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?

Mssr. Lafeve is correct about the door. I had not seen that it was landmarked. This is why i got my facade done and replaced my door this year. My block is calendared and I hear it’s being accelerated.
yes, we saw this house about a month ago. who could forget that dining room?
A landmarks approved front door may set you back 6 to 10 thousand depending on how elaborate the design needs to be.
No biggie, and well worth it.
keeping the lower level as a guest apartment with a tiny convenience kitchen is a good idea. I wonder if the facade has been painted. If so, one would need to deal with that as well. Stripping the paint off the facade and repointing the brick could run into some bucks.
Egads, that dining room looks like Laura Ashley exploded inside it.
Didn’t we see this house not long ago?
I really like the dining room.
Change the front door and paint it and the window casings black..$3,000 a most
Strip the DR wallpaper and paint it.
Make the basement level into the rental unit and keep the top three floors for yourself. Who wants to spend $2MM and have tenants walking through their house???
Is there no cellar below this basement unit????
Being a landlord of two units while next to the boiler is clearly a good investment for your 2.2 mil while your and your tenants income is shrinking. What a great bargain! Hurry, hurry!
I think that dining room is effin tacky as all getout, but if you’re a super rich grandma looking to blow your retirement cash, this is the look for you.
The exterior is blah.
No one looking to spend $2.25 mil is going to
a) want to keep decor, or
b) want 2 tenants
let the price drops begin…
$2 Million Dollars to have to walk past the Boiler Room to get to the Master Bedroom. And when that sucker kicks in, the humming will lull you to sleep.
