Valentine’s Day has left that carriage house along 43 Love Lane, Brooklyn Heights heartbroken. And why not when the property has been lingering in the homes for sale list for years now with a long line of brokers on its list. The house was originally priced at $3.5 million but the price has been slashed down to a whopping $2.5 million and just lately, to $2.175 million. Still, no takers. The house was even marketed by its brokers as a great Valentine Day gift, a lot better than chocolates!

In a desperate bid, the brokers have put up the 2,300-square-foot house in Love Lane for rent for — believe it or not, $9,500. That might be a bit pricey these days considering the economic downturn and all.

If not for monetary reasons the house would have been sold easily considering its strategic location. The carriage style three-story home which was built in 1999 is in the middle of Brooklyn Heights. There may not be lots of open space but you get three bedrooms and three and a half baths plus a roof terrace where you can sip piña colada while waiting for the sun to set. Such a romantic setting amid the hustle and bustle of Brooklyn, you might say. There is also a wood burning fireplace plus a Bang & Olufsen music system in every room.
