I personally love the yellow brickwork, the gorgeous windows and the columned "Charleston porch", such a fabulous garden space this close to Manhattan is quite a find.
Lots of potential too with regard to the decor.
The house has a lot of history too....Truman Capote lived and wrote here.
I'm just off to get a mortgage organised Simone but first I'll check if we've got a spare $14 million in cash to play with !!!!!!!! haha

It's wonderful that these old townhomes have gardens in the back, so unusual for the big city. Brooklyn Heights is a very very special place, indeed. Great post, Simone.

ReplyDeleteThis makes me think of Friends, as almost everything does. When Phoebe dates the cop, he asks her to look in the paper for apartments. She acts like she couldn't find any. He shows her the listings. "Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn Heights!"
ReplyDeleteThat porch looks like it's in
ReplyDeleteKey West, Fl. not Brooklyn.
