House of the Day: Deal on Cottage Row Survivor

Maybe we’ve been smoking some of that wacky crack that changes hands on our corner, but this 1835 woodframe in Brooklyn Heights looks like a friggin’ steal at $1.6 million! The 3-story Federal, one of original houses on “Cottage Row”, is so dripping with old-world charm we don’t know where to begin. So we’ll just jump straight to the burning question: Given the location, why is this so cheap? Is it just the modest square footage? We think there will be lines of people tripping over themselves to get a piece of this action. If we hadn’t just expended serious blood, sweat and tears on our own place, we’d be one of them.
