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?

There’s something off about this house. The proportions don’t seem quite right.
But they might get the price. The house is across the street from possibly the hottest public school in Brooklyn, PS 29. That’s a savings of six years’ of private school (currently about $30K per year per kid) for the owner, plus a premium in the rent. I’ve known people who rent for a year in 29’s district just to get a seat there.
I think we need to send someone to investigate.
Oh, and no Ditto, the floors are hardwood. Unless it is the best damned laminate I’ve ever seen.
BRG, there are two similarly configured and styled kitchens in this house, one on the garden, and one on the parlor. Furthering the confusion is their having stripped the wallpaper in the parlor kitchen. The are using an old picture.
I’ve always liked this house, but it is overpriced by at least half a million. IMO.
seems pricey?? i guess i’ll state the obvious – it’s outrageous! for that money and you have a tenant on the top & bottom floors – so you are living between tenants – which means that the middle 2 floors are either oddly blocked off or you have to keep all of your doors locked – i know someone who does this and i found it rather odd to be sitting in the living room behind a locked door b/c of tenants.
I just don’t get these prices downtown. You get less house for more money… HOTD in Crown Heights starts looking better everyday.
Christ I hope not ditto. That’s a deal killer.
I was so confused with the kitchen photos. Similar cabinets and ranges.
#1 shows a kitchen with ugly wallcovering.
#4 shows a kitchen with bare walls.
The ranges are also different, one with red knobs, one with black.
Looks great, but this is just the sort of property that’s going to be hard hit. If I’ve got the means to buy a $4 mil. home, I probably won’t want to live in a 2 bed duplex. I’m sorry they paid so much in 2006, but this just feels like a $3 mil rather than 4 mil home. I think they’re going to have to be happy with a small loss. (and yeah, that’s a 10k-plus range…)
