House of the Day: 14 Garden Place
We might as well start the year out with a bang…This four-story brownstone at 14 Garden Place in Brooklyn Heights is pretty spectacular. In fact, it looks about perfect. Beaucoup fireplaces and moldings, tasteful built-ins, high ceilings, updated kitchen, attractive backyard. Of course, the owners know what they’ve got and, at $4,700,000 (or $1,175 per…
We might as well start the year out with a bang…This four-story brownstone at 14 Garden Place in Brooklyn Heights is pretty spectacular. In fact, it looks about perfect. Beaucoup fireplaces and moldings, tasteful built-ins, high ceilings, updated kitchen, attractive backyard. Of course, the owners know what they’ve got and, at $4,700,000 (or $1,175 per square foot) have priced it accordingly high. It’s been on the market for more than two months now with no takers. Think that’ll change once the bonus money starts clearing?

The treads and risers are definitely painted white. I suspect that there’s also a white runner as well. That must be part of the destription of “European flair.” 🙁
“WAIT…I just noticed that the stair treads are white.”
Really? I can barely see, but they don’t look white to me. Riser looks white, but not the tread. Maybe carpeted?
Gotta agree on the kitchen tile, too, but that’s really nothing in the large scheme of things. Shouldn’t affect either the price, or someone’s desire for the house.
I think for the price, it lacks a few things, some of which have already been pointed out:
1. A large master bathroom, ensuite or not.
2. Large master closets
3. A small deck off the parlour level.
Where’s CarGar- I want this house. ET- I’ll give you the couch and you’re right. The kitchen tile has to go. What were they thinking?
WAIT…I just noticed that the stair treads are white.
What? WHY?!?!?!
Are they painted? Stained?
That’s a big NO NO for me.
While I’m shopping through this house. I’ll also take the runner behind the white sofa.
the kinds of people who make big bonus money do not want to live like someones great grandmother. it has everything i guess, but i think it’s a bit TOO much.
*rob*
“The furniture can go though.”
agree, except for the velvet sofa. Actually, they should throw that red sofa out next garbage day. When’s garbage day in the heights? I’ll be there 😉
