House of the Day: 167 Baltic Street
This 4,500-square-foot brick house at 167 Baltic Street in Cobble Hill was purchased by the current owners in 2006 for $2,750,000. It appears the three-family house was then renovated before being put back on the market last spring for $3,900,000; after not selling, the price was increased to $3,995,000. Some of the choices don’t work…

Some of the choices don’t work for us (the cabinetry is a little too dominating in our opinion but that could be because of the lack of furniture and decoration), but overall it looks like a good-quality job. Seems pricey though, no?

Biff–see NorthHeights list above.
Not every house in the Heights is a $6 million pad.
Agreed!
But if this house, 167 Baltic Street, were somehow transported to Brooklyn Heights, it would be a six million dollar house.
What is the sense in denying that Brooklyn Heights is very expensive? I don’t get it.
Many of the house that sold for 2 and 3 million in the Heights were either small or absolute dumps inside; owned by spartan WASP families some of whom had not renovated since the early 1960’s and some whom had never renovated.
36 grace Court is getting a whole new facade and has been gutted. 42 Garden Place is being gutted, 69 Joralemon STreet is 14 feet wide at most.
Sam, I did mean the cabinets. At least with those counters.

nyc87, do you remember the specific addresses? I don’t recall anything (entire homes) on either of those streets going for under $3MM recently.
24 Remsen Street sold for what? 10 million? OK, take away the carriage house and you have 6 million.
The Moonstruck house sold for what? 4 million? so it was recorded, who really knows? if it really sold for that it must have been a disaster inside, which is very possible.
There have also been recent sales on Willow Street and Garden Place for five million plus.
This ain’t Crown Heights or Fort Greene, you know? People on this blog forget about the premium payed for an elite location.
Agreed NorthHeights. I recall two of the last houses of this size in Bklyn Heights selling for below $3 million–one on Orange Street, and another on Cranberry Street. Both houses needed updating but were absolutely stunning and had great curb appeal. Not every house in the Heights is a $6 million pad.
This house wouldn’t have been $6 million in BH even in 2006-7. Only a small handful of super-houses on Columbia Heights or Remsen ever got those prices. This is just your average townhouse, not even a full lot deep.
Show me the houses that are selling for $6 million, please.
A house like this in Brooklyn Heights would be at least 6 million.
Location still matters.
