House of the Day: 135 Joralemon Street (Revisited)
Our coverage of the charming, and charmingly restored, house at 135 Joralemon Street is bordering on the obsessive, but there’s something that keeps bringing us back.

Our coverage of the charming, and charmingly restored, house at 135 Joralemon Street is bordering on the obsessive, but there’s something that keeps bringing us back. First it was the tragic fire that gutted it almost three years ago; then the fact that it just sat there for a good year and a half, and then that someone undertook a painstaking renovation. And then they kept our attention by putting it on the market with Brown Harris Stevens early this past summer and slapping a $5,950,000 price tag on it. In September, the asking price was trimmed to $5,750,000 and it still didn’t sell. Now Corcoran’s been given the listing and reintroduced the property with a shiny new price of $5,250,000. Think this latest reduction will be enough?

This is not only a beautiful home it is famous. So many books have a picture of this building. It is a star. Of course it is worth the asking price. They do not give away big perfect houses in brooklyn Heights you know. The interiors are exquisite the whole thing is exquisite. I hope that someone that truly appreciates antique architecture buys it.
Mayor Bloomberg: You could use a house in Brooklyn and your daughters would love it.
You could have big barbecues and invite Hillary. It’s a must for you!
Sorry I missed all the action here.
Actually, isn’t Manhattan and Brighton Beach full of McMansions? Russians tear down nice old houses and fill the lots with ’em all the time.
I think the owners are being a little greedy.
AWKWARD.
What were we talking about?
I see the holiday brings out the best in some people. I love the house, overpriced but…Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Nice guy, huh?
Uh, duh, read my post and that is what I am saying. There aren’t many. But the last sentence is ME pointing out that there are a few places in NYC with McMansions. No need to be a nasty name-caller, uh, sir.
Have you ever viewed true McMansions? (See Alpine, N.J.) Where in NYC can you find anything like that? Well, maybe Staten Island…okay, yeah, and a few in Dyker Heights…
