House of the Day: 42 Grace Court
This new listing at 42 Grace Court is not for the faint-of-wallet, but if you’ve got the dosh, you could do a lot worse. The five-story, 6,500-square-foot brownstone has been restored in an eco-friendly manner while retaining most of its old-school cred.

This new listing at 42 Grace Court is not for the faint-of-wallet, but if you’ve got the dosh, you could do a lot worse. The five-story, 6,500-square-foot brownstone has been restored in an eco-friendly manner while retaining most of its old-school cred. Not that the eventual buyer will probably need it, but there’s also a potential income stream from a second unit. As for the asking price of $5,950,000, who the heck knows. At those levels, it’s anybody’s guess.

private school exists for parents who don’t want their children to be around poor people. it’s sad, but true

Not liking the powder room door in the kitchen…why didn’t they set it in the hallway?
I do love the copper bow window though. It better be in great shape or be prepared to spend $80-100,000 to replace it.

If an eligible bachelor is looking to buy this place, I wouldn’t mind being Mrs. Grace Court.

Minard, that was eerie – we said basically the same thing at the same time. WHO ARE YOU? 🙂
“I’m not feeling love for the plainness of the architectural details though. More would be better to warrant this price. There is no WOW factor here for me other than the facade.”
This was my initial thought, too, Dave. But then I looked and noticed nice doors, moldings, fireplaces, floors. Not “wow” but very nice, if understated. Not to attack the homeowners, but I think their furniture and choice of paint colors are what make the house look bland.
