We’ve discussed before how difficult we think it is to predict how some of the higher-priced houses in the higher-priced nabes will sell. This lovely “British Regency with Federal Style” mansion on First Street between 8th Avenue and Prospect Park West probably falls in that category. The house was built in 1915 for the builder of this row of similar houses. What’s not to like? (Well, we could point to a couple things like the kitchen cabinets and a little overkill on the dining room walls, but this is no Columbia Heights overkill.) Point being this place is large, pristine and in the right place. If one had to quibble, the yard is a bit on the small side. Anyway, it’s a looker–the question is will there be takers at $3.295 million. It’s only been on the market for a little over a week, so it’s too soon to tell.
