"Gingerbread House" for Sale

Brooklyn real estate blog Brownstoner reports that Bay Ridge's Howard E. and Jesse Jones House, at 8220 Narrows Avenue, is for sale.

The asking price is $12 million.

Mr. Jones, a shipping magnate, commissioned architect James Sarsfield Kennedy to design the Arts and Crafts house, which features uncut boulder construction and a simulated thatched roof made of multi-colored asphalt shingles, in 1916.

The house, popularly known as the "Gingerbread House" for its hobbity look, is a local landmark.

The article from Brownstoner.

More from the New York Post.

BK Southie has calculated the monthly mortgage at that current asking price.
