House of the Day: 171 State Street
Very nice indeed! 171 State Street just hit the market and it’s a beauty. The center-stair brownstone in Brooklyn Heights has mucho original charm—fireplaces, pier mirrors, parquet out the wazoo. Given the charm factor and the location, the asking price of $2,895,000 sounds reasonable to us. Thoughts? 171 State Street [Corcoran] GMAP P*Shark

Hey, they DID borrow their neighbor’s facade, and this house is only 19 ft across… check Google Maps: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=171+state+street,+brooklyn&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=171+State+St,+Brooklyn,+NY+11201&gl=us&ei=4APFSoH5NJDDlAeC1qSSAw&ved=0CAwQ8gEwAA&ll=40.690515,-73.992684&spn=0,359.98071&z=16&iwloc=A&layer=c&cbll=40.690488,-73.992568&panoid=4s-g5U3tV8s7k7oq3rtm4Q&cbp=12,14.94,,0,-1.04
There’s a second doorway just to the left of that shot — so the left side of that pic is definitely another house. Never been inside a central stair brownstone, so I don’t know how that works. Unless it’s the wrong house. In which case it is not adjacent to the movie theater.
You are correct, 11217. The house is just behind the theater, and looking at the plants in the yard, it gets a minimal amount of direct light. This location is probably the worst thing about the house, although technically in BH. The way that theater is run, you know it will burn down one of these days. I would check for noise complaints as well.
I think that’s correct, this is the house that is adjacent to the movie theater building. It is the end house of the row. That should shave some dollars off the final price.
By looking at the map, this house is right at the end of the block, possibly even attached to the movie theatre.
“Anyway its not parquet, its butter”
ROFL! Thanks, wasder. That cracked me up.
That’s the whole facade, it is a two-bay house, that’s why the interior features a central stair. The cinema is at the end of the block and faces Court Street along with many other businesses. This block along State Street is solidly residential, very quiet, and very picturesque.
These 2+ million dollar homes are really starting to bore me.
It’s like Colbert Platinum, but not nearly as funny.
Is anyone on this blog really in the market for one of these things? Or qualified to give a qualified appraisal?
What a waste of time.
is the movie theater the reason they only show 2/3 of the front facade (and borrow their neighbor’s for the remainder)? weird.
Didn’t the house one or two down just chop their ask price to below $2.5M?
