There’s lots to choose from if you are a deep-pocketed buyer with a hankering for a house on Willow Street. Back in December, 69 Willow Street ($5,750,000) was a House of the Day, followed by 46 Willow Street ($4,000,000) and 47 Willow Street ($2,400,000) in February. And of course, there’s the mother of them all, Truman Capote’s former crib at 70 Willow, which is still for sale at the reduced price of $15,900,000. Now, as Curbed noted yesterday, there’s one more to add to the list: 26 Willow Street, a gorgeous 23-foot-wide Greek Revival house that just hit the market with an asking price of $3,800,000. Sweetness.

  1. To the new owners…PLEASE don’t research passive house technology when you’re looking to upgrade the mechanicals. Your neighbor, Minard will be VERY disapproving of your trendiness.

  2. “This important American home provides a clear view into the past, and shows the best days are yet to come….Resource current technology to upgrade mechanical systems. Use your creativity to carefully choose from today’s vast selection of quality materials for the well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. Use your good taste to decorate. This home is now ready for the next chapter, and a new long era. Make history.”

    Translation: It needs to be renovated. It’s no steal. It’s beautiful, but I don’t see it as a bargain with the other 4 homes on the market on this small street.

  3. I see things changing a little bit and more people would rather go just a couple more stops to Ft. Greene, Boreum Hill, CG, Park Slope or Prospect Heights and get a comparable house for half the asking price of many of these BH homes. Certainly it’s a big draw for the old money crowd and bankers, but a lack of interesting retail and restaurants leaves some of the younger buyers going a little further into Brooklyn.
