Brooklyn

This four-family brownstone at 53 South Oxford Street is looking pretty darn expensive to us at $1,975,000 given the kind of renovation it just received. While not completely devoid of detail, the kitchen photo, complete with baseboard heating, doesn’t give us a high degree of confidence. Nor does the fact that the property just traded at $1,345,000 back in July. A couple layers of poly and some Home Depot cabinets later and the owner’s trying to mark it up 50 percent. We don’t think it’s gonna fly. He also made the strange choice of going with a brokerage firm called Prospective Properties that can’t seem to get its website under control. We’re thinking $1.6 million, $1.7 if he’s really lucky.
