It’s looking like the folks who bought the 2,600-square-foot brick house at 18 Willow Place in Brooklyn Heights for $2,500,000 in 2006 aren’t going to make a whole lot of money, considering that they did a renovation and have relisted it at $2,850,000, not a lay-up price by any means. While the renovation looks thorough and conscientious, it’s not a look we like: A traditional style without any of the charm that an older space would have. Still, it’s sure to appeal to buyers who don’t want to scrimp on modern conveniences.

  1. I will put an offer on that place for 1 million rite now… CASH… That is my next home, if it comes down to my price.. And if I get it I will be inviting all you guys to come for the house warming party…

  2. Nice place. I like the brightness and the feel of the rooms. I think the price is high for a smallish house in a bad market, though. Even if it is Brooklyn Heights.

    Regarding facade, why are the windows and doors misaligned on this house and the one next to it? Did the house settle in this crooked manner? I’ve noticed the same thing with a similar row of houses on Joralemon.

  3. “It’s like one of those games where you circle the differences.”

    THL, I’m immediately contacting Floyd NY to ensure they have no less than two games of Photo Hunt on the bar for our March 19 gathering!

    Agree with Snark, re: the boring facade, but I think the inside looks beautiful. $2.85MM beautiful? I don’t think so.

  4. Ho-hum….nothing extraordinary.

    I would never ever put the cooktop at the edge of the counter. A little kid can grab the handle of a pot / pan, and oopsy not only is dinner all over the floor but child has burns.
    God, I hate bad / thoughtless design.

  5. I love Willowtown even tho everyone says it’s too rumbling down there due to IRT and that “people” will be coming down there to use the park (in 2035?)

    40 Joralemon has been on the market for a long time. Smaller but sweeter, and I think you could get it for under $2mm. http://www.40joralemon.com. Makes this a tough sell imo

  6. I’ve seen this place –it’s v nice, but somehow heartless and ill-proportioned. It’s too big for the kidless couple, too small for the yuppies with kids. At least, so methinks; I could be wrong.
