## Property Overview

A new townhouse residence by ECKSTROM.

On one of Cobble Hill’s most picturesque, tree-lined blocks, 487 Henry Street is a reimagined 19th-century townhouse—clear in vision, restrained in execution.

Built between 1844 and 1845 by Jacob Frost, the residence has been reimagined, developed, and designed by ECKSTRØM in collaboration with General Assembly. The original stoop, proportions, and rhythmic façade remain intact, while the interiors have been reconceived for present-day living, incorporating passive design principles to enhance energy efficiency, comfort, and environmental performance.

Spanning 6,271 square feet across five floors, the home offers five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two powder rooms, complemented by 2,024 square feet of private outdoor space. The house retains the hierarchy that defines classic townhouse living, while introducing a more open, connected layout.

The parlor level is centered around entertaining, with generous ceiling heights and a natural flow between living and dining. Below, the kitchen opens directly to the private garden, creating a more informal setting for the quiet rituals of daily life.

A restrained palette of materials runs throughout, defined by flat-sawn white oak floors and a mix of marble, walnut, and quartzite countertops. Custom millwork and sculptural elements add warmth, while larger architectural moves define the experience of the space. The stair serves as a central feature, anchored by a sculptural mahogany railing that connects each level.

Finishes include Waterworks fixtures, bespoke cabinetry with Blum hardware, and a refined Farrow & Ball palette, complemented by limewashed walls and millwork inspired by 19th-century interiors.

The residence also features a private wellness retreat with a fitness studio, sauna, and cold plunge.

Multiple family rooms, along with two outdoor kitchens and two landscaped roof decks with sweeping skyline views, support both everyday living and more private moments within the home.

A rare opportunity to own a crafted historic residence in Cobble Hill—conceived and developed by ECKSTRØM, New York City’s premier townhouse development atelier.

Based on house sales in Cobble Hill.

Square footage is recorded for only 7 of these 12 sales (58%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Floor areas are usually recorded for house sales, so this is a thin patch in the records rather than the norm.

A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Cobble Hill. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sale-to-list price**: 95.4% (10 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 60% (10 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 52 days (10 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 80 days (10 sales)

Based on house sales in Cobble Hill with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Sales data through October 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 tax rate yet. We calculated the tax for that year using the prior year’s rate, so treat it as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3003230004. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
