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 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.

I hadn’t thought of that Biff…my god, you’re right. We better get on that right away.
tinarina your being self-congratulatory with that remark about the pool. Admit it.
It has to be done up right…bar with margaritas and sangria, hot latino pool boys fanning everyone with palm fronds, chaise lounges with turkish pool towels, piped in eucalyptus….you get the picture…a den of iniquity.
Uh oh, apparently in addition to NHS (Neighborhood Hypersensitivity Syndrome) we now suffer from ICSA, or Insecurity and Class Status Anxiety.
Does this mean we also have to issue an apology to all crustaceans after our derogatory comments regarding the lobster rolls on the Food and Drink Round-Up Thread?
Oh relax. If you didn’t do anything wrong…then you needn’t get your knickers in a twist.
Even if you would love the pool. hmmm…come to think of it…so would I.
And remember, this listing was submitted to Mr. B–he didn’t go looking for it. What did the tipster think would happen?
Personally, I’m not even keen on the pool. No real daylight and somewhat claustrophobic. I bet it feels like an “amenity” at a Comfort Inn.
desi & cobblehiller…i din’t see any true “self-congratulation” on this threa. No one has said “my columns are better than those”, “my view doesn’t have 5′ satellite dishes”
In fact most of us are envious about the basement pool. Although I don’t know how you design skylights into a basement pool.
Oh, por favor!
Can we please not go all pious and self-righteous about not ridiculing that which cries out for same?
A target is a target because it’s a target. If you follow.
I don’t believe any of the comments here, though sometimes wicked, have caused any human grief.
Whoah…We’re all just having some good clean fun. In all honesty when this post came up did anyone really expect serious comments with regard to the pricing or how long it’s been on the market, etc.?
Of course someone is going to LOVE this, actually a lot of people will. Generally though it’s not going to be people in this community.
I don’t think any (intentional)harm was meant.
And heck yeah…I so totally want that pool in my basement, even with the tacky-poo tile!!
Correct Desi, you pegged it…”why all the self-congratulation on this thread? Insecurity, maybe? Anxiety about your own class status?”
