This Freestanding Home in Manhattan Beach Is Fit for a Hobbit

This freestanding home looks more like it belongs in a hobbit shire than New York City. But it's indeed up for sale in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn, at 167 Beaumont Street. It's a cozy stucco house, set back and surrounded by a large, lovely lawn. It's also located just a few blocks from the shores of Brighton Beach. So how much for this unique piece of property at the edge of Brooklyn? $1.2 million.
