Marvin, that’s the same house.
It’s called opening the wallet and paying for a good restoration.
WHEREVER that cornice-less house [picture now removed] might be , it looks pretty bad with it missing. With the cornice replaced it’d look as good as the correct picture that’s up now.
Re: Strong Place, Thank you!
That is a restoration job that was not nickeled-and-dimed.
wow! That restoration of the Strong Place house is amazing.
It got more than just a new cornice. All the masonry detail was put back as well. Dreamy. That old picture is really a dis-service to readers.
The Brooklyn Bridge Realty photo is of 47 Strong Place, we used an old photo of the building before its cornice was restored.
“That Cobble Hill house would be beautiful if the new owners were to replace the cornice; it looks pretty awful as is.”
That’s not the right house, it’s this one that sold for 2.7mm

As a side note, that pic of the Cobble Hill house isn’t right, if click the link it shows a different house in the previous open house pic.
Also, it looks like it’s the same size as that one from yesterday on President St. that was asking 1.7mm.
11217,
Yesterday when I was writing this the search engine was down, so I guess it didn’t pull up the second HOTD for 212 8th. I’ll add it in now! Thanks.
