House of the Day: Deal on Cottage Row Survivor
Maybe we’ve been smoking some of that wacky crack that changes hands on our corner, but this 1835 woodframe in Brooklyn Heights looks like a friggin’ steal at $1.6 million! The 3-story Federal, one of original houses on “Cottage Row”, is so dripping with old-world charm we don’t know where to begin. So we’ll just…
Maybe we’ve been smoking some of that wacky crack that changes hands on our corner, but this 1835 woodframe in Brooklyn Heights looks like a friggin’ steal at $1.6 million! The 3-story Federal, one of original houses on “Cottage Row”, is so dripping with old-world charm we don’t know where to begin.

yeah, what exactly about brick filled frames? only because i live in one….
What about those living in brick-filled frames? Egad!
And dogs will be sleeping with cats. Oh the humanity.
When the big earthquake hits (NYC is on a major fault line believe it or not) folks living in wood frame homes will likely survive and those living in brick houses (most of you folks) will perish.
Sorry, but it’s an undisputable fact.
A wood frame house is not any more difficult to maintain than a brick house.
