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?

I don’t really see this as a three-family layout although the wacky realtor describes it that way. I love the idea of a small kitchen upstairs next to the playroom. The kids can have their meals there, or you can invite friends or family to stay there as a nice separate little apartment. What’s not to love? And the 25-foot width is very, very nice. It will be interesting to see what it sells for. It is one of the nicest properties showcased here in a while.
BRG, you may certainly use my “of this vintage” line and you may also use my unique spelling of “awkwqard”.
This is really silly. A 3-family house, with the owner’s apartment, because that’s all it is, an APARTMENT, sandwiched between two tenants, for $4 million???? Come on–that price would be considered ridiculous at the height of the market. Add to that the current state of the economy, and this listing becomes outright laughable.
All subfloors are wood plank (until plywood came along). Not all plank floors are subfloors.
“a house of this vintage.”
I like this phrase very much , can I use it Sam?
Yes sam. You could basically say that the older the house the wider the flooring!!!
slopefarm – how is the joke on me, when you just proved my point. my sub floor is wood plank and we decided to refinish & stain them, since it was saving us a ton of money instead of putting a new wood floor on top of it – since this is the new ‘in’ thing now. so i have that same look and it was my subfloor. i also have parquet covering it in the dining & living room which was in great shape – we just refinished it.
Most of the Civil War era houses had wide plank flooring. Parquet did not come in until the 1880’s. I see nothing tacky about wide plank floors in a house of this vintage.
The kitchen is probably southern yellow pine and I think it looks nice especially being wide. I doubt that any of it is laminate. I hope I’m not wrong.
