House of the Day: 229 Baltic Street
This townhouse at 229 Baltic Street in Cobble Hill just hit the market and it’s a doozy. The good news is that it’s a gorgeous place—lots of original detail and recently the subject of a top-notch renovation. The bad news? The asking price is $4,200,000, definitely at the high end of the range for something…
This townhouse at 229 Baltic Street in Cobble Hill just hit the market and it’s a doozy. The good news is that it’s a gorgeous place—lots of original detail and recently the subject of a top-notch renovation. The bad news? The asking price is $4,200,000, definitely at the high end of the range for something to the south of Atlantic Avenue. (Heck, it’s even quite a bit of dough in Brooklyn Heights these days.) Still, for some lucky bonus recipient looking for a beautiful house to move right into, this might just be the ticket.

I always wonder why people would put so much into renovating and decorating a house in 2006, only to sell it a few years later?
Does anyone have approximately $3.5M that I can borrow?
are you saying yesterday’s is a real steal?
What I find so staggering about the asking price is that the house isn’t that deep. Really to get up into the high 3’s low 4’s, you have to have at least 50 ft. depth on all levels. Yesterday’s house of the day is about 50ft away from this property and asking 2 million. I can’t imagine the finishes on this one are worth the extra 2.4mil…
Noki,
I was literally just sitting here STARING at the photos of Berkeley Place. It’s one of my favorite houses in the neighborhood.
The woodwork is drool worthy.
DIBS, is the St. Mark’s house the one we saw in CHN on the walking tour???
DIBS, which place is this? I’m a bit of a fan of St. Mark’s on most of its’ stretches…
One one, I could have you over for beers and BBQ in the backyard! Or we could simply sit and sip mint juleps in the foyer and gaze at the woodwork.
Dave,
I know you loved that St. Marks house, but I never really got the appeal. Judging from the listing history, I’m not the only one:
