A Rare Find in Brooklyn - Open House TV

- This Brookyln home is a rare find. So rare in fact, that the Architect built this home, and only this home! A historic victorian home in Prospect Park South.
It’s not often homes like this hit the market. The 10,000 + square-foot mansion, features ionic columns, a dramatic ballroom and plenty of historic details.
Friend to the show, Ryan Serhant from Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing New York gives us the tour.

This house was sold in January of 2017. Wish the new owners would post a video so we could see how they decorated the interior. This house is beautiful.
My daughter live in Manhattan ten minutes drive to this place.Very good price but not our cup of tea.
Well if I had $18,000 to spare in property taxes I’d love to. Property taxes are evil. Only half the people that could afford the upfront price on that house, would have the disposable income to be able to afford the property tax, but I guess that’s what New York City is being geared towards these days, not those that could save up for this house after 50 years, but who could afford to pay for it afterwards for all the government expenditures, which means Young Money, or entrepreneur, because to afford that tax after the federal income tax alone on a good yearly paycheck of 120-150k... is difficult, after paying food, private and public service expenditures, insurance,
Looks like they only bought it to flip. Its for sale again. They did a very nice job fixing it up. Only problem is they need a very rich buyer as its like 5x more expensive now. =(
It's on tiktok now. Selling again for 13 mill.
Caleb W Simpson has a tour of the house on yt now
I’d love to go back to 1905, just to see what life was like.. the houses there are beautiful
No showing of kitchen, bathrooms, basement or backyard. Hummmm?
This brings back so many memories of my younger years. I grew up on 364 Argyle Road - just a few blocks down from the home featured in this video. I walked, biked and drove on Albemarle Road hundreds of times and I saw this home as many times over the 20 years that I lived in Brooklyn. I always admired this particular home as it was my favorite big home on Albemarle Road.
Lucky you!!! I lived in a small one bedroom apt with my whole family between Westminster and Ave H, I love those big houses.
I lived on the corner of Church & Argyle. PS 139 & Erasmus Hall HS. Roller skated on Albemarle Rd.
*The women would talk about...POLITICS!*
Yes, especially right now they are...
While "Corinthian columns" may be alliterative, they ain't Corinthian. They're ionic.
"I love being a real estate agent....while I wait for my big break."
This would make an amazing bnb!!!! But the ballroom ceilings are just way too low. 😳 More like a great dance studio.
Yeah, I'm thinking that's a modern change to the original. The ceilings ARE too low. Unless it was just bad design in the first place. My grandparents' home was smaller: two living rooms, dining room, grand hall, housekeeper's suite (bedroom, sitting room, bath), kitchen and 1/2 bath plus closet for guests' coats on the ground floor; bedroom/ dressing room/ bathroom suite across the front of the house on the second floor, with another bedroom/en suite bath on that floor; family sitting room across the back with a solarium off the sitting room. It was built for a family of THREE: parents, one daughter (railroad tycoon). The third floor was four bedrooms and two bathrooms - and all for the servants. My suspicion is that the top floor of this Brooklyn house was servants' quarters, especially based on the lower ceilings, apparently than you find on the 'family' floors. The only thing that makes me doubt is that there doesn't seem to be a separate staircase for the servants, which my grandparents' house did have, and only that staircase reached the top floor.
Funny that is what I would do with the ballroom : a dance studio.
someone taking their caps AND their GOWNS? uh...sounds like you're undressing when you come in?
Yes, he screwed up there. Lol
Unless it was like an olden day version of a swingers party? Leave your caps and gowns at the door.
He should've said, "...hats & their wraps (coats, capes, etc)"
This is a beautiful, home. Even though it may need work. I live about 20 minutes from it. Where it really feels like Brooklyn.
OMG Ryan! I love the house. You did a fabulous showing of the homes Beauty & Glory from past till present🔆
Beautiful home!!! So much character!
Love it! Needs some TLC however. But would be gorgeous if the right buyer comes along!
3 million dollars??? THAT’S CHEAP FOR THOSE MANSIONS
Awesome. Love it. Beautiful place needs a forever family.
I have passed by this home many times and claimed it as my own (in my mind of course). I believe a movie was made inside years ago
gayle2020 being doing the same since i was a kid....
Gayle what is the name of the movie that was made there ? I'd love to see it .That's a beautiful home & I would love to go in it for a look around .
