House of the Day: 16 Hunts Lane
This house at 16 Hunts Lane is so special from the outside–as is the mews it’s located on–that it’s a bit disappointing to see the interior finishes.

This house at 16 Hunts Lane is so special from the outside–as is the mews it’s located on–that it’s a bit disappointing to see the interior finishes. The choices are all so bland and, frankly, middle-market. There’s nothing particularly offensive, mind you, but a carriage house of this historic significance and prime location (smack in the middle of Brooklyn Heights) deserved better in our opinion. (Baseboard heating? Factory floors?) Despite the house’s small size (700 square feet), the asking price of $995,000 would have been easily achievable with higher-end interiors. As is, we’re not so sure. Because of its uniqueness, it still might happen. If you’re interested, there’s already been some discussion of this place over on Curbed.

it’s definitely a one of a kind place. if you compare it to other high end one bedrooms in BH, the price doesn’t look that crazy.
I don’t know how one can be sure that the floors are not hardwood floors from one tiny photo.As for the heating, why is it electric baseboard? Does it say that anywhere? I assume they are fan coil units.
thank goodness I’m not as picky as some of you. It must drive you crazy.
I think this is perfectly charming and nice. I don’t understand why neat and clean and white is “middle market”.
The fact that stargazer hates it is another point in its favor.

dave, I always assumed when you used that symbol it meant something else.
