HOTD: 'Nuther Price Cut at 135 Joralemon Street
We think the owner of 135 Joralemon Street did an absolutely incredible job restoring (and then styling) the former Brooklyn Heights burn-victim and hope that he makes a solid return for his efforts (everyone on the block should be chipping in!). So far, though, the pricing has proven to be overly-aggressive. The house, which in…
We think the owner of 135 Joralemon Street did an absolutely incredible job restoring (and then styling) the former Brooklyn Heights burn-victim and hope that he makes a solid return for his efforts (everyone on the block should be chipping in!). So far, though, the pricing has proven to be overly-aggressive. The house, which in its pre-renovated form went for $2,400,000, has been gradually ticking downward since being listed last summer for $5,950,000. The latest price cut, from $5,250,000 to $4,950,000 came yesterday. Will it be enough to move the 3,200-square-foot house? We have no idea.

Thanks! That’s the place I remember, BH’s “haunted house.”

Sidney and Garden Places, the house’s environs, are among the nicest residential streets in NYC. As for Joralemon, I never remember traffic being a problem at all — and I lived nearby for 25 years.
BH isn’t for everybody. It’s not “touchy feely” by any means. But for quiet and elegant city living, only Beekman Place in Manhattan (hardly touchy feely either) comes close.
And, yes, neighbors do say “hello.”

Ugh, this house has been discussed to DEATH on this site. Why on earth bring it back? What is Corcoran paying for that privilege?
I love the kitchen in this house. Might inspire a someday kitchen for me. The 50’s-esque curved shelves and danish modern feel but with a 70’s warmth and texture.
This is all new stuff in this house; it wasn’t staged like this before. Stagers-gone-wild. The animal skins are creepy. The whole thing of putting one piece of furniture in each room is weird and somehow it makes the rooms feel smaller and not functional. I’m not sure I agree houses should never ever be shown empty. I think it’s better to stage one room properly and leave a few rooms empty, than to put one or two pieces of furniture in each room.
Not feeling this house at all… Maybe because its not a BROWNSTONE…
blah blah blah. ok, over priced, not the hottest location in the heights (1/2 a block from clinton and the very busy intersection on joralemon), squashed between the buildings so i’m guessing it’s not very bright inside, greedy seller…3M at best
BUT LOOK HOW FAR THE LITTLE OLD HOUSE HAS COME !

Problem solved.
And shades can be made in colors that complement whatever style interiors the buyers might like. (And if Landmarks is fussy, they can line the shades inside and leave a neutral color outside.)

but re: the location – does Sidney Place run in the direction so that car headlights will shine directly into your living room as they go thru?
It does look beautiful though – happy to see that buyers are finally showing some guts. In mid-2007, didn’t it feel like EVERY house had multiple offers the day after the first open house? And now it seems places are sitting and sitting because brokers (read: corcoran esp) can’t accept that the market is coming down.
Can’t believe no one has mentioned the next highest listing on the corcoran site for this neighborhood priced at a comparable $4.5m – but NOT the heights – cobble hill. did anyone go to the open house? I don’t believe any house in cobble hill has ever gone for a price even remotely like that. Any thoughts?
Also – the place on Clinton between Congress & Warren that is on BHS site – it is at $2.6m, but if you assume it needs a total reno at $350 psf, that puts it in the $4m range as well.
So now Cobble Hill has suddenly jumped in prices by $1 million as we enter a recession???
what’s not to like? no neighbors. all that street traffic is court st traffic. it’s not really “neighborhoody”
“the headlights permeating your living space”
Great, now you have someone who does not like the fact that the house is on a street that cars drive on. What a maroon. I think he needs to look at property in the high Andes and buy himself a llama.
