Shortly after 28 Middagh Street in Brooklyn Heights hit the market in November ’09, it was a House of the Day and listed for $4,200,000. The property ended up selling for $3,000,000 in a transaction recorded in city records earlier this week. Back when it was first listed, The Eagle ran a profile of its owner and his renovation of the four-story property, which resulted in the Brooklyn Heights Association’s 2006 Award for Architectural Excellence. (The old listing photos above show some of the interior.) The seller had this to say about the house’s condition pre-renovation: “‘Sometime after 1940, someone removed the front stairway, added asbestos shingles, created a side entry and added a two-car garage. In their mind they probably thought they were modernizing it, but it looked horrible.’” The seller reduced the size of the garage, extended the back of the house, and used the top two floors as a two-bedroom rental. Also of interest on this one is its history on the market: According to StreetEasy, it saw a bunch of price cuts through June of last year; was de-listed in August; and re-emerged with a $3,250,000 price tag last September.
