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.

Beautiful house on a lovely block. I have often admired the remarkable copper bay with its stained glass. It’s great to get a peak inside via the realtor’s photos.
One of the minuses is the real estate tax. That’s suburban tax in the city. Youza! It should make the “soak the rich” crowd happy.
The Champions walked by here yesterday while on our evening stroll. I love this street (much quieter than most given the dead end at the end of the street).
Wonderful home on a beautiful street. If you have the money, this has everything.
I sort of like the exposed air duct, THL. I just can’t figure out if that’s the breakfast room?
Maybe his/hers (or his/his, hers/hers) toilets so they can sit side-by-side.
Holy Moses this is gorgeous (I’m not even going to complain about the exposed air duct).
Yes please!
It’s obviously a love toilet. Way fancier than a bidet.

Probably a bidet, chicken. It’s a beautiful house on a beautiful block (though I personally don’t care for their decorating choices). If only I was planning to spend $6 million on a house. The only thing that confuses me is what they’re using for a dining room? Is it in the rear portion of the parlor? I see photos with 2 different tables, but the breakfast room looks empty.
ah – makes sense. You’d think they would have a different icon for it though.
Oh, by the way, the price is nutso.
chicken, the uber rich can not stand a clogged toilet so instead of interrupting the poop session to plunge the toilet, the 2 toilet option allows you to just hope over to the other one. once you’re done, call in the maid to take care of the clogged toilet
