475-8th-Street-0409.jpg
It’ll be interesting to see what 475 8th Street ends up selling for. The three-story brownstone is well-preserved and has plenty of nice original detail but it’s definitely doesn’t have the “wow” factor that some houses in this part of town have. Of course, at $1,700,000, it’s also priced lower than such houses. Given its location between 7th and 8th Avenues, we bet this will fetch within 10 percent of the asking price—which has to be considered a win in this market!

  1. Re: 356 1st Street – last I heard (from friend on the block following that house closely) the owner was considering an offer at 1.1 mil (from initial ask of 1.75). And that was in PS321. Given all the work needed on this house (probably at least 300-400K), and the less desirable location compared to 1st St, I think it’s worth 1.1 tops.

  2. 16ft wide and badly in need of extensive reno (2 bed, one bath, fridges in the dining rooms, and that looks like linoleum flooring, folks). $1.7M? Seriously?

    There was a fully renovated place on 10th St. between 6th and 7th Avenues, a great block, that went on the market for $1.6M a couple months ago. It was the same size. Come on people, you can do better.
