A Tale of Two Brownstones: 192 and 194 Columbia Heights
Eye On Real Estate: One's for sale for $16 Million, the other's got bricked-up windows
This is a tale of two brownstones. What will prospective buyers of what could be Brooklyn’s priciest house make of it?
One of them is pristine 192 Columbia Heights – a magnificent, manicured 1850s brownstone with six bedrooms that’s for sale at an asking price of $16 million – which would be a record for Brooklyn if that’s what’s paid.
The other, right next door, is 194 Columbia Heights – padlocked, long vacant, with bricked-up and boarded-up windows facing the famed Promenade, widely considered to be one of landmarked Brooklyn Heights’ most mistreated properties.
