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.

Right on Dave. It would be nice to look up and see the moon on those clear nights as well.
We have a skylight over the stairwell and another in the upper floor bathroom with the tin vents in the peak of each. I remember how when we first moved in how loud it sounded when it would rain. Now it’s soothing.
all I can say about the price is that The What was really on to something.
So, is this house worth the ask?
Brown, how about a THOD..Tacky House of the Day, they seem to generate alot of great posts.
I would love to be able to have a bed underneath those skylights listening to the rain. I’m actually being serious here. I remember the rain on the tin roof outside my bedroom when I was young.
agreed
Is it just me or does the floral wallpaper and bedding look out of place in this house?
So THL that would be a YES.
Its not that the HOTD was uninteresting; its just that we weren’t given ANY information to assess its value. None of us would want to make snap judgements and snarky comments that would be ill-informed here.
The HOTD discussion should be the one sacrosanct thread on brownstoner that maintains the integrity of the discussion of real estate.
Are we all in agreement?
So does this mean that whenever we find the HOTD uninteresting we just revolt and post our own?
