House of the Day: 564 Henry Street
This brownstone listing at 564 Henry Street in Carroll Gardens has its work cut out for it, especially with a price tag of $2,300,000. If the sellers, who’ve owned the four-story house for 35 years, had just left it alone it would probably be having more luck than it is now, but let’s just say…

If the sellers, who’ve owned the four-story house for 35 years, had just left it alone it would probably be having more luck than it is now, but let’s just say that some of the interior design decisions they made are probably working against it.

And sorry for the off-topic post, but this house it just silly.
About the dings and scratches… Can I just say that those “Bumper Badgers” are the stupidest invention ever!! And at $40+ a pop, the inventor must be friggin’ overjoyed to have tapped into such a large population of idiots!
How is a rubber mat strapped to you bumper attractive?
Not to mention, it DOESN’T EVEN PROTECT YOUR BUMPER! Most bumper nicks are not in the middle of your bumper! A person can hit your bumper straight on repeatedly and there probably won’t be any evidence… it’s the corners. You squeeze in and out of tight parking and it’s the corners of the bumper that will be nicked.
So dumb. I wish I were part owner of the Bumper Badger company.
Brooklyn Heights is really a part of Manhattan.

If you say so, Minard.
Brooklyn Heights is really a part of Manhattan.
Most people in the rest of Brooklyn have cars even though they may not use them every day. Most take their chances parking it on the street, suffering the inevitable dings and scratches. It is something you put up with and don’t think too much about until you start talking about houses in the two million dollar price range.
in wrong neighborhood if looking for garage.
I see the Ohio transplants are logging in today. You can spend $12M on a TH in the West Village (or
$6M in Brooklyn Heights) and you ain’t getting a parking spot.
Not a lot of recent or nearby comps, but there was a 4-family around the corner that sold early last year for $2M off a 2.05 ask. 208 Carroll Street is a former HotD; bigger (20×70 v. 20×58) and WAY WAY nicer.
I sometimes wonder why Corchran and Brown Harris Stevens are always kicking PDE’s butt when it comes to brownstone and townhouse listings in Brooklyn. They’ve been here long enough and have the right locations that you would think they would make more of a dent. But if pricing this poor is any indication of their expertise, maybe not such a big mystery.
Sometimes buyer’s insist on an unrealistic starting price. I see this one going through death by a thousand cuts unless they get real – and the sooner the better.
Dave, even though this is Brooklyn not Chicago or San Francisco, you know all your friends will ask you: the house has a garage right?
There are many in Brooklyn that do.
If I even had that type of money to drop on a place like this, trust and believe my car note will be at least $900 a month. So I want a parking space to accompany my 7 figure home. Simple as that.
$2MM, $3MM, $4MM, $5MM…95% of these places don’t have parking!!!!
This is brooklyn, not Chicago.
