House of the Day: Woodframe on Middagh
While the exterior of this house looks like it belongs in Greenpoint, it’s actually located on one of the more charming streets in Brooklyn Heights. We hope the next owner of this house has enough dough to do the renovation justice. While the house has more of a 1970’s suburban vibe right now, the potential,…
While the exterior of this house looks like it belongs in Greenpoint, it’s actually located on one of the more charming streets in Brooklyn Heights. We hope the next owner of this house has enough dough to do the renovation justice. While the house has more of a 1970’s suburban vibe right now, the potential, especially given the extra-wide lot, driveway and carriage house, is amazing. With an asking price of $2.395 million, it looks to us like you could put close to a million bucks into fixing this place up and be in a decent place investment-wise. Do others agree or has old Brownstoner lost his marbles?

Someone calling “bullshit” is one of the most civilized disagreements I’ve ever seen on this site. Made me giggle.
This has been on the market forever — at least a year. Not sure what they were asking for it last year.
Among the people that I know, “calling bullshit” on something is just a playful way of disagreeing with something someone says. It is not at all nasty, despite the slight vulgarity. Hard to say whether that was the case here, seeing as how all tone is lost in these quick posts. But I thought I’d offer that up.
I think that’s Paul Giamatti’s house.
Is there some reason some people can’t disagree without sounding like 5 year olds? How about keeping the the bs to a minmum – if you don’t agree with someone, disagree like an adult, Anonymous at February 13, 2006 06:00 PM. How about we have more respect for Brownstoner- we’re all doing this on his dime. I bet he’d like a little more civility.

Sorry for posting 3 times above, I have the world’s oldest computer here at work.
I was half joking about the garage rent paying for a reno. But think about it, if you restored/replaced the clapboard, restored the front door and entrance, and replaced the garage door with either a period appropriate iron gate, or period appropriate wooden gate, the place would look like a $3mil house, without anyone thinking twice.
I’m telling you what I know. No need to get nasty. I lived in BH for over 20 years.
