Happy Valentine’s Day to all of our friends and readers.

Brownstoner announced last week’s biggest sales and number one on the list: 290 Amherst Street in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn.
Property Shark information listed a few alternate addresses at Amherst Street involved in this sale: 280-282, 284, and 284-296. The garage was shown as a separate address.
This 5,058 sf house, situated on the water, has a large yard (the entire lot is 11,440 sf). It is my understanding that many Manhattan Beach houses were originally small summer cottages, so it might be that this house was built on a more than one lot or that the esplanade has its own address designation.
