean I’ve no idea what Broadway “is about”?
Streets can be long and change character several times and through different neighborhoods “my friend”.
7:18/Sam, I think you might be spot on.
I love the Moonstruck reference. And isn’t the house from the movie for sale in BH? Or was it pulled…
I think I’m going to have to rent the movie. That and Streetcar. All this talk of New Orleans is making me misty.
Mint julep anyone?
This is a nice house. I bid 2.3 million. another half mil will make it livable.
This house was on the market several months ago for $1.9million. Someone must have had second thoughts after closing the deal…
Re: “I wonder if that Idiot Noklissa…” Not knowing “what Smith Street is about” does not make you an idiot. On the other hand, calling people “idiots” based on their perfectly reasonable posts does actually make you a jerk.
I think these are short lots – only 80′ deep. To me that should mean a discount even if the house itself isn’t smaller
I wonder If that Idiot Noklissa even Knows where Henry st is? A few weeks Back she had no idea what Smith street was about now she Is commenting? You know nothing my friend.
Haha, 4:12! That’s a movie right there.
I think they’ll get 100k less than ask. Don’t ask why I say that, just a gut feel, and I’ve got quite a gut!
4:50: as in “Ronny Cammareri,” Nick Cage’s character in Moonstruck, who happened to work at Mazzola bakery just down the street?
Coincidence? Probably.
House looks amazing on the outside. To me this is one of the nicest blocks in Brooklyn. I love me some HENRY street.
