It doesn’t look like 98 Brooklyn Avenue is headed towards a happy ending for the person who bought it back in 2005 for $660,000. In early 2006, the new owner listed the three-story (technically it’s a one-family but it’s divided into three units) brownstone for $799,00. Over the next couple of years, as it failed to sell, the price fell to $699,000 until it was pulled off the market last October. Now it’s re-emerged as a short sale with an asking price of $640,000. There’s some nice original detail but the house is definitely worse off for having been carved up into three separate apartments.
