Brooklyn Heights Townhouse With Deep Garden, Five Fireplaces Asks $10.75 Million

This brick townhouse at 37 Sidney Place in Brooklyn Heights has some impressive proportions: It’s five stories, 23 feet wide, and sits on a lot that stretches 135 feet deep. It’s pretty grand in the price-tag department as well, with an ask of $10.75 million — that works out to $2,349 a square foot, by our calculation.

The listing offers limited visual evidence of what that money buys. Photos are few, in other words, with only two interior shots, neither of them particularly staggering.

The house is set up with a triplex on the bottom and a duplex on top, both with interior staircases. The triplex has three bedrooms on top and the kitchen on the bottom, in between is a full parlor with floor to ceiling windows in front and a bay-windowed library in the back.

The one-bedroom upper duplex has a double-height living room with a skylit loft space above, space that’s currently designated as a playroom and an office.

There are five wood-burning fireplaces, according to the listing, from Richard Orenstein of Halstead. Mechanicals are “updated,” and there’s a wine room in the basement. The garden’s got a bluestone patio and looks lushly landscaped and quite nice in the photo.

If you want to see what the rest of it looks like, there’s an open house from noon to 2 p.m. this Thursday, April 14.

The house appears to have been in the family for decades. What are your thoughts on what you see, and the asking price?
