House of the Day: Crown Heights Grand Dame

875stmarks1_07.jpg
houseReaders know that one of our pet peeves is the omission of addresses from real estate listings; that omission is particularly galling when a broker fails to respond to an email request for an address. You’d think the free publicity would be enough. Not one Brooklyn Heights Real Estate broker. The radio silence and the lack of interior photos make us wonder whether this “Grand Dame” across from the Brooklyn Children’s Museum in Crown Heights is not an exclusive. (That, and the fact that the broker thinks it’s located in Bedford Stuyvesant.) Regardless, this baby looks awfully charming from the outside, though the listing does disclose that it’s in need of “total” restoration. Given that fact and the square footage of 3,872, we’d say that the asking price of $1,500,000 is rather aggressive. Thoughts? Update: We know now that the address is 875 St. Marks Avenue and have been sent a few photos of the interior which are posted above and on the jump.
