House of the Day: 29 Grace Court
Someone’s not afraid of a little pink! This new listing at 29 Grace Court in Brooklyn Heights is pretty intense, and we’re not just talking paint color. The 25-foot-wide brownstone in Brooklyn Heights has a massive parlor floor complete with beaucoup original details. (That interior staircase is a bit of a bummer though.) The configuration…
Someone’s not afraid of a little pink! This new listing at 29 Grace Court in Brooklyn Heights is pretty intense, and we’re not just talking paint color. The 25-foot-wide brownstone in Brooklyn Heights has a massive parlor floor complete with beaucoup original details. (That interior staircase is a bit of a bummer though.) The configuration is a bit odd—2.5 floor owner’s duplex, a ground floor studio and two floor-throughs—but hopefully some well-heeled preservationist will take the $6,200,000 bait and convert the place back to a single-family mansion. Imagine the parties you could throw on that parlor floor!

This place does need work, it especially needs to have the center of the cornice put back.
But it is a very, very special property, IMO.
I’m certain this listing was discussed on an earlier HOTD thread – someone posted it as a comment and suggested that DIBS would like the pink – anyone remember?
Wow, what a joint. I agree with Minard. It’s all about scale, scale, scale.
The pink and blue makes my teeth hurt but what’s a little paint among friends? Really want to see the floorplan. There’s a strange panel on the rear parlor wall by the internal staircase. What’s with that? But the oddest feature has to be the way the cornice has been cut back to create a balcony suspended over the front facade. That’s truly weird and would be pricey to fix.
yes but 42 grace court was renovated nicely and totally move in condition. this place looks like it needs 1mm of work (im just guessing since we only see crappy parlor pics) i assume baths/kitchen need to be all redone and anyone who would want this would want central air and in a place like this that is quite a undertaking since you would want to preserve all the detail.
jennitrixie, I KNEW that was the broker you were talking about as soon as I saw your post, and just checked the listing, and sure enough!
so, is the sofa included in the price?
The closest comp is number 42 Grace, which sold last month for five million. That house is not 25-feet wide like this one.
That BHS broker always seems to have the laziest listings. Also, when he’s doing rentals, he doesn’t even come with you–he sends an assistant/intern.
“mouldings”, ET? Really?
What do you have against mouldings?
