We’re generally pretty skeptical about the brownstone listings on Craigslist and so don’t spend much time weeding through all the noise. We came across this Crown Heights “mansion” (their word, not ours) and thought it might have some potential (we’re a sucker for a good turret). Anyway, it’s probably a little overpriced at $899,000 given the neighborhood and the fact that this block doesn’t look like it has any particular charm. Still, if the claim of being “loaded with original details” has any truth to it, it might be worth a look. We don’t know anything about the brokerage firm, Apartment and Homes, either. Caveat Emptor.
