Recently reduced to $3,750,000 from a starting price of $4,995,000 earlier this year (with a couple of intermediate stops along the way), this gorgeous woodframe house at 72 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights must be coming into range for some well-heeled buyer. After all, this is one of the oldest houses in the Heights, dating back to the 1820s, and it’s a 25-footer. On top of that, it looks extremely well-preserved. By comparison, Brown Harris still has this house at 19 Garden Place listed at $3,995,000. Which do you think is a better deal?

‘put a laid back sofa with a big flat screen in your bathroom?’
ugh…There is nothing more ostentatious than a huge bathroom with furniture. Do you really need to lounge around and look at the toilet, or someone to sit there and look at you.
Throw in some columns, mirror behind the jacuzzi…and DIBS, you might as well move to Mill Basin.
“Not everybody can live with periord details”
I’m trying to wrap my brain around this on a site named “Brownstoner”.
cobblehiller…BRG is just trying to sound intelligent and on topic so she can get another QOTD.
Such restraint BRG! very impressive…
BRG…when I saw those pictures of just those two rooms I got so excited I couldn’t get up out of my chair.
Those are some of the nicest period details we’ve ever seen in a HOTD. Period.
“Anyway, whoever is buying this doesn’t care about TV. They’ll be reading Flaubert’s Madame Bovary by the light of the kerosene lamp.”
Or the Federalist Papers! A federal mind living in a federal house!
‘”It’s def. not for everybody.”
-at 3.7 million, there’s an understatement!’
I meant style, not financial. Not everybody can live with periord details. or details from certain eras. It’s a matter of taste.
Believe it or not, not all details are created equal.
DIBS, why don’t you kill two birds with one stone and just put a laid back sofa with a big flat screen in your bathroom?

Yes, yes, of course there SHOULD be, but is there!
Of course in my tiny apt. the livingroom is the diningroom and the kitchen, and the bedroom is the den and the other TV room, and the guestroom is my office, and my step daughter’s room!
But how would we know that Dave, with out a floor plan or more photos!?
Let’s not get into your bathroom habits! ; )
