There’s no lack of rustic atmosphere at this carriage house at 172 Pacific Street in Cobble Hill, which is bursting with dark wood built-ins, beams and exposed brick. There’s also a lavish kitchen with granite counters and a fancy stove, a big fireplace and a heating stove.
Set up as a two-family, one of the units was a former Rental of the Day. Now the ask for the whole house is $7,995,000.
We’re pretty sure the Cobble Hill record is the freestanding Greek Revival mansion at 491 Henry, purchased for $6,750,000 in February 2013 by Rag & Bone cofounder Marcus Wainwright and model Glenna Neece. Have prices really gone up that much in a year?

“Garage with monthly spots conveniently located across the street.”
i.e. broker-speak for “The beautiful arched windows in your new $7 million luxe property look out on an ugly surface parking lot smack across the street. A cyclone fence topped with barbed wire completes the view.”
Anyway, snark aside, I think this is a lovely home with great bones, notwithstanding whether or not you like the current interior decorating. However, the price seems absurd. I’m sure it could fetch many millions, just not as many as the owner is asking.
NOPE
Agreed. And for nearly $8 million clams at this location, I’d also want at least twice as many habitable square feet.
True, I had the same thought. But on the other hand, for $7.9 million, wouldn’t you want to buy on a block that has another nice 175-year-old house across the street and not a parking-lot-soon-to-be-a-2-year-construction-site-and-thereafter-an-ugly-condo? (Yes I get it, the other carriage house is DIRECTLY across, and it’s lovely too, but no getting around the fact that there’s a chainlink-enclosed lot just next to that.)
That’s down the block. The surface lot is one lot over from directly across.
Looks to me like this is your “typical” NYC carriage house. Would love to see the background on the firehouse, they’re probably just mis-reading some old directory.
Lol a mythical. Like a unicorn crapping skittles?
Actually I only count about 3100 sf. Maybe 3200 sf if you count the solarium though I doubt that’s legal habitable space.
