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. The 25-foot-wide brownstone has clearly had a major makeover since its current owner purchased the 13-room mansion for $2,792,000…

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?

Got to agree with Susan.
Uh! I do not like this house. It lacks charm, the built-ins are awful, the bull painting is dreck (sorry PropJoe). Except for the yard they’ve turned a perfectly nice brownstone into a hotel.
A built-in refrigerator…a counter with an eased edge. I can be happy here.
I find it amazing how jealous (relatively) well-off people can be toward people more well-heeled than them.
Moral: don’t be too poor or too rich or people will hate you.
Oh Frederick,
The kind of person that would purchase this house, isnt putting down 20%, they would have a higher percentage if not 100%.
As far as rent, this is prime bk heights so the owner is sure to make several thousand a month for the apartment.
I think this is priced way too high.
It is a nice house though. The 3-units could be used by a rich person to house a n’er’do-well offspring with substance abuse problems, or a nanny/personal assitant type of employee. Although the usual thing people with this kind of money do when they buy a used” house is to gut and start from scratch. Hopefully they will spend a little money restoring the facade, which looks a little bedraggled.
I say it will sell for 4.5-5 million. Maybe.
What would a floor-through rent for on that block? With 20% down this place will cost 40k a month.
the painting in the l.r. lets you know how bullish they still are. knock off $50k for even making me have to look at the horrid canopy bed, blue velvet couch, and red rooster in the backyard.
Killer Bull painting… Clearly this guy worked at Lehman and is now out of work
