We’re having a hard time understanding why this stunning brownstone on Bainbridge in Stuyvesant Heights hasn’t moved. When we included it in Open House Picks back in early May (2005! Whoops), we thought it was a no brainer. (And maybe it was: That was over a year ago.) Granted it’s a three-family that is going to need some updating, but the historic details are top of the line and it’s one of the best brownstone blocks around. We also heard from one reader that he thought some work had been done in the mean time. The seller hasn’t budged on price (actually the price has ticked up a smidge to $900,000 from where it was last year). This is probably a good strategy. When the right buyer walks through the door, he/she will be more than willing to pay the price.
