Probably the nicest house for sale in Brooklyn right now, 315 Garfield Place hit the market last September asking $8,500,000 and was reduced to the current price of $7,750,000 back in June. While that’s a tough number in this market (or any, really), consider that the 26-foot-wide brownstone has almost 7,000 square feet of space and has been immaculately renovated. Still, at this rarified price point, it’s more about whether some banker or movie star is going to fall in love and have to have it than rationally comparing it to price per square foot comps around in the area. And given that the current owners paid less than $4 million for the house (pre-renovation, presumably) back in 2006, they can probably afford to be patient.
