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. All right guys. It may not be your cup of tea, but why all the glee? As someone said above, this thread is pure knee-jerk classism. I’m sure the owners are very proud of it — you don’t like it, don’t buy it. Why do you have to take the piss out of someone else’s taste?

    Yes, I immediately thought “mawble columns… sturdy, elegant, and bursting with class,” but why all the self-congratulation on this thread? Insecurity, maybe? Anxiety about your own class status?
