House of the Day: 3 Monroe Place

This Greek Revival house at 3 Monroe Place in Brooklyn Heights is a beauty but the fact that it’s a three-family house probably narrows the pool of potential buyers, particularly those who want to buy in the Heights. The ground-floor owner’s duplex looks very charming indeed (though someone dropping close to $4 million for a home will probably expect a slightly grander kitchen). As lovely a house and great a location as this is, we just don’t see how they end up getting close to the asking price of $3,800,000, do you?

For $3.8 mm I get to sleep in the basement and have a tenant bouncing around on my living room ceiling?
Clay Lancaster’s book dates to 1961 not 1979. Additionally, this house appears in the frontispiece, not the cover.
The house on the cover of the 1979 second edition is 111 State Street. You can lie about real estate, but not about books. Especially venerable books such as “Old Brooklyn Heights”.
Be aware that this house is next door to the corner house known as 100 Clark Street. That building was a terrible rent-controled dump of a place(of course originally it was a magnificent Greek-revival mansion). Last year the Department of Buildings vacated the house and partially demolished it due to a large bulge on the Clark Street facade. Now it is wrapped up in some kind of plastic wrap and its future is dubious to say the least.
Nothing spectacular here except for the location…not worth anything close to asking in fact minimun $1.5millions OFF.
BTW MrB you think this a beauty really? Eye of beholder right?
Taxes are $14K because it is a three-family $3M+ house in Brooklyn Heights! Can’t blame the broker and current owner for that!
This has got to be THE WORST WEBSITE LISTING for a house anywhere near this price point.
Good job Corcoran.
Wow where to start:
Why are the taxes $14K a year?
and why only 4 pics on the website if this house is soooo famous?
Does the picture of the kitchen belong to the Owners duplex, because if it does, that stove is as small as an Easy Bake Oven?
and again , someone tell me WHY OH WHY is this house priced close to 4 million?
Kitchen photo appears to be the 4th floor rental… odd ….
Hey Brownstoner there is a house across the street from you and it’s on the market. What’s it going for??

Because we haven’t included them in any of the photos which we don’t think is necessary to generate initial interest. MORON.
