House of the Day: 165 Columbia Heights
When the Watchtower Group announced last spring that it would ratchet up the liquidation of its Brooklyn Heights holdings, one of the properties in the goody bag was 165 Columbia Heights, a two-story carriage house on one of the most desirable stretches of the Heights.

When the Watchtower Group announced last spring that it would ratchet up the liquidation of its Brooklyn Heights holdings, one of the properties in the goody bag was 165 Columbia Heights, a two-story carriage house on one of the most desirable stretches of the Heights. For the last six years, the 4,172-square-foot house has been used as guest quarters for the Jehovah’s Witnesses. It looks to be in good shape and there’s a highly-coveted three-car garage as well. But still, $7,200,000? We shall see.

you’re just jealous, 2:46.
if i had the money, i’d rather have a carriage house over just about any other property in the world.
this one is magnificent.
Look, anyone spending $7 million in the Heights has much better options than a CARRIAGE house. Be real.

This is the second astronomically high and totally arbitrarily priced property I’ve seen come on the market in the new year. I’m sure we’ll be covering the other as HOTD very soon… Can’t imagine what these sellers are drinking.
Well, when the Witnesses put that bunch of properties on the market last year, with their no listing price strategy, they were UNABLE to sell this carriage house and that thin and tall brownstone at 105 Willow. So, I guess that now the new strategy is to price it ridiculously high. It’s a carriage house!! Nothing more, nothing less. Carriage houses in Brooklyn Heights do NOT go for $7 million. It’s that simple.
Make it a one car garage and reuse the rest of the space for a home theater!
yes, believe it or not, buyers who look at the plaza, 15 central park west and 7 million dollar homes in brooklyn heights do have some things in common.
“about $4000 psf less than apartments being sold at the plaza and 15 central park west”
And your point is?
You’re seriously comparing Columbia Heights to the Plaza? Someone please tell me that was a joke.
