The Japanese House

😂"Gloria was a Riot!" — Monica

🐉Look for the hand-crafted dragon sculptures on the fireplace

Step inside a 1903 Japanese-style house tucked among Victorian Brooklyn brownstones, where homeowner Gloria leads intimate seven-person tours through dragon-sculpted fireplaces and Asian-inspired parlors before hosting you for lunch in her dining room. Built as a real estate marketing stunt, this hidden residence survived 1970s demolition threats to become one of Brooklyn's most beguiling living rooms.