Missjuly 13 Genius not looking like neither 1 of them is going to tell the name is it lol.
Missjuly13 Genius if I find out first I'll let u know what it is & appreciate u doing the same & ur rite they probably getting laughs but 1 of us will find it hopefully then we'll be the 1's laughing lol.
i think the film made in da house is Debbie Does Dallas ! just saying!!
I’ve never seen a historical mansion with a low ceiling ballroom. Now I have.
built in 1905. you know many people have died in that house
Mike Hunt they better pay some rent or keep it moving.
Mike Hunt , and gotten Married or been born.
😆😆😆
Beautiful and you make it so fun to watch!!
Lovely home.
I live in Brooklyn and my tiny 15x40 foot 2 floor (top floor is 15x30 feet) and an unfinished basement. The house with worth 2 million. We own 2 of these things as in 2009 when we bought them they were $250k each. Crazy how NY prices work.
Magnificent Video! 💪😀 I admire your videos! 🔥
BEAUTIFUL
Beyond beautiful
Beautiful.
OMG I wanted to see tons more of that amazing house... 4 minutes just wasn't enough!
But, I am so very happy that you gave us a glimpse of something so incredible though.
Just a spectacular home in a million ways!
Hello its beautifull
ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
This is a beautiful home I would love to go in there & just look around I know I could bring it back to life guarantee it .
Love this house and it looks like a very diverse neighborhood
outside definitely needs to be painted. looks neglected
I think this man done just fine showing this home .
Love that house!!
I wish he knew the difference between Corinthian and Ionic columns tho...
Love it. Looks like the the houses in Virginia. Hope the house finds a forever family.
Glad it finally sold. I still can't believe the former owners took such good care of the interior and let the exterior basically sit there and rot.
Super cool, thank you.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ love it!!
Wow!! This house should be in the south, it looks like a old plantation home, very beautiful. I wonder how many ghost live there from the past?
you mean blacks?
love this house.
that's an awesome house tbh
As beautiful as this house is, i sense a coldness and I find it creepy. I wouldn't like to be on my own in this house. Also the entrance with the huge pillars remind me of a mausoleum, lol.
I think its beautiful.
I was thinking the same thing. It's beautiful yet very creepy somehow
dragonfly6908 One thing is certain and it's not Georgian lol
Beautiful
😍😍😍😍loved omg
I love these old grand houses..I always wanted to see what it looks like inside..At one time when this house was shiny brand new it must have been out right gorgeous!...It's still beautiful, but needs a lot of work inside and outside as well....But the beauty is still there, just needs TLC and a whole lot of MONEY!
I sure wish that I was rich! That is such an amazing house!!!
The house has since been renovated please do an update on it. Thanks!
gorgeous home. I'm in love. :) It has been sold to a forever family. yay!
Right across from the Halloween House... nice. Always loved Prospect Park South. Seemed like an oasis in a desert. Beautiful and diverse architectural styles, reminiscent of suburban Virginia, Westchester and upstate NY. But walk 5 blocks in any direction and you'll see the real Brooklyn. Not sure I'd pull the trigger on 13M even if I had it, in spite of the beauty and history associated with this home.
He described the columns wrong. They are ionic columns not corinthian. Three types of columns (learned from from my HS Latin class) are Ionic (scroll),
Corinthian (based on the acanthus leaf -- related to the thistle), and Doric (plain).
Great presentations!!! I wasn't impressed until I heard the spiel and saw the interiors.
Show us more!! You were just getting started....and I am amazed that the area is '15 minutes away from downtown Manhattan"!!
Beauty...like something you'd find upstate.
'15 minutes to Downtown NY"...? Right! It used to take me at least 45 minutes to get to Grand Central by subway, sometimes over one hour on the weekends. Let's see if Ryan takes his camera crew outside the tiny neighborhood (1.5 x 5 blocks) where this house sits in... to check on the real Brooklyn.... SCARY! Especially at night. It's like being in another country. Another continent. Good luck with selling the house. Cheers.
carriebtc My cousin lived near this house. There was a great Ethiopian restaurant nearby.::>> She moved to Connecticut.
On the B train its a 20 minute ride from the downtown manhattan
Dream house😍
OMG in Brooklyn who would of thought.
Prospect Park South is not a 'marketing device', it's a beautiful neighborhood. This video is a marketing device!
