Big news! 287 Dekalb Avenue, the ornate Romanesque Revival house designed by Montrose Morris, appears to have gone into contract. We could not get confirmation from the broker, but a reader recently spotted a young couple having champagne on the stoop and lots of garbage being hauled to the curb–and the listing became unavailable at the end of last week. As you may recall, the house, which is located between Clinton and Waverly Avenues in Clinton Hill, started out last August listed at $2,250,000 before being reduced to $1,995,000 in February. We don’t know what the final selling price but given the location, provenance and level of architectural detail, anything under $2 million seems like a very solid buy to us.

Don’t worry, the house’s original interior details are safe with us, they’re a big part of the reason we bought the place. But there’s also a lot of stuff in there that was added in more recent decades, hence the garbage bags..
Also wanted to thank the Brownstoner community for inspiring us to make the move to Brooklyn, a lot of what we learned while doing our research came from these posts and comments.
PS. I *think* the stoop is private property so you can’t get a ticket there.. But we were so happy that day we were willing to chance it.
PPS. To those of you who remember the organ in the listing photos, we found someone who will take it into his home and restore it, so it’s in good hands.
The real issue here is the open container- they were not ticketed? Is the 81 slacking off? Stoop is only private if gated…be warned, they are ticketing homeowners on their on stoops all over Brooklyn….sad but true.

South of Highway East Hampton = DeKalb Avenue Brooklyn.
…..dunno
Under two million is discount pricing?
When exactly did this nabe become Palm Beach?
bx: you’re always right as far as I’m concerned.
An elliptically arched entry like this in a residential grouping is very rare. It is Morris at his best.
as are you in mine 🙂
Oh gorgeous! Serious house envy and if I’m correct, I think the arched doorways are very rare in Brooklyn and a hallmark of MM’s style. Minard- is that right?
Shhhhh…rob. She hates discussing her age.
