280 Hicks Up For Auction
As Curbed reported last week, the rundown but beautiful carriage house at 280 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights will go up for auction next Tuesday. The house belonged to Alfred Palmer, who also used to own 135 Joralemon Street and was something of a neighborhood character. The starting bid for the 2,875-square-foot house is $2,000,000,…
As Curbed reported last week, the rundown but beautiful carriage house at 280 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights will go up for auction next Tuesday. The house belonged to Alfred Palmer, who also used to own 135 Joralemon Street and was something of a neighborhood character. The starting bid for the 2,875-square-foot house is $2,000,000, which might be a little aggressive considering it’s a candidate for a complete gut renovation. (Does anyone know what happens if it fails to sell?) Other properties up for sale that day include a Remsen Street co-op and a couple of Bed Stuy townhouses. GMAP

Just to be clear, I wouldn’t want to live next to firemen. I’d want to live with them.
They are Sizzling!

That many? Brooklyn Heights must be a HOT neighborhood. It’s on fiya!
Biff, just to be clear, I wouldn’t want to live next to the firehouse, only the firemen.
Perhaps the fact I’m a straight male is prompting me to disagree, but I think living next to a firehouse in New York would be an absolute nightmare. How many times a day / night do trucks leave with sirens blaring? Must be at least 4 or 5 times, based on what I hear, living in the nabe.

The house (like the Patty Duke Show) was on far too much land for it to really be in Brooklyn Heights. (bxgrl2, a woman after my own heart, but I’m already coupled with bxgrl)
The Heights Players occasionally does a revival of the play.
I so love when you feature one of those strange neglected houses that I have wondered about for years. I would not be surprised if they get 2 million. This is just the kind of building rich folks go for, and they would probably want to gut anyway.
