House of the Day: 143 Amity Street

We won't dispute the listing's claim that 143 Amity Street is a "timeless brownstone beauty," because that's certainly what the Cobble Hill house is, no doubt about it. But the asking price of $3,900,000 comes in at over $1,000 per foot which seems quite pricey for a 17-footer whose kitchen is "ready for a new touch," no? We're not even sure this house would fetch the ask if it were located on the Brooklyn Heights side of the tracks either. Thoughts?