Ohhhhh it's lovely! New owners please post update 🙏
Would have like to see bathrooms and kitchen. Great house.
15 min from Manhattan? Double it.
Cameigh lower Manhattan
Gourgeous Mansion
This is gorgeous but a definite fixer upper. $2.6 for the house and at least $1 mill for the reno
My neighborhood lmbo I love it!!! I’m watching my neighborhood! Also a great elementary school P.S. 139
I always love that area ... born and breed in Brooklyn I told my dad I would loveeee to buy a home in that neighborhood he says those homes are million dollars homes 😱 talking about dream killed ! Beautiful tho 👌
It's not a dream kill you can make it a reality!!
You wouldn't be worried about the have nots in the area?
I own a house on Stratford ….And its a good price the row house's are 2million...
yeah!
Those are IONIC Columns...
don't think I've ever seen a house with a ballroom in the ceiling👍
When you come in they take "caps and gowns" ... wow! 1:55
Took their "caps and gowns"?!?!?! Caps, maybe, but the gowns off of ladies? DAMN!!!!
The old water marks on the built-in was everything to me.....
I would love to live in this house, even though you could probably spend a further million restoring it properly. It's a stunning place.
Take a brief walk one block over to Church Avenue and you’ll quickly understand.
I notice you didnt show or even mention the bathrooms. I bet there are only four or five tiny bathrooms and are borderline primative. Wish we could see the whole place including the grounds
I used to babysit for the couple who owned this house in 1972-74, there were six children... I was paid .85 an hour, a virtual goldmine considering minimum wage was $1.85 an hour. In May of 1974 minimum wage was increased to $2.00. I asked for a “Raise” and was promptly promptly dismissed! (Over $0.15!)
not Corinthian, Ionian / Ionic columns.
Caps and gowns? Are we at a graduation? Or does this guy think that people wore baseball caps everywhere in 1905? The 'built-in' in the dining room is not a place for getting drinks. It's for the servants to put dishes of food during dinner before serving them, carving meat, etc., to put on platters and take around the table. The men would have been SERVED drinks by the servants and sat and drank their port and smoked their cigars in the dining room; the women would have left to a 'withdrawing' or 'drawing' room. They shouldn't get some know-nothing in sneakers to show such a house. It deserves better.
the neighborhood feels weird somehow
Only a British Palace, it can be compared to....!!!!!
Superbly majestic...!!!!!
Grand spaces, but not intimidating....!!!!
Would make an excellent law firm. Ballroom=conference room, Bedrooms=Offices, Dining room= reception room. A little TLC on the rest and its ready to go. Bet it got snatched up by now.
❤❤❤❤❤
when houses had character and builders built for the love and pride of it and not just to make money
Ryan missed telling his audience about the house (1:08) where the movie
'Sophie's Choice' (Alan J. Pakula, with Meryl Strip and Kevin Kline) was filmed decades ago. One of the old grand wooden houses still standing in that tiny neighborhood. Cute area, just surrounded by so many bad (really bad and dangerous) neighborhoods.
Thanks, I was looking at that and thinking, 'Hey, wasn't that house pink in Sophie's Choice?' And from that movie, I got the idea that Brooklyn was this beautiful, leafy place with large, gracious homes, and could never understand (as a Californian) why New Yorkers would speak of Brooklyn with a sort of shudder in their voices. If it looked like in Sophie's Choice, what was so wrong with it? :)
6 decades could make a big difference in the quality of living of a neighborhood Figaro Hey!. "Sophie's Choice" was set at the end of WWII (the late 40's), Brooklyn used to be then a nice Borough of NYC. There were a lot of great family neighborhoods, schools, churches, shopping strips, parks, etc. Nowadays the area is littered with 'gentrified' neighborhoods (pushed by the real estate developers)...surrounded by very dangerous and dilapidated ones. The tiny pocket of nice homes Ryan is trying to sell is surrounded by not very nice and very dangerous neighborhoods, like Flatbush, Ditmas Park, and the infamous Crown Heights (to name a few)... That's the real Brooklyn the dwellers of Prospect Park South will have to face any given day of the year.... not just the nice Tree Lined Albermarle Rd. Cheers
That's a shame. I guess in the 'old days' there were probably many working-class families who could afford a decent single-family home in Brooklyn? Manufacturing left New York City decades ago, as I understand, and highways cut through what had been working-class, 'ethnic' neighborhoods, right? I think that in the past, the people might not have been 'gentrified' but probably were proud of their homes and neighborhoods, cared about the safety of the streets, worked and shopped and worshiped locally, engaged in local recreational opportunities, and families could afford to live on one income and have several kids. At least that was the story in my parents' and oldest siblings' time. Something has gone very wrong with our society, and the degradation of formerly safe, family-friendly neighborhoods in the big cities is a sign of it. In my native area, San Francisco and Oakland used to be full of families and working-to-middle-class homeowners. Now my sister-in-law, who sells homes in San Francisco, and specializes in first-time buyers, says you have to expect to pay a million dollars just to get into the market. What working-class or single-income family with three or four can afford that? And forget about all the single mothers our sexual revolution has so generously graced us with: they are just going to be poor - period. So all those people have been shoved out, and gentrification is in. The rich get richer and 'honest working man' gets poorer. That's not how it should be in the US.
