The old Truman Capote Brooklyn townhouse for sale

The Brooklyn, New York, townhouse (shown above) where Truman Capote wrote "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "In Cold Blood" is on sale for $18 million.

Sotheby's International Realty agent Karen Heyman said that the building, at 70 Willow St. in Brooklyn Heights, is expected to break sales records as one of the most expensive townhouses in the borough.

Truman Capote was openly gay and well known for his distinctive, high-pitched voice and odd vocal mannerisms as shown in the video below filmed during his appearance on an old Dean Martin Roast.
