House of the Day: 41 St. Marks Place Revisited

41-St-Marks-Brooklyn-030608.jpg
Are we surprised that 41 St. Marks Place just underwent its second price cut? No. Do we think there will be more to come? For sure. The listing has been a disaster from the beginning. After hitting the market in mid-January for an insane $3 million, the three-family house was cut almost immediately to $2,650,000. The 3,600-square-foot has now been cut again to $2,450,000. In addition to the mispricing, the presentation is abominable—Elliman should be embarrassed about this one. The crappy, overexposed photos only work against it. We took about five seconds to press the “enhance” button in iPhoto and improved them to what you see above. But who took the photos to begin with? That kid in the back hallway? This price has a ways to go, in our opinion.
