The Brooklyn Heights House, where Truman Capote lived, was sold for only $12 million.
It is the most great discount the buyer got from the initial $18 million listing pricing.
However, the final price hit previous record for a Brooklyn single-family house $11 million.
In this mansion, Capote wrote Breakfast at Tiffany's and In Cold Blood. It has 11 bedrooms, 11 fireplaces, parking lots for 4 cars, the artist studio and a library.
The mansion can evoke people's memories in the neighborhood."My son used to play with a boy who lived in the house, and it really is just an amazing building," said Dawne Hentrich, 58, a teacher at the Grace Church School nearby. "The price doesn't surprise me, this neighborhood used to be more middle class, but it's been gentrified times 10, which isn't a bad thing," according to the New York Daily reported.