That's the New World Order's economic formula: 'The rich get richer and 'honest working man' gets poorer'. Strengthen the rich, and weaken the poor... even further.
just in time for halloween. wonder how many million it would take to renovate and restore?
I'm shocked with all the money in NY that this house fell into disrepair, instead of being bought up and restored!
Someone probably got it for cheap in 1980 when the area was worthless. Wasn't worth putting so much money in repairs back then. No way they spent much more than 125k for the house. =)
Beautiful house. My first impression is it needs a lot of work. And once you have it the maintenance would be prohibitive. Also amazed it's called Victorian since she was a British queen
i cant breathe right now...MAGNIFICENT! so happy i got to see it in it's original glory...b/c, i'm pretty sure whoever bought it, has painted all the woodwork or ripped it out b/c it was too heavy or dark...or they've ripped out all the plastered walls and put up something more luxurious like "DRYWALL." whoopieeeee...smh
Wouldn’t it be funny if someone purchased that house & few weeks into moving in you’re asleep & you hear 1905 music 🎶 & dancing 💃 🕺 in the Ball Room? LMFAO!!! That shit would be insanely funny looking in from the outside. Hell razor scary if you’re the buyer. LOL!
Rich History and aristocratic elegance rolled into one.
I live a few blocks away. They're asking too much for this thing.
Ron How much was the asking price????
Antoinette Bonner 3 million
So the builder died? He lived in that house.👻
That house is cheap...that would cost a fortune in Toronto, Canada. This is 10,000 plus sq. ft.
I Live THERE!
Wait a minute this is not a Victorian house. I think the style is more aptly called Georgian. That's sort of concerning when our realtor doesn't know even basic architecture terms.
The exterior looks pretty Victorian to me. I grew up in one and it has the same look and feel as this one.
Queen Victoria died in 1901 and this house was built in 1905. In the UK we would call it Edwardian but I don't know what the rules are in the US. Looks like a colonial revival to me.
Yeah, and he called the columns Corinthian and they are Ionic!
exactly what I was thinking. Do these "kids" who try to sell homes even get an intro into home styles. Also, this place needs a lot of work.
he's a marketeer not a realtor.
This is way farther away than 15 minutes from Manhattan. Both by Subway and car. Been there, done that.
This house is very similar to the one I grew up in, with the exception that the house I grew up in has 7 bedrooms and this one has 10. Otherwise the style is the virtually the same.
The columns are Ionic not Corinthian
Didn't think he was write. Thought either ionic or doric.
right that is.
That's right, Ionic (Roman rather than Greek) not Corinthian.
Yep! Ionic is scrolled top, Doric are plain, & Corinthian are leafy at the top.
You have never lived in a home like this....you have a Parlor...then a living room and a sitting room and a den....
X 2 do ur homework!!!...Those capitals r Ionic NOT Corinthian !!!!
Horroratio Neilsen - it’s also a Greek revival, not a Victorian so it’s not surprising they got that wrong
I love everything in the home except the asymmetrical windows above the front door
Wow that's a big house I am guessing its around or over 7000 sq ft
I believe he said 10,000? I think?
J.C. Nichols must have gotten inspiration from this neighborhood.
So what did it sell for?
👍👍👍
And the place can be heated for a song. o.0
I have news. Those are NOT CORINTHIAN COLUMNS!!!!!! They're 'Scamozzi Ionic'. Love the house, though.
This makes me wanna spend more money 😂
