House of the Day: 276 Berkeley Place
This knock-your-socks-off mansion at 276 Berkeley Place in Park Slope was on the market back in 2006 for $4,250,000 but never sold. Now the 36-foot-wide Romanesque Revival house, which is full of drool-worthy historic detail, is back on again—this time for $4,200,000. Given that it’s 9,000 square feet and 11 bedrooms, the price doesn’t seem…

Would it be just an unforgivable sin to add an extra kitchen on one of the top floors?
The house is gorgeous, but as ..jokester mentioned, that’s a tremendous amount of room and space for one family, expecially when dinner time would consist of 10-15 people all storming down the stairs to have thei supper.
An upper kitchen would allow you to invite grandparents or a sibling and their kids into the house and give them their own complete living space.

yeah. if you have a chronic case of trunkbutt and can’t make it from the bed to a bathroom in time? POO MIST! but the more i watch HGTV i guess i have to accept that people really do like to sleep where they poop. ICK! what’s wrong with America? why don’t you just stick an ice machine on the side of the bidet while youre at it?
*rob*
– and no single family could possibly use all those rooms.
Why not? They could be used as rooms to show people when they come over.
Just to give you an idea, the house 3 doors down (270) sold back in 2007 for $3,350,000. At 20.5 feet wide, it couldn’t have been nearly as ginormous…

This would go for way more in Gravesend.
yea…the *width* is impressive.
Oh, maybe Kate Plus Eight… how much does TLC pay her to show her train wreck of a life on TV?
Someone said to me the other day, “…such and such is like a brownstone, lots of elegant rooms but no closets.”
9,000 square feet and 11 bedrooms?! What the hell do you do with that??
I grew up in a house with 8 bedrooms, but I don’t think it was anywhere near 9,000 sq ft! That farkin’ enormous!
Oh, and only nutjobs have as many kids as my parents… so I can’t imagine why you would have this many rooms. The price tag is waaaaaay too high to try to make a living as a B&B and no single family could possibly use all those rooms.
