135-Joralemon-Street-Brooklyn-0208.jpg
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.

  1. The flipside of having the open urban vista of Sidney Place out your front windows are the headlights permeating your living space all night, every night. Seller should throw in some black-out shades for those parlor and garden level windows.

  2. This is definitely a trophy house. It is a one-of-a-kind Federal townhouse with an 1850’s New Orleans style front porch. It could not be more appealing. And it’s in Brooklyn Heights. The interiors are beautiful too, although they may not appeal to folks who appreciate only Victorian-era style. I hope he gets the price. I want to see a family living there and sprucing up the front garden etc. When you are in the house you don’t notice the buildings to either side you look out on picturesque Sidney Place.
    PS: You can paint your windows white if you have a wood frame 1830 house. It is one of the rare exceptions.

    I lived in Brooklyn Heights for 25 years at the corner of Pierrepont and Columbia Heights, and I remember this house’s location as a sweet spot.

    It’s perpendicular to and looks into Sidney Place, one of the best-looking streets in the Heights.
