House of the Day: Willow Place on the Cheap
The same person has owned this brick townhouse at 39 Willow Place in Brooklyn Heights since 1974, which might explain why it’s priced so cheaply. The photos in the listings, however, show that the house is in decent shape, though certainly lacking the jaw-dropping interiors of some houses in the area. Still, $2.5 million for…
The same person has owned this brick townhouse at 39 Willow Place in Brooklyn Heights since 1974, which might explain why it’s priced so cheaply. The photos in the listings, however, show that the house is in decent shape, though certainly lacking the jaw-dropping interiors of some houses in the area. Still, $2.5 million for a 25-footer in Brooklyn Heights? Not only that, but the price was dropped from $2,775,000 within ten days of it hitting the market earlier this month. What gives? What’s the catch?

I also heard of structural problems on Joralemom street due to the tunnels and rumblings. I read it somewhere online a year ago from one of the brownstone owners. Never heard of problems on Willow Place but it doesn’t mean problems don’t exist.
there is no way brooklyn heights is cheaper than carroll gardens…. Carroll gardens is blue collar and the heights is white collar
I would not purchase a home on Willow Place period, or on State or Joralemon below Hicks.
If you live in the Heights you would know this. Only people moving from elsewhere would purchase a home below Hicks between Joralemon and State.
I think this just shows how overpriced some neighborhoods are.

Is there a huge difference in quality between 20′ and 25′ wide brownstones?
I looked at some of the comps and this price is in line. Willow Place is not Willow Street. It is down the hill, close to the highway. If you look at comps for brownstones in Central Heights they are over 4 million, but in north Heights you can get cheaper places. I think anyone interested in figuring out whether it is overpriced should take a walk over there. It is a hike up the hill to the train, stores etc.
voice of reason for linking a website??
there is a very big difference between the rumbling of a subway train and structural damage as was posted earlier.
anon 1:59pm gets the “voice of reason” award hands down.
