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?

I also think sq footage is understated and the asking price is understandable.
“the house did change hands just four months ago; unfortunately, public records do not reveal the price” – that would because there was no price. Looks to be estate transfer.
Owner was Camareri (or spelled something like that) – maybe was of bakery fame?
Maybe they are saying 3000 square feet because the other 600 square feet is occupied by a renter, an old battle-axe with 4 grandchildren all of whom are lawyers and connections to the mob.
A bunch of years back, I looked at a first floor rental on the other side of the street that also had one of those New Orleans balconies. I wonder why there are so many on that particular block.
The house is 22 x 40 x 4 floors. That’s 3520 square feet. Get you facts straight, dude.
Does anyone know if those kinds of balcony/fire escapes are legal? I would love to replace my crappy fire escape with something like that.
Zamboni, stromboli, ravioli.
Jerri could bring a dictionary so I could learn how to spell “Carroll Gardens” and a bottle of JD so he can get up his courage to sign in again. 😉
What should Jerri bring?
Nokilissa, all that while debating whether width is more important than length and wondering why we didn’t scoop up the newly listed IM Pei interior designed Townhouse on 3rd Street instead. But we best be advised to wear hockey helmets if we’re going to drink and skate. I’ll bring the helmets, you bring the mint juleps and Dave can bring the Zamboni (Dave, sorry to disappoint, but I’m referring to an ice cleaning machine and not some hot Italian guy you might pick up in Carol Gardens).
