177 St. James Place is one of a pair of narrow Romanesque Revival houses designed in 1888 by the prominent Brooklyn architect Mercein Thomas for a man named Russell Engs, who resided at 86 Cambridge Place (which has been on and off the market for years). Now the 12-foot-wide brick house is on the market for $1,150,000. Since the house is only 2,440-square-feet, it’s not a bargain on a size basis, but it is a chance to own a real charmer of a house in Clinton Hill for a not-huge price tag. Has anyone looked at it yet?

Hey Middle Aged Don Juan (Sam):
Trickery and treachery are the practices of fools that have not the wits enough to be honest.
There’s never any trickery involved, sam. But perhaps you’re right. Maybe than can do a case study of this place for the “Homebuying for Hipsters” class.

Oh, Sam…now that’s funny!!!!!
But I guess, some Don Juans don’t know that this is overpriced and advice youngin’s to buy it.
DIBS,
My advise was geared to our younger readers, not to middle-aged don juans who already know every trick in the book.
People who try to use their cutsie little house as a replacement for shortcomings in the bedroom are only fooling themselves.
my my my….Sam knows slang!
He caught me, naughty me.
