The details at 140 St. Johns Place are strikingly similar to the Ortner house at 272 Berkeley Place, but it’s been recently updated and is set up as an owner’s triplex over a garden-floor two-bedroom rental.

The proportions of the four-story brownstone appear majestic, at least in the photos, and there is every kind of elaborate late-Victorian mahogany wood work and other detail one could hope for, including corkscrew screens, a hall tree and bench, a Queen Anne pier mirror, stained glass, built-in cabinets in the second parlor, shutters and grand mantels.

Built in 1892, according to the listing, the house has been updated with central air, new kitchens and baths, and two decks leading from the parlor and bedroom floors to the south-facing garden. What do you think of it and the ask of $3,795,000?

  1. I don’t think he ever implied that the listing was overpriced and was too much money. I think he clearly said it’s ridiculous to afford a nice place in this City that you have to be a multimillionaire. He didn’t really imply anything else.
