Wowza! This five-bedroom, four-bathroom townhouse rental at 489 Henry Street in Cobble Hill is really something. The listing (which comes straight outta the Brownstoner Marketplace) boasts a 20-foot-high open atrium, complete with a ‘glass wall system’ that opens completely into the patio, backyard, and guesthouse. And, at 5,500 square feet, there’s plenty of space to spread out. The modern approach may not satisfy townhouse traditionalists, but the home is pretty green-friendly, with a solar power system. The ask is $18,000 a month, rental prices we’ve featured in Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights but not yet Cobble Hill. What do you think?

$18,000 is about the mortgage payment on a 3.5 million dollar house.
Not sure, but I’d say this is more than a 3.5 million dollar house. And there are plenty of people who want to rent and not be tied to owning a 150 year old house. Especially if you already own 3 or 4 other properties around the globe like the person who will most likely rent this one.
I have no problem announcing that I’m jealous of the person(s) who can afford to drop this much coin per month and live in this house!
Emily, where is the widget? I’d like to put in an opening bid.

jealousy, like self-righteousness, and arrogance are among the long list of human imperfections.
now now, dont nag
I didn’t mean you CGfan…
Rob’s posts are all laced with jealousy. He makes fun of EVERYTHING, but has also announced he wish he were rich. It’s just kinda sad to hear someone tear everything to shreds because they’re jealous.
11217 I don’t see any jealousy here. I just think it’s silly to pay $18,000/month in rent because nothing else available at $12,000/month meets your very high standards. That’s $72,000 a year you could give to a charity or award a college scholarship with. I don’t get needing to spend so much on rent each month.
That’s a helluva lotta space. Love the master bath and the fact that there’s a terrace off the master bedroom. Anyone who decides to rent this, please adopt me. I’m noisy, but I’ll cut it out.
I think I could get over my traditionalist ways! The rent is sadly completely out of range.
