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.

House of the Day: Woodframe on Middagh [Brownstoner]
I disagree with 3:32. Saw this renovation being done and was surprised at how modest and quick it was on the front. No idea about the interior or backyard.
that picture isn’t the same house. that’s a block down on the other side. house numbers have changed since then
I just checked the DOB site and Permits were only pulled for the facade and shed. No permit was filed for general constrution….HHHMMMM.
So, I guess, they didn’t change any door openings, move any walls, do any plumbing work, etc….very interesting.
But how could they change the roofline without literally obliterating the rooftop addition?
I guess landmarks didn’t see this picture….Oops
Here’s a link to the house in the 1920s/1930s:

Look at the house (half of it, anyway) in the extreme right of the picture.
Oh, 4:57pm, you silver-tongued flatterer…
Yes, imput from clients. The people who own the property? Who will live in the property? Tres annoying. You’re the one with the vision! It’s so “aggrevating and fustrating”.
But what do I know? I wouldn’t trust a person who doesn’t know that “a lot” is two words to wash my car.
boy, I know what architect I never want to hire….
