House of the Day: 26 Willow Street
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.

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.

“LOL…A train to 34th street from me is 25 minutes.”
I can get to rock center in that time too, what’s your point?
Only worth the money is there is a bike path nearby.
They showed multiple pictures of the same two rooms, living dining and two shots of the outside. They left 2/3 of the house out.
I would buy this place in a heartbeat if I had the dough.
I like this forgotton part of North Slope. I like this house. I like Brooklyn Heights. There is enough retail, in my book. Re Fort Greene, the western part of Fort Greene has a fair amount of retail but east of Hanson on Fulton, nada. Ok, it is increasing, but basically it is crap. I waited 5 years for a drycleaner within a 7 block walking distance that didn’t burn holes in my clothes. Park Slope, no thank you. I know it is the best neighborhood in the world, but no thank you. The crowds and the strollers and the annoying culture. I may be hitting the geriatric demographic of Brooklyn Heights, don’t know, but if the truth be known, I am sick of urban pioneering and I lived in this neighborhood for 16 years and I miss it. Just my totally idiocyncratic individual opinion. I would swap my Fort Greene Versailles in the Ghetto brownstone for this in a second.

Cobble Hill as the F train which would get you to midtown in less than half a hour.

You guys are right. These 5 houses are all sitting here because they’re so awesome and underpriced!

At $3.8 Million, upgrades and a new kitchen and a few baths won’t run you more than $200-300,000 more, less than 10% of the purchase price.

Face it, if you have some dough, you can’t beat The Heights.
And if you had any real dough you’d be in a townhouse, not a coop!
