House of the Day: 40 Joralemon Street
After being listed with Corcoran for a few months last year at $2,790,000, 40 Joralemon relaunched with Brown Harris Stevens last week at the significantly lower asking price of $2,300,000. The location’s obviously great but the house is just nice as opposed to some of the knock-your-socks-off listings that come up in Brooklyn Heights. And…
After being listed with Corcoran for a few months last year at $2,790,000, 40 Joralemon relaunched with Brown Harris Stevens last week at the significantly lower asking price of $2,300,000. The location’s obviously great but the house is just nice as opposed to some of the knock-your-socks-off listings that come up in Brooklyn Heights. And since the house is only 2,380 square feet, that asking price comes in at just under $1,000 per foot. Based on the photos, our favorite part of the house is that bedroom with the beautiful wide-plank floors and Greek Revival period mantelpiece.

“The location of this house is its strength. To say that any location in Brooklyn Heights is inconvenient to shopping or mass transit is just nonsense. The cobblestones are a plus in my book.”
Agree. Also, it’s a full block from the highway. Not ideal, but not on top of it either.
Many people moving to Brooklyn Heights want to be on quiet residential streets that are a few minutes walk from shopping and restaurants. But this seems to be an old and tired argument on here ..
Yes, I agree that it’s probably overpriced. But property shark could be incorrect also. Seems foolish to fudge the dimensions that much on a floor plan when a prospective buyer is so likely to check.
thwackamole, your comments are ignorant. The location of this house is its strength. To say that any location in Brooklyn Heights is inconvenient to shopping or mass transit is just nonsense. The cobblestones are a plus in my book.
Check your anti-Brooklyn Heights bias at the door please.
Does anyone know what 31 Joralemon (basically across the street and down the hill two or three houses) went for? It was listed at $1.5 but seemed like it need some work.
Once you factor in the width of the walls, which are bearing walls, the lath and plaster, I can’t imagine how the interior dimension could be 15 feet. Probably more like 14 feet nine inches. Not a dollhouse, true. But 2.3 million? Gulp!
The houses on willow went for 1.2-1.8 in unrenovated condition, but were much bigger.
This is on top of the subway (vibration!), on a steep cobblestoned street 10 minutes away from the aforementioned subway, nowhere near food or restaurants, and next to a noisy highway overpass.
It is small, poorly laid out, and 2x the price per foot of 1BBP.
1MM for the house and some huge amt for the ‘history’
Yes, it’s a more modest sized house. But a dollhouse? Unfair. The interior widths are all over 15-1/2′ wide, not 14.
according to property shark the lot is 16 X 66.
that makes the interior of the house 15 feet max (assuming the side bearing walls are only 6 inches thick each). Could they be fudging the dims? Possibly.
Love that fireplace! JEALOUS!
