We’re digging this Crown Heights 4-story, 4-family brownstone. The recent renovation appears to have been very respectful of the lovely original details, though we don’t understand why someone would renovate and keep the building configured as a 4-family. At least create an owner’s duplex in this market. We also wish they’d done something about the white windows which detract significantly from the beauty of the facade. The house is on an extra-deep lot on a block that sounds stable. The valuation comes out to less than $300 a foot, but the asking price of $1.1 million seems pretty high on an absolute basis. We recall that only one-family houses in pristine historic shape have fetched over a million bucks on this side of the park. Are we wrong on that?
