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.

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.

sam- well- we’re both right and both wrong.
“# Menorah (Hanukkah), a nine-branched candelabrum used on Hanukkah
# Menorah (Temple), a seven branched candelabrum used in the Temple in Jerusalem”
Two different types. However the 7 branch menorah is used in temples- not on a nightstand at home. The 9 branch menorah is used in Jewish homes to celebrate Chanukah. I was off by one day – forgot the story for a moment.
In any case, that candleabra is not an indication of what religion the homeowners are. So obviously I still have plenty of brain cells left (certainly more than you do).
xanadu…the global financial meltdown is out of your control..and also taking a breather now until Japan opens tonight at 8:00.
Concentrate on something that you can have a real effect on like the decorationg touches of this Mill Basin monstrocity.
xanadu, you must be a lot of fun at parties.
bayridgegirl, the pool area is ok. I think it’s just missing a little something. But nothing a skyline, a wooden horse, menorah or some crystal wouldn’t fix.
I can’t believe that no one is mentioning the global financial meltdown and its effect on the bklyn real estate market. No way can these prices hold…
Do I dare say it, but the pool and pool area is nice, except for the fact that you have a view of the house.
DAMN spelling
Sore = Soar
But I think in this case, SORE is more appropriate.
I just posted this under the QOTD, but will repost here since this seems to be where all the fun is happening:

Ceilings that sore 30′ = 30′ walls.
And not one inch left bare.
Oh biff- you are so right. And I also noticed there was a blank space on one of the living room walls which really is a design faux pas for this place.
BH76- TOTO is still in Kansas. Perhaps CUJO would be an acceptable replacement. You know, when all those bad foods you ate come back to bite you on the ass? (apologies to biff- you do this so much better than I).
