House of the Day: 42 Remsen Street

The owners of the four co-ops at 42 Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights put this entire building on the market in mid-October for $10,000,000, making it one of the most expensive properties for sale in Brooklyn right now. The 19th-century brick townhouse has been nicely restored with a new stoop and other details and has some interesting amenities such as a wine cellar in the basement, wood-burning fireplaces, a terrace, and a dining and kitchen area on the parlor floor that is open to the garden with a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and three sets of French doors. (You can read more about the history of the building and its renovation in an October article in The Wall Street Journal.) Do you think the house is worth the asking price?
