House of the Day: 72 Middagh Street
When we first wrote about 72 Middagh Street, an old wood frame house in Brooklyn Heights, back in 2006 it was in need of a major makeover both on the inside and out. That didn’t stop it from fetching the full asking price at the time of $2,395,000. Now, exactly two years later, the new-and-improved…
When we first wrote about 72 Middagh Street, an old wood frame house in Brooklyn Heights, back in 2006 it was in need of a major makeover both on the inside and out. That didn’t stop it from fetching the full asking price at the time of $2,395,000. Now, exactly two years later, the new-and-improved version is back on the market with the Corcoran broker who bought it in ’06. To our eye, she did a fantastic renovation job, preserving the original elements while putting in modern but tasteful kitchens and bathrooms. Given the private driveway and carriage house, the new asking price of $2,995,000 seems reasonable to us. The neighbors must be happy too.

1;42…you are an idiot. It is not in Norwalk, CT. Its in Brooklyn Heights. Why post such idiotic and pointless comments. You might as well say…”if it was in the outskirts of Bagdad it would sell for $1600.00″

Anywhere in the south $80K tops.
The looks of this house could be improved dramatically with a little judicious nip and tuck. It’s not bad as it is, sort of 1910 vernacular alterations to an early 19th century house. The garage is fantabulous. You could lease those spaces out for God knows how much. It is a good buy. Move right in or Martha Stewartise.
brilliant, 1:42. and in the west village it would sell for $8 million. so what?
In Greenpoint it would be 700K
It’s a house. In Norwalk, CT it would sell for $299K.
Don’t know if it’s really 3,000 sf of living space…looks smaller, plus it’s now 2 apts. I love the 3rd/4th floor transition. Also hard to tell the quality of renovation…I don’t think they’ve improved the facade with what looks like some sort of synthetic siding.
But the garage is a HUGE plus.
Think this is priced about right to sell quickly, but I’d want an extremely careful inspection first.
i couldn’t afford this myself, but for brooklyn heights, this seems like a pretty good deal.
