You guys are so funny. You didn’t notice that the SELLER/Owner and the BROKER are one and the same?? She became a realtor, took the listing from BHS and her one listing is her own house! It’s way overpriced, needs work and obviously the seller/realtor is fixated on the $8 million dollar price. It should sell at closer to $5 or $6 million tops.
I totally remember this listing from when BHS had it. It was only recently taken from them and given to Elliman–as in less than a few weeks ago. BHS had better pictures, at least.
How can you people even see the lintels in the photos?? I’m wearing what pretty much amounts to magnifying glasses on my eyes and I don’t see anything. It looks like a regular ol’ brownstone to me. Looks kind of federal even.
Well obviously its not Gothic – its about 5 or 6 centuries too late for that.
But having Gothic elements does make it Gothic Revival, as I said at 11:17. Or do you think the Gothic elements make it Italianate? Federal? – a decade or two too late, even for NYC.
This house looks like a mish-mash of styles, something which was common at the time. A little bit Federal, an Italianate touch, the Gothic lintels, etc. It’s got them all.
But, this doesn’t warrant an $8 million price tag. And apparently lots of people think the same way, as this house hasn’t sold yet, and most likely won’t sell at this price.
If the average in 2007 in this area was $4.5 (I took a look at those comps and they are very comparable) then even if you consider this house above average, it’s still not double the average, come on.
Those lintels are NOT gothic! Give it up. Lintels in general aren’t even a defining characteristic of Gothic.
Will she need to pay taxes on her commission?

Maybe that guy who shat all over Merrill Lynch can buy it with his dirty loafers.

The problem is that everyone thinks $8 million is the norm for Brooklyn Heights. It is not.
