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.

bxgrl, I grew up in a home that DID have the clear plastic slip covers and I’m damn proud of it. In the pre-A/C summers, we would literally not get out of our seat; we would PEEL ourselves out of our seats. And if that home was posted here, I would expect at least 200+ posts making fun of it, down to the turquoise appliances and formica kitchen bench!
THL- tell me you didn’t say that!
excuse me- I prefer to be a pretentious asshat. But where are all the fucktards? 🙂
that said- sorry if people think it’s offensive to express opinions about a house that most people think is hideous. every one has an opinion on taste or lack thereof, and it’s one of the few times we’ve had a lot of fun on a thread instead of going for each other’s throats.
IMHO- it’s hideous, it’s oversized, and it has no class. (Dave- Bush would be a perfect tenant, right?) I can’t claim to be the sole arbiter of great taste, but I grew up in a house with a purple horsehair sofa, green walls and a bright yellow tub chair. I KNOW what bad taste looks like and this house is it (apologies to my parents. They were the best in the world- just not in furniture). At least we never had the clear plastic slip covers.
I’m being censored.
come on man post what I write your messing up the flow
THL…email me at davebedstuy@yahoo.com ASAP
Dave you said…
“bxgrl…don’t compare the White House with this mansion”
…but in the listing it does boast a “West-Wing”.
Also, I would venture that the “sleeping quarters” are comparable to The Lincoln Bedroom. How could they not be?
Sorry, I re-read the full listing and couldn’t help myself!
We do janko. And if you think this is a game then you’re on the wrong blog. This is serious architectural criticism here. Besides, you’ve apparently read through the entire thread already.
it’ll be elaborate. Not only will they think I’m an asshole but a paranoid one at that!!!!
