House of the Day: 143 Amity Street
We won’t dispute the listing’s claim that 143 Amity Street is a “timeless brownstone beauty,” because that’s certainly what the Cobble Hill house is, no doubt about it. But the asking price of $3,900,000 comes in at over $1,000 per foot which seems quite pricey for a 17-footer whose kitchen is “ready for a new…
We won’t dispute the listing’s claim that 143 Amity Street is a “timeless brownstone beauty,” because that’s certainly what the Cobble Hill house is, no doubt about it. But the asking price of $3,900,000 comes in at over $1,000 per foot which seems quite pricey for a 17-footer whose kitchen is “ready for a new touch,” no? We’re not even sure this house would fetch the ask if it were located on the Brooklyn Heights side of the tracks either. Thoughts?

a million dollars buys an awful lot of taxi rides to “fun” neighborhoods
i would agree with north heights. park slope ain’t too much fun either. most Slopers take themselves very seriously. if you wanna have fun live where the singles are, east village, west village, billyburg, chelsea,
Despite what some on this blog wish to be true, the people who are looking for “fun” in a neighborhood are by and large not the ones buying townhouses (and setting pricing) in either Brooklyn Heights or Cobble Hill.
I agree that cobble hill really at this point shouldn’t really be priced lower than bkln heights – sightly less convenient and consistently beautiful but MUCH more fun. and still easy walk to all subways. still price is really annoying.
great house, prime block, it does not get much better than this in Brooklyn. I say 3 million easy.
The floorplan shows what looks like an elevator on the first floor but it abviously is not one, so what is that box with the X in the parlor floor closet?
>Brooklyn Heights without the tourists and Court St workers.>
Also without the Promenade and the subways.
But I get your point. Still, I vote 2.5 mil.
Don’t see why this would go over 2.5 given the comps.
it’s my block and i think it’s pretty fabulous.
Give me a break! Only 17’wide. So what if it’s in boring white bread yuppie Cobble Hill. That’s not a fabulous block.
