House of the Day: 28 Middagh Street
42 Middagh Street is charming as all heck from the outside, and the modern renovation that was recently performed on it looks quite tastefully done as well. Still, the asking price of the Brooklyn Heights house seems pretty pricey at $4,200,000, especially when you consider the current owners paid only $1,280,000 back in 2004. We’re…

We’re sure they didn’t scrimp on the makeover but we also doubt they dropped three million bucks on it. Thoughts?

Price aside, I do like the renovation. one of the more successful that I have seen in terms of reconciling the historic with the modern.
OMG not those kinds of chairs!!!! am i the only person who whenever they sit in those weirdly shaped chairs they fall!?
*rob*
As Ringo points out, it was a wreck.
It had been occupied by the same family for decades when they sold it in 2004. The old lady still had her long-dead husband’s hats on the hat rack in the front hall.
I’m surprised that no one has taken into consideration that there is a garage spot AND a backyard in Brooklyn Heights, no less.
No problem gemini. I shouldn’t have said nobody wanted to deal with it, because *i* wanted to deal with it, but my partner in crime did not. But oh, a garage!
This house is actually set up as a two family–there’s a kitchen in the third floor. Why would anyone do this at this price range?
Ringo – thanks for answering my question
I think they did a nice job with many of the renovations, but 100% my style- but very nice!
I doubt they put 3mm into it, but I can tell you it was a dump when they bought it. Uninhabitable. They worked on it for maybe a full year. Maybe longer. And the facade was so so so much worse.
It was on the house tour a couple of years back. Not my style and I think the price is high, but they previous sale price wasn’t a steal. It had been for sale for a long time and nobody wanted to deal with it.
ds, I guess it’s like all the architects and their funny looking specs.
