House of the Day: 47 Sidney Place
The oddest thing about the new listing for 47 Sidney Place in Brooklyn Heights is the broker the sellers chose to use: Tabak. We can’t recall them ever having a Brooklyn listing, and they’re not likely to get a whole lot more giving the lame, lazy effort they’re making on this two-family house. With a…
The oddest thing about the new listing for 47 Sidney Place in Brooklyn Heights is the broker the sellers chose to use: Tabak. We can’t recall them ever having a Brooklyn listing, and they’re not likely to get a whole lot more giving the lame, lazy effort they’re making on this two-family house. With a price tag of $5,250,000, you’d think they could take a nice shot of the exterior and include some interior views as well. As it is, it’s pretty hard to comment on the pricing. The description makes the house sound pretty fancy schmancy, but without pics there’s no way to know whether it’s well-done, or just nouveau cheese.

Not Jewish and not in Mill Basin? Ok, so maybe we say this one featured in Bertie Does Bergen Beach?
ohhhh, damn! How did I miss that cmu? Of course- er….just not sure a temple to what. well, at lest we know now why its not a menorah. thanks pattunia! 🙂
This huge house is owned by the Falco family – not Jewish. Their house is on Ave W between E68th and E69th right near their construction biz on 69th. Oh, and it’s not Mill Basin, it’s Bergen Beach which is the neighborhood immediately to the west.
I can’t imagine who will buy this place cause the mob is dead and the rich Russians, Israelis et al want to live amongst their own in Mill Basin. Fwiw, there are no Syrians here in the Basin.
“However the 7 branch menorah is used in temples- not on a nightstand at home”
You don’t get it, bxgrl. Obviously this home IS a temple.
WOW. I missed all the comments today. I was too busy with the crumbling stock market and mortgage applications out the ying yang. Enough about me.
I love how the Mill Basin house stole this thread.
one word.
LIBERACE!!!
I don’t have any other words to describe and I just had my neighbors come over to look at the photos of this house. Probably one of my all time favorites.
I have an appraisal of a 12 million dollar penthouse in Las Vegas that rivals this. It has real flames that come out of the door frame when you walk thorugh them. Do you think brownstoner will let me post photos of it? The owner sold the place so I don’t feel it would be inapropriate to post the pics. You got to see this penthouse.
well, MM…nuts! grumble…grumble…@#$$*(#&@…snark, snark…
(Just my sam imitation)
Sam, I don’t think most Protestants observe Lent. That’s a Roman thing, (although held on to by Anglicans and some Lutherans). You can get drummed out of the club for a faux-pas like that. 😉
We can’t have a Tacky House of the Day, sadly. As Dave said, that would make us judgemental and would elicit snarky remarks, something that never happens on this site. Ever.
sam- don’t make me break out the reading comprehension comment. I’ll have to pay myself royalties.
If you bothered to read- 8 days of Chanukah. The 9th candle, the shamash, is used to light the others so a true chanukah menorah has NINE.
I guess that makes me a better Jew than you are a Protestant. Or at least my reading comprehension is better 🙂
whoa! bxgirl, you are messing with my head.
First the picture of the waterbug, then the mabble cawlums, now you are trying to tell me that a menorah has nine candles? so in your house, you had nine days of Chanukah? I am begining to suspect that you are not a good jew.
But that’s OK, I’m not a good Protestant (although at least I know there are forty days in lent and twelve days of christmas).
