Here’s a newly listed home in Brooklyn Heights that’s lovely in its gray-shingled charm — but even more impressive is the story behind it.

The 4,000-square-foot residence located at 13 Pineapple St., which just hit the market for a cool $10.5 million, was once the apple of Truman Capote’s eye.

The “In Cold Blood” author, who lived in an apartment around the corner, loved the property so much that he immortalized it in the opening lines of his 1959 essay, “A House on the Heights.”

“I’m not much acquainted with the proper history of the Heights,” wrote Capote, who was 35 at the time. “However, I believe (but please don’t trust me) that the oldest house, the house still extant and functioning, belongs to our back-yard neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Broughton. A silvery gray, single-wood Colonial shielded by trees robustly leafed, it was built in 1790, the home of a sea captain.”

Though its exact age can’t be confirmed, the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the listing, dates its construction to at least 1830. (It’s built in the Federal style, actually, proving Capote wasn’t really up on his architectural lingo.)

Still, the author would take pleasure in the fact that this property still stands with its “silvery gray” exterior. But even better are features that aren’t commonly found within city limits. It’s a stand-alone structure with windows on four sides and an attached garage that runs along a lot more than 50 feet wide — akin to a nice home located in the suburbs.

The house was assembled in stages, the Journal notes. The living room was constructed in the mid-19th century, for instance, while the entire top level was tacked on later that century.

There are 13 rooms total — seven of them bedrooms, per its listing. There’s also an eat-in kitchen with a bay window, a woodburning fireplace in the living room and — for warmer times — a double-width garden space.
