HOTD: Park Block for $1.6 Mil? What’s the Catch?
It’s always hard critiquing a listing with very few pictures and no address–we wonder when brokers will realize how important a marketing tool their web presence is. Anyway, enough ranting. This listing from Brenton Realty seems to fall into the “too good to be true” category. A 3,200-square-foot house (although 800 of those feet are basically underground) between Prospect Park West and 8th Avenue for $1.595 million seems a little fishy. It’s a three-family, which we guess makes it less desirable in that part of town. And, we can only assume it’s near the Southern end of the park–near the movie theater maybe? The one interior shot shows the house to be in okay condition, but it probably could use a real upgrade. We’ll stop our speculation here and just hope some of you have checked it out already and can give us the straight dope.
