HOTD: Don't Worry, You Can't Afford It Anyway
This is one of those crazy pads that are so expensive–and the potential purchasers so few–that there’s not much point in discussing whether or not it’s a good deal (though at half the price of this place, it’s looking like a steal).

This is one of those crazy pads that are so expensive–and the potential purchasers so few–that there’s not much point in discussing whether or not it’s a good deal (though at half the price of this place, it’s looking like a steal). The 9,500-square-foot mansion is a little time-worn and given the likely standards of the buyer will get a big makeover. Of course, we’d be happy to move in as-is. We suspect we could get by just fine! The listing’s a little short on photos…Has anyone been inside recently?
Remsen Street Mansion [Brown Harris Stevens]
Remsen and the Promenade. That part of Remsen is lovely because there is a cul-de-sac. Prime, prime, prime location. The price isn’t bad for something so big. Anyone purchasing it will have to spend another $2M to renovate, but heh, what’s another $2M when you are paying that amount?
If you look at this Corcoran listing then this property looks overpriced. 25 footer on same block in mint and move-in condition. “Only” $6.5M.

Ed– sure, Brooklyn Heights brownstones are something special. But “entitled?” As in some people are simply not? Royal bequests of land are no longer typically made here in the states… at least, not since we had that little revolution in the late 1700s.
Join the fun of Brownstoner and don’t be such a sourpuss! : )
Simmer down, simmer down….
Loving Brooklyn and bringing a critical eye to how its properties are priced are hardly inconsistent.
Easy boys…. let’s play nice…. LOL! 🙂
HA – I have no association with Marty or the REBNY, but I LOVE BROOKLYN and you should a little more too.
It’s actually broken up into many Apts inside.
This was sold about a year ago and then the new owner jacked it up more than double of what was paid without doing anything to it. it is not worth what he is asking…rooms are very small
