HOTD: 'Nuther Price Cut at 135 Joralemon Street
We think the owner of 135 Joralemon Street did an absolutely incredible job restoring (and then styling) the former Brooklyn Heights burn-victim and hope that he makes a solid return for his efforts (everyone on the block should be chipping in!). So far, though, the pricing has proven to be overly-aggressive. The house, which in…
We think the owner of 135 Joralemon Street did an absolutely incredible job restoring (and then styling) the former Brooklyn Heights burn-victim and hope that he makes a solid return for his efforts (everyone on the block should be chipping in!). So far, though, the pricing has proven to be overly-aggressive. The house, which in its pre-renovated form went for $2,400,000, has been gradually ticking downward since being listed last summer for $5,950,000. The latest price cut, from $5,250,000 to $4,950,000 came yesterday. Will it be enough to move the 3,200-square-foot house? We have no idea.

“… a PRESERVATIONIST minded blog!”
You wish baldy!
7:50 is definitely projecting.
All 7:28 was doing was responding to someone who was waxing nostalgic about this house as if it were a bad thing to renovate it. The truth being the former owner was an a-hole who took his inherited house and never took care of it, letting it become blighted.
How is that admirable, again?
This house might be overpriced, but people who spend a lot of money and time to save old houses, wow, you’d THINK they’d be praised on what is…..
a PRESERVATIONIST minded blog!
As usual, logic and reason rules around here.

That little tiny lego house is junk. Wanting to sell it for around $5 million is crazy. You are an idiot.
7:58 just sent the irony meter off the charts…
To an earlier post as to why brownstoner chooses overprice houses as HOTD..it’s to generate large amounts of hits on his apparently dieing blog. You see, the more people charm in the more recognition he gets, the more recognition he gets, the more advertising he gets. His goal is to one day sell his domain. The idea is to not be so S-T-U-P-I-D and allow him to make such a uncreditworthy (pun intended) living. But of course assholes will be assholes.
OK, so it’s not jealousy that causes you to wish death upon your neighbor. It’s all good then.
7:50,
Perhaps you are primarily motivated by jealousy in your own life and are projecting that on others? A little therapy never hurt anybody but I think you could use it more than I.
“I so wish he would pass on so we could put behind us his disgraceful legacy of neglect and irresponsibility.”
Wow, you are actually WISHING DEATH upon somebody because you are jealous of their house?
Seek therapy.
Grape? I don’t think so.
two houses down they have a grape arbor.
Ridiculous, but if you are into it, there it is. There was nothing nice about this house when the crazy former owner lived there. I believe he never did anything his entire life. Just lived in the house he grew up in and collected junk. He still lives in the Heights in yet another beautiful historic house his father left him. I so wish he would pass on so we could put behind us his disgraceful legacy of neglect and irresponsibility.
