OMG this place is awesome! This 1905 1889 Romanesque Revival house at 287 Dekalb Avenue has some of the sickest original detail we’ve ever seen in Clinton Hill. The house, which appears to have been in the same family for over three decades, was designed by Montrose Morris, we learned from the LPC designation report on the Clinton Hill Historic District. Here’s some more from that report: “Nos. 285-289 form one of the outstanding rows in Brooklyn…They were designed in such a way as to give the effect of one large mansion. The facades of these buildings display the textural and chromatic contrasts that are a hallmark of Romanesque Revival style buildings.” The asking price is $2,250,000. We are very jealous of whoever gets to buy this place!

  2. Oh my god! I have always loved this building from the exterior. Psyched to see the inside–great real estate porn. All things considered that seems like a decent price for such an amazing property.
