House of the Day: 33 Willow Place
This new listing at 33 Willow Place looks pretty swanky. The brick single-family house is 25 feet wide and full of original details. The house has clearly had a renovation recently, and overall it looks very tastefully done. Given the size, condition and primo Brooklyn Heights location, the asking price of $3,750,000 isn’t completely crazy….

Thanks for all the nice comments about my book Restoring a House in the City! Some of you have been incredibly supportive and I appreciate it. Yes, this house is in my book. It’s a very pretty house with beautiful light and a great block. The kitchen is a (very small) jewel. There is a large backyard with a Japanese garden structure erected by the previous owner. But it’s true that the kitchen is compact and the bathrooms are basically miniscule, and therefore this house is not for everyone. It will be interesting to see how it does. Anyway thanks again for all your support. Keep an eye on my website–IngridAbramovitch.com–for upcoming appearances in the NYC area. I can also be contacted there.
oops, 3pm, schools are out!

Someone warn the children.
Like. The kitchen makes me smile.
What’s wrong with rent controlled tenants (as long as you are not the landlord)?
really like the kitchen.

Crank — I think it’s a substation for the IRT line that runs up Joralemon, but I don’t know what else they use it for.
The one at the other end of Willow has been for sale forever at 2.8, and still hasn’t found a buyer.
This house is 1 block from the BQE, and right next to the giant (and loud) subway fan. Street still vibrates; there’s no parking nearby, no services within a few blocks, and oodles of poor rent controlled tenants on this block and columbia pl.
Not to mention: The house is small for the price. You could get more space and amenities for the price at 1BBP.
Mopar — you like Willow more than Sidney or Garden? Willow Place is a very nice block, but I think it’s still not as lovely as Sidney.
