Should you be keen on calling Dyker Heights home but are of slightly more modest means than the buyer who paid $2.5 million for the priciest spread to changed hands in Brooklyn last week, take a gander at the listing that landed in our inbox yesterday (subject line: “Brooklyn Mansion”). The 5,800-square-foot house is described as follows: “Architecturally breathtaking, this custom four bedroom, three and a half bathroom, center-hall Colonial in desirable Dyker Heights, perfectly captures the essence of the modern living with an expansive foyer with its impressive wedding staircase, high chandelier and imported Italian marble flooring. The adjacent east-wing has a home office, full bathroom and guest room….the sprawling finished basement boasts a lavish underground pool fitted with skylights and a relaxing veranda. French doors lead to the custom wet-bar and game room that’s perfect for entertaining in this in-door paradise.” All for a mere $1,999,000.

  1. It would cost 2m in renovation to undo all of this.

    Hubby and I go to Dyker Heights to see the xmas lights every year and we are taken aback by all the hideous renovations. People think this is nice?!

    Once we were awestruck (and not in a nice way) by a corner house that had a lot of stone animals in front. We stood there staring and counting. ‘Vinny’ came out of the house and was staring right back at us. We were scared.

    I don’t think it was this house. Believe it or not. There is more than one house in Dyker heights that looks like this.

  2. My mom would absolutely love this place. She’s the litmus test for overly ostentatious, bad taste – although her hair isn’t quite so blue yet. As for the listing broker; I’m imagining from the smirk in his pic that even he can’t be taking this listing too seriously.
