Houses of the Day: Head-to-Head in The Heights
Douglas Elliman currently has a pair of similarly-priced Brooklyn Heights 25-footers on the market that begs side-by-side comparison. At left is 118 Willow Street, a 7,200-square-foot brownstone asking $7,300,000; at right is 13 Cranberry Street, a 5,200-square-foot brick house listed at $7,390,000. Which do you think is a better deal? Which house is a better…

it’s good to have a range of prices in the house of the day feature, including homes at the very top echelon. as i understand it, the purpose is to highlight properties that are interesting for some reason or another, not to highlight properties that miss muffett and bayridgegirl can afford. if you’re looking to buy, do your own research. it’s easy!
There’s a few real brownstones in West Philly too. On Pine street near the seminary.
Philly real estate makes me cry it’s so affordable.
Exactly NorthHeights…like most Philadelphia houses of the 1800-1845 era. Very few actual brownstones down there either. Just a few around Rittenhouse Square…which is further from the river than Society Hill (the oldest section) and therefore slightly newer on some blocks.
And the really small older ones are called “trinity” style.
I’m with Miss Muffet, more affordable houses should be featured. That’s why I haven’t said a word about these, cause they’re out of my league and frankly I don’t care about them. Sure it would be nice to live in either, but that’s a dream for another life.
What I will say is Willow Street listing essentially has one picture of the interior. It’s the same room from different angles.
And floor plans for both listings are too blury to fully comprehend.
“Also I am no fan of the the re-bricked up facade on Cranberry. I don’t think it’s proper to call that building a brownstone now.”
Who said it’s been re-bricked? That’s the original facade. Of course it’s not proper to call it a brownstone – it never was. It’s a federal style brick house, built before brownstone came into favor.
Why is it that every house for sale in Bklyn heights always seems to be the house MOONSTRUCK was filmed in?
Stoner, can you please feature more affordable homes? Houses like this seem really unusual, and totally beyond the price of most, if not all the people reading this blog. Also, it’s annoying how you seem to feature the houses that distort the picture of the NYC real estate market…
I’d take either, but still have managed to live on Willow for a lot less.
The MS house was on the market for 18 months or more. Great corner location. Parking to boot.
Directly across from #19, a brief exterior night scene from The Verdict shows Paul Newman going to see a judge. Looks just like Beacon Hill in the film.
Nothing priced at 7 million dollars can be considered a good deal.
