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.

Packer and St. Ann’s are two of the best private schools in all of New York.
DIBS, we’ll shave $600K off the price to compensate for the less than perfect architectural details and stress of having to listen to those loud helicopters hovering over Brooklyn Heights all day long.
This was on the Brooklyn Heights House tour in 2008, along with recent HOTDs on Grace Court Alley and on Jouralemon.
And @more4less, when I went on the tour, there was lots of Packer memorabilia in the house.
m4l, my friends in the Heights send their kids to private school, mostly Packer and St. Ann’s.
I love the floorplan…it’s got all the right things…wink.
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.
do parents send kids to private school in the Heights? for some reason, don’t recall many posters bragging about the quality of the schools in the hood. Am thinking schools can be bad when house prices and ppty are this high
A bigger place? = Tongue in Cheek
tyburg, all you do is wine and complain about how po’ you are. youre worse than me sometimes!
*rob*
A bigger place?
Love the heights. Some wonderful homes.
This one is a beauty.
I suspect they’re using one of the ‘bedrooms’ on the upper floors as a dining room (or a place holder for the table until they get a bigger place) given that you can see the top of trees out the window.
