HOTD: Too Good To Be True In The Heights
This listing in Brooklyn Heights sounds too good to be true. Naturally, we’re suspicious. Douglas Elliman is offering the four-story, 3,000-square-foot double duplex for $1.8 million which is about half the going rate in that part of town. Now, there are a few possibilities here: 1) The Federal-style house is not really in Brooklyn Heights…

Now, there are a few possibilities here: 1) The Federal-style house is not really in Brooklyn Heights (the listing says it’s between Court and Clinton but doesn’t give the cross street); 2) The place is in terrible shape or was butchered irretrievably by a crappy reno at some point; 3) The seller is in a huge rush to sell and doesn’t care about getting top dollar. Whatever the reason, we are dying to know the skinny on this place. Location? Photographs? Some has to have been inside already.

I think exagerated aspect of light – Court St bldgs are east and north. Most important sunlight is from south and west.
Possibly the worst block in the Heights. What little light the movie theater doesn’t cut off, the new CourtHouse apartment building does. Plus, there are always cars backed up on Court Street due to the traffic light at the Atlantic Avenue intersection.
great rental building, but it’s 3 doors from the movie theater so the back yard has a 400 foot grey monolith blocking all light.
Brownstoner be slow these last few days, which may be the explanation for all the repeat postings.
It looks like the south side of State Street.
I don’t know about very narrow as ad sez 20′ by 40′. But steps to movie theater is very likely – a negative. Unrenovated 20′ by 40′ in CarrollGardens priced about $1.6 so still seems like good price.
it may be one of those crummy beaten down houses near the movie theater. very narrow and need of complete reno. But with complete lack of info from Dougie Ell, it’s impossible to know anything about this place.

Listing says “Very Bright”- maybe it lacks a roof!
