It’s not everyday you see an historic townhouse for sale on Ebay, so we’ll bend the rules around here and take a look even though it’s located in New Jersey. We’ve been aware that there are troves of beautiful old buildings in enclaves like Lincoln Park, but hadn’t heard of an area called Paulus Hook where this gorgeous 1841 two-family frame rowhouse is on the block for a cool $1.55 million. Turns out there was also a small battle there during the Revolutionary War. Point is, though, that it’s closer to lower Manhattan than most of Brooklyn and, from the outside at least, has charm to spare. The interior is gonna need some love but has some decent bones. Did many of you Brooklyites consider Jersey City when you were in the market for a house?
