House of the Day: 72 Hicks Street
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.

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?

Oh, maybe that’s why it was funny rather than inflammatory.
I like Fake What better.
Correct Biff. More like Jesse
“What the hell is that “How I lost 1Lb Per Day” advertisement on here?????? It almost looks like I’m surfing porn when that thing pops up next to the HOTD”
DIBS, you really need to find better porn sites, if that’s the case. Plus, I have a feeling the ones you’re looking at don’t involve individuals named “Jessica”.
A gracious, well preserved and beautifully classic Federal gem. When I think of what houses must look like in that part of Bklyn Hts, this is it. I’m sure this very formal look, complete with Duncan Phife and Chippendale, appeals to the old guard way of looking at having made it. Not my style, but way better than the new bling.
Gotta put a zinger in here and say, goes to show how well a well built old building holds up, even if it did get a couple of tune ups along the way. No McMansion would look as good after almost 200 years.
