House of the Day: 53 South Elliott Street
When we last looked at 53 South Elliott Place, the 3,600-square-foot one-family house in Fort Greene, Corcoran had the listing at $3,700,000. Apparently, the recently renovated house did not sell, since Douglas Elliman has had the listing since last August at an asking price of $3,495,000. There’s no doubt that it’s a gorgeous house, but…

House of the Day: 53 South Elliott Place [Brownstoner]
That bathroom is an affront to my personal idea of Brooklyn and what it means to live here. It is something you see in those mcmansions on HGTV shows. The huge soaking tub in the middle of the room, the double sinks, and the separate little room for the toilet. Ugh. Obviously it is their money and their house and they can do what they want, but I wish people who want bathrooms like that would go elsewhere. Preferably Jersey. But I do love the rest of the house.
good point dibs, in that case this should go for $4MM.
i didnt get the bathroom commments, then looked back at the pics and realized what i thought was a living room was the bathroom! i see no prob with it, just dont get having a lounge chair in there. do you recline and watch your partner bathe? plop down all wet onto that leather?
Ok, I dislike the master bath too. More room for the dressing area and less for the bath would make my ideal master suite. But I’m not a bath person. Other than that this house is beautiful, and is WAY more interesting that the modern reno in the other thread.
shillstoner, why are you saying the master bath is a hideous outrage? If the owners had more space than they needed and decided they wanted a huge bath, what’s wrong with that? I could see your point, and would completely agree, if it was one of those new condo jobs that are much smaller in size, but have extra large bathrooms. In such cases, I don’t understand why someone would want the bathroom taking up such a large percentage of the square footage. But in this case, there’s ample room to do it.
okay exactly HOW Is a large bathroom a blight on urbanity? it’s not like they added a moon pod on the top of the building or a huge driveway or anything. they just like having space in a bathroom. much better to have one giant bathroom than a bathroom for every bedroom. i didnt see the pic of the bathroom. do they have his & his toilets? those always make me giggle.
*rob*
How can the same people who did such a nice job on the kitchen and other rooms have been responsible for that hideous outrage of a master bath? But, other than that one sin against urbanity, the house is a stunner.
Regarding the price, I’d bet 2.5M, but then again someone could just fall in love with it and overpay.
goldie…maybe she’s Jean Paul’s sister.
clearly having agent katherine (states she was voted among top 50 agents in the u.s. by wsj) justifies the markup. she looks a’ight.
sam…are you OK?? You were worrying us this morning! 🙂
