Real Estate
Live in This 2-Century-Old Brooklyn Heights Home for a Cool $7 Million
The federal-style 5-bedroom at 24 Middagh St. — reportedly the oldest home in Brooklyn Heights — hasn't been on the market since 1958.

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — If you're on the market for a single-family Brooklyn home with a (very) vintage aesthetic, and have $7 million to spare, look no further than the "queen of Brooklyn Heights" — a three-story, five-bedroom, federal-style urban mansion at 24 Middagh St.
Also included in the price: a two-bedroom carriage house, separated from the main home by a quaint little courtyard with foliage to spare.
Believed to be the oldest unaltered home in Brooklyn Heights, 24 Middagh was constructed in 1829, city records show. It has been in the possession of the Weisman family since 1958, according to the New York Times.

The sellers, brother and sister Jared and Celeste Weisman, spent their childhood in the home but have since moved to San Francisco, the Times reported. When the last of their parents, Eli and Tomi Weisman, passed away last year, the siblings put the house on the market.
Here's what you'll find inside the "oldest house in Brooklyn Heights" (according to the "AIA Guide to New York City"):
