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.

4 million is a lot of clams!
Here i come to nitpick.
For $4 million dollars and all you get in the kitchen is a 7′ counter, a free standing range (the hood seems a bit low) and a refrigerator in the pantry!!
Also, the bathroom on the 3rd floor is odd. No sink in the room with the toilet??? You gotta do your business on the bowl, and then OPEN the door and go into the other side of the bathroom to wash your hands. Two bathrooms (one private for the master bedroom) would have been ideal.
Otherwise, it’s a beautiful house.
What color is the brick facade painted?
Lilac?
And the brownstone trim is painted, too?!
Painted white?!
Sheesh!
For 4.2M you think they’d strip the paint off for you.
Then it would look like the lovely neighboring buildings.
Or, is the paint hiding exterior cosmetic defects?
Welllll, it is just about wonderful in every way. Just about.
The kitchen and master bath were not completed along with the recent reno and will probably cost a cool 125k – maybe less – to finish (plans are included by a local and swanky architect). That combined with a price tag we thought easily 8 hundy over, AND our needing to get off the damned fence about listing our place again at God only knows what… you get the picture.
Cgar,
It’s right past Hicks on the North side of Atlantic. They’re only open Thursday-Sunday, but the couple who run the place have absolutely incredible taste and it’s VERY well priced. They clearly do really well, cause the stock turns over fast.
Really you should check it out. I’d say its one of the best antique/vintage stores in the city.
WOWOWOWOW!
now I loveee this place – I wish I had 4 million!
anyway – where are the pics of the kitchen???
that’s always my selling point
but seriously this place looks gorgeous and HUGE!
“We saw this on Sunday. Sigh.”
You’re not buying, I gather? We could be neighbors if you did!!
11217, where exactly is Holler and Squall? The ad says 71 Atlantic which means it should be directly across the street from me, but I’ve never noticed it. Is it new??
Swoon. I was SOOOOOO hoping Mister B would post this as HOTD this week. He did not disappoint.
We saw this on Sunday. Sigh.
