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.

Good Lord! Watchtower Divesting Six Heights Props [Brownstoner]
they’re advertising another bldg today too. also very pricey
$1700 a square foot is about $4000 psf less than apartments being sold at the plaza and 15 central park west.
given the location of this place, i don’t find it nearly as absurd as you do, 2:22.
Ha ha ha ha ha! $1700 a square foot! That’s rich.
Good luck with that glorified garage, people. Dark, cramped, and no view. Whoever is selling this is both delusional and tasteless.
I say hurray whatever it sells for. Expensive property being put back on the tax roles instead of gov’t subsidy of religion.
Love it. I’ve coveted this place for years.
Unfortunately it is priced about $6.2 million above my highest limit.
This would be great fo rthe crack whores and pimps who work the streets of Brooklyn. A few tricks and the place is theirs!
I see nothing beautiful about cars.
All but a handful are completely utilitarian.
If cars are your architecture, bud…you really need to get out more.
Very nice looking house, but how can it be 4,172 sf as a two story – even assuming the parking area is included in the sf calculation. If its 20 ft wide, that means it has to be over 100 sf dep?
I’ve always wondered what this placed looked like inside. Surprisingly roomy. But still…7.2?
