Brooklyn Heights eyesore reborn as sprawling mansion and carriage house, asks $20.99M

The 1852 property, located at the corner of Monroe Place and Clark Street, was previously declared structurally unsound and partially demolished by the city in 2008. Developer Margaret Streicker purchased the site for $1.25 million in 2010 and led a brick-by-brick reconstruction that required navigating landmark regulations, shifting building codes, and legal claims from former tenants. The main five-story residence is listed at $14.99 million, while the neighboring three-story carriage house at 94 Clark St. is priced at $6 million.

The 7,200-square-foot main house features seven bedrooms, an elevator, and a marble chef’s kitchen. Before a sale is finalized, the property is serving as the venue for the Brooklyn Heights Association’s biennial Designer Showhouse fundraiser. Through November 1, nineteen design studios have staged the interior rooms to showcase the completed restoration of the red-brick facade and historic ornamentation.
