Zoinks! This is quite the listing. $7,500,000 for a five-story, 7,800-square-foot house at 146 Willow Street in Brooklyn Heights. Of course, it needs a complete gut renovation, which makes one wonder whether the $1,000-a-foot asking price is justified, despite the prime Heights location and architectural quality of the house. What do you think it will sell for?

  1. Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
    Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
    I said dreamer, you’re nothing but a dreamer,
    Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
    I said “Far out, – What a day, a year, a life it is!”
    You know, – Well you know you had it comin’ to you,
    Now there’s not a lot I can do

    Dreamer, you silly little dreamer;
    So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
    I said “Far out, – What a day, a year, a life it is!”
    You know, – Well you know you had it comin’ to you,
    No there’s not a lot I can do.

    We’ll work it out someday

    If I could see something
    You can see anything you want boy
    If I could be someone-
    You can be anyone,celebrate boy.
    If I could do something-
    Well you can do something,
    If I could do anything-
    Can you do something out of this world?

    Take a dream on a Sunday
    Take a life, take a holiday
    Take a lie, take a dreamer
    Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along…

    Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
    Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
    I said dreamer, you’re nothing but a dreamer
    Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
    OH NO!

  2. 118 Willow had a similarly absurd ask of 7.5m and finally sold for 5m last August. It’s currently undergoing a renovation.
    124 sold for 4.1m in 2007 and is finishing a two-year total gut.

    This house is not nearly as nice.

  3. looks like an investment more than a home. So, if you turn it into five condos at 1000-1200sft, and sell them for $1 million each, you’ll be $4 million in the hole after $1.5 million reno.
