'The funkiest listing in recent memory'

[NEW YORK] The first thing that prospective buyers should know about the two-storey rowhouse for sale in Borough Park, Brooklyn, is that its glassy-eyed menagerie of taxidermied tenants, from the family of lions to the fluffy-feathered emu, will be removed before the closing.

The next thing is not to expect perfection. Perfection, according to Jewish law, is something reserved for the world beyond, its seller stressed.

So if the walls are unfinished and bent nails curve from the ceiling rafters, it should not be a big deal.
