House of the Day: 13 Cranberry Street
With all the ado about 155 Warren Street last week, it seemed like a good time to take a gander at 13 Cranberry Street. Located between Columbia Heights and Willow, the 25-footer is pure Brooklyn Heights goodness. At 4,600 square feet (as opposed to over 7,000 for the Cobble Hill house), the single-family pad has…
With all the ado about 155 Warren Street last week, it seemed like a good time to take a gander at 13 Cranberry Street. Located between Columbia Heights and Willow, the 25-footer is pure Brooklyn Heights goodness. At 4,600 square feet (as opposed to over 7,000 for the Cobble Hill house), the single-family pad has all the old-school architectural details intact along with some modern improvements (like the kitchen) to go along. So what price princeliness? A cool $8,000,000.

“Bland House”??? Wow. “Bland” it is not. Why so negative? What a lot of jealous naysayers on this blog. I’m going back to work. I feel like I just wasted precious time writing on this blog. We should all be out voting today and actually doing something useful, instead of judging others and their houses from the safety of our office/homes computers.
I heard that a penthouse apartment in Park Slope on PPW just sold for 6.5 million or something close.
Anyone know?
Bland house.
There was a house on Columbia Heights that sold for 12.9M. Granted, it is a bigger house. But not that much bigger. And this house is much more interesting. This house is an grand old Federal gem. 7.5M-8M sounds about right.
Me too! I think anybody would rather live in BH than 31st/2nd Ave. Lets face it. Brooklyn Heights/Cobble Hill is one of the most beautiful areas in all New York. The houses are beautiful. Its quiet. Its green. BTW- I have was in this house when it was on the market ten years ago or so. Its enormous and the proportions are very generous. This house is really a grand dame, one of the most special houses in Brooklyn-my bet is that it will sell close to asking-and good luck to them!
well, there have been 10-12mm asking prices and sales in last couple of years in BH. For single family houses. I can think of two on Columbia Heights (that hedge fund guy who hosted the Obama fundraiser — he bought his place for 10mm), the one on Montague Terrace and one on Remsen.
All depends on who you’re trying to appeal to.
A lot of wall streeters who can afford this price tag are going to value a 5 min commute to work (whether by subway, cab or black car, take your pick) a lot more than living on the UWS.
And agreed, no one who can afford $8M is going to pick 31st and 2nd. A recently graduated, frat-loving twentysomething – yes; multi-millionaire, no.
There are many houses on the UWS in this price range–is that a crappy neighborhood too?
31st and 2nd is a crappy neighborhood though.
As far as Manhattan goes, one of the worst.
I think most people would rather be in Brooklyn Heights over 31st and 2nd.
I sure would.
