No Takers, 43 Love Lane Now For Rent As Well
The whole selling thing hasn’t panned out for the nouveau carriage house at 43 Love Lane in The Heights (it started asking $3,500,000 almost two years ago and is now down to $2,499,000) so now they’re testing the rental waters as well: The 2,300-square-foot pad is asking a fairly astonishing monthly rent of $9,500. Who…

Who has that kind of cash anymore?
Hannible! Now’s your chance. Someone has lost their Wall St. job and can’t rent or sell at last year’s crazy prices.
This would be a sweet flophouse. And walking distance to Biff’s stoop, where me and my buddies can drink 40s of miller high life @ 4am (considering stoops are public property)
Or is it a CVS?
Interesting Bayridgegirl. I always thought the name came from what was originally a brothel====>D’Agostinos====>Rite Aid
Aaahhh…Love Lane
– History of the Name
Dating from before the revolutionary War, this lane divided the DeBevoise and Pierrepont estates. Two older, unmarried members of the DeBevoise family, John and Robert, adopted young Sarah, the daughter of their housekeeper. She later charmed a wealth of gentlemen callers. According to local folklore, Love Lane comes from the so-called love-lines – initials of Sarah DeBevoise and her suitors – scrawled across the fence near their home.
– From the book, ‘Brooklyn By Name’
Thanks Ringo. I realize the JW’s will still try to sell it, but I’m just hoping it’ll go through a condo conversion like 166 Montague rather than being used for student residences. Although it’s hard to imagine who would want to convert and sell condos these days, even in a building as beautiful as the Bossert.
The Bossert is still being marketed. It would be hard to put financing together, but not impossible. NYU has looked at it. Don’t exhale yet.
Make My Heights the P Heights, YOU JUST MADE MY DAY! Thank you. Think what one will of the Witnesses, they keep their buildings in great shape.
Biff – the Bossert deal fell through. The developer (Robert Levine) couldn’t put the financing together. That building will not be sold until the market/financing conditions improve.
