House of the Day: 22 Sidney Place
This charming house at 22 Sidney Place in Brooklyn Heights just hit the market with a price tag of $2,750,000. The 17-foot-wide house has lots of original details and the modernized, ground-floor kitchen is also quite attractive. We’re liking both the location and feel of the house.

It’s the most satisfying kind of house: great house, great location, shabby decor. All it needs is a bit of shine and polish to look exactly the way the new owner wants. For the address ans size, it’s well priced. Compare with the newish one on State street that was HOTD a few weeks ago. It’s no contest which one I would buy if I had this kind of money.
Given that he hates on kitchens all the time, Mr B actually likes this shabby one? Go figure.
I love this house. It’s one of 3 identical houses on Sidney Place. I walk by them daily and peer into the reception rooms (Image 15), which are really beautiful, with lots of beautiful woodwork, all of which appears lost here behind paint and furniture. The pictures really don’t do this house justice. I realize it’s only 17 feet wide, but I’m surprised the asking price is so “reasonable”. Yes, I realize that sounds utterly preposterous, but it seems that every house on Sidney Place goes for between $3.8 and $4 million – still. I agree with those who think this will go above ask. If I had that kind of money to spend on a house, I’d buy it without hestitation.
hot damn! i can smell the moth balls all the way from here! who decorated that place, sophia petrillo?
*rob*
Very nice.
With a little painting, it is in move-in condition.
Definitely a realistic asking price given the location.
It’s not for someone who needs rental income to cover their monthly costs because the layout does not lend itself to that. But it is for someone who wants a genteel single-family home in Brooklyn Heights.
22 Sidney is for sale?? I seem to remember addressing a Christmas card for here last year.
This may be the only time I say this on this board for a while, but I think this may go at or above ask.
I think brokers must have read that NYT’s article about bidding wars, because ask prices are becoming more “reasonable”.
This would have been $3m+ in 2007. Gut jobs on that block sold for $2.5m back then.
Looks very homey. Don’t like the painted red woodwork, but otherwise it looks nice. The price doesn’t seem bad either. Location is great.
Nice house on a nice block. Although it is not a wide house, it appears to be well laid out. Unless they need to sell post haste, this will go for at or over ask.
