Last night there was an open house for the King Richard Carriage Houses, a Red Hook development comprised of five townhouses that were created by converting a garage on King Street. The townhouses, which range in price from $750,000 for a 1,000-square-foot spread to $1.15 million for a 2,000-square-foot residence, are pitched as follows: “Five exclusive loft style carriage houses encompass modern day living with old world charm. Sixteen foot ceilings and extra large windows allow airy natural light to fill this flowing space.” Click through for an interior pic.

  1. Agree w/ FatLenny — these could have been nice. Outside in interesting, but boy did they fall down when doing the interiors. Kitchens look like a typical low-to-mid range rental upgrade; bathroom is hideous. They didn’t even need to spend much more — just do something that looks modern and in fitting with the loft style; create a real look to the place.

    What is in there now makes the whole product look cheap and bolted together. Floor plan doesn’t help much either — the “dining room” on the second floor? That seems practical…

    In any event, given the finish and location, the price seem insane. $800,000 would be a rich price.

  2. Love the outside doors, the indoor garages (for that Batman-loving 35-year-old boy) and the concrete floors (though I do hope they are heated); absolutely hate the cabinetry and the odd window placements.

  3. “The once industrial dockside neighborhood that inspired “On the Waterfront?” Wasn’t that Hoboken?!

    The kitchen is awful! Ugh how common! Look at those awful cabinets that have nothing to do with the interior. They couldn’t add a window above that sink rather than the sky?!- and why no pictures of the terraces? Are the concrete floors heated? They better be at these prices.

    And excuse me most bownstones are light and airy!

    I do like the garage that will house the escape mobile.
