House of the Day: 22 Remsen Street
[nggallery id=”25390″ template=galleryview] Let’s hope there are still some rich people out there! It’s not everyday a $7,300,000 listing hits the market so naturally this place at 22 Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights caught our eye.

Let’s hope there are still some rich people out there! It’s not everyday a $7,300,000 listing hits the market so naturally this place at 22 Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights caught our eye. The 25-foot-wide brownstone has clearly had a major makeover since its current owner purchased the 13-room mansion for $2,792,000 in 2003. Surprisingly for its price range, the five-story house is actually a three-family, raising the question of whether someone with this kind of dough wants to be a landlord to two different tenants. Regardless, this will be a nice test of the high-end waters right now. Thoughts?

Tacky, tacky, tacky!
I like the curb appeal but on this inside this house seems dull. For the money they are asking they need to bring in a stager or someone to give this house some punch.
I see a price cut coming around noon. Argentina is spreading contagion around the globe.
Yes, it’s 9:17, but each passing moment that this doesn’t sell works to your advantage! 🙂
Yes, we’re on. But its now 9:17
DIBS, not “off” at all. I said the place would go for closer to $7.3MM (meaning closer to $7.3MM than $4MM) and that I would bet you on it. The halfway point between our two estimates is $5.65MM, which is why I then said it will go for more than $5.65MM. There’s no hole at all between my statements. Perhaps it would have been clearer if I said, “I will bet you this place will go for closer to the $7.3MM asking price than your estimate of $4MM. Therefore, if it goes for more than $5.65MM, I win the bet”. It’s like me saying I’ll bet you it’s closer to 8am than 7am and I’ll bet you it’s past 7:30am. So are we on?
Hey DIBS,
Nice shout-out on 155 Warren Street. If it’s “under contract” at a last listed price of $5.9M, wonder what it will close at.
Remember (almost one year ago today) when it was HOTD at $8.75M? That’s a healthy chop. Still, probably the most expensive house in CH.

I used to live in Brooklyn heights, and its not as architecturally ornate as some other neighborhoods that were developed later.
Clinton Hill, Crown heights, and of course Bensonhurst have houses that would more properly be called mansions.
