House of the Day: 455 Henry Street
This house at 455 Henry Street has charm to spare (love that dining room!) and the Cobble Hill location’s just peachy. The kitchen’s the only thing shown in the listing that doesn’t really float our boat. The asking price of $2,250,000 feels a little high to us, especially since the house is less than 17…
This house at 455 Henry Street has charm to spare (love that dining room!) and the Cobble Hill location’s just peachy. The kitchen’s the only thing shown in the listing that doesn’t really float our boat. The asking price of $2,250,000 feels a little high to us, especially since the house is less than 17 feet wide and is configured as a three-family. What do you think?

Do three family’s typically demand less on the market?
This looks like a lovely house — and it’s in a beautiful neighborhood. The absence of a sub-basement, however, substantially diminishes its value.

I love the dining room. Stop bashing grannies.
Makes no sense:
Price to rent ratio -> Fail
Comparison to other houses (e.g. clinton st brownstones) ->Fail
Price to Income -> Fail
Price to Condo equivalent ->Fail
Somebody may buy it, but they might lose a ton of money on it as well
Smart move DIBS. And a good question — why no cellar?
