Truman’s Place Still For Sale!
Truman's Place Still For Sale!
Capote, that is! But why is this cheerful, vine covered home still for sale? This ever so charming Brooklyn townhouse, said to be Brooklyn's most fabulous house, was put on the market at $18m in May 2011 and is still sitting there unoccupied and unloved even with a price drop down to under $15m.
Like a jewel box inside, this 5-story, double width Greek Revival home was built in 1839 in the 4-square plan with interior period detail designed by Minard Lafever. Exquisite down to every finite square inch, even the most avid historic-house connoisseur will be thrilled with the craftsmanship. The home is comprised of 9,000 livable square feet and the basement has another 2,000. With 11 bedrooms and 7.5 baths, you will never run out of space for overnight guests and will still have plenty of rooms to devote to hobbies. There are 11 fireplaces, promising to make the holidays a sparkling and cozy time. The back yard Charleston-style veranda overlooks a pastoral, lush garden with lawn, mature trees and flowerbeds, making it very hard to believe you're only minutes from Manhattan! We can't imagine a lovelier place to live in NY.
January price reduction but still no buyer. Brooklyn home reduced $3m to $14,995,000
