House of the Day: 96 Joralemon Street
Not too shabby! This three-family house at 96 Joralemon Street is top-shelf — and the price reflects it. The 4,600-square-foot property is divided up into three units, including a doctor’s office on the ground floor. Both the upper triplex and parlor-floor simplex are attractively renovated and full of old-school charm. So there’s no question that…

Both the upper triplex and parlor-floor simplex are attractively renovated and full of old-school charm. So there’s no question that lots of folks will be salivating over this place. The only question is whether they’ll be willing to shell out $3,600,000 for the privilege of owning it.

Miss muffett, if you’ve followed my posts over the years, you know I’m going to have to agree with you on that one, at least partly.. I guess as long as the rental unit isn’t ABOVE is what really matters.
Also, there’s a nice roofdeck off the bedrooms but that’s a bit inconvenient for entertaining. I’d want a deck off the kitchen and a stairway there to the yard but that’s a bit steep from the third floor!!!!
nice!!!!!!!!!!!
maybe the buyer can treat the parlor flr as the in-law suite – ie dont be prick to send us to geezer housing when you can afford a premo house in BK heights
Eh, this one isn’t doing anything for me. I like the 1840s marble fireplaces. But the floor plan is all weird and what is with those fireplaces at the end surrounded by window and little cupboards? Ew. Too much of a jumble.
I can see someone who buys a 3.5 mil house perhaps wanting rental income, but it’s harder for me to imagine such a buyer being willing to forgo the parlor floor and have to walk up an additional flight of stairs to their main living floor. This also means having no access to garden. Seems like a very odd configuration, to say the least.
This would be a nice house for doctor. A successful doctor, all right, a plastic surgeon.
I walk by this house all the time, it is exquisite, and like many Heights houses, unique. That beautiful oriel is really something.
What kind of 3.6M buyer would want to be a landlord?

One that can’t afford the whole $3.6MM on his own. there are plenty of those out there.
Lovely, But before I take it I just need to establish a medical practice….maybe plastics? That would maybe pull in enough to pay the mtg. Yikes those taxes! Are they high or not?

love the location. not sure about the layout. i would prefer to have a backyard and less bedrooms. the lot seems short and i don’t think for this price i would want a roof deck as a compromise. the owner should take 4 floors and keep the doctors office.
