Here are two very similar properties within a few blocks of each other in Cobble Hill asking the same price of $2.8 million. Is this a sign of market efficiency or is one of these places a better value than the other? Both houses have 4-stories with unusually large floorplates of 25′ x 50′. The brick house on the left, offered by Corcoran, is configured as a 4-story, 2-family duplex-over-duplex while the brownstone on the right being shopped by Triumph (ever heard of them?) is 5 stories with 4 floor-through apartments. The photos of the Corcoran house reveal decent bones, though we weren’t thrilled to see the tile-and-dropped-ceiling look in the garden-level apartment. The Triumph listing doesn’t provide any interior photos (come on guys, get with the program!) but assured us in writing that there are plenty of original details. Looks like it will take someone who has been inside both houses to break the tie here. Anyone fit that description?
