House of the Day: 12 College Place
The design of this Brooklyn Heights mews leaves us mostly cold, but the $8,995,000 price tag is intriguing.

Well, at least there’s garage space for a car!…

$8,995,000 / 4100 sf = hahahahahahahahahaha!
Oh I think we know exactly what we’re looking at: a very posh yet still absurdly priced piece of real estate. One might call it Unreal Estate.
