4. MANHATTAN BEACH $1,530,000.00

The listing for this property comes just with a small exterior picture. At 1,140 square feet, it is somewhat small for a home in this neighborhood bringing in that price.

  1. The Prospect Heights sale is kinda dumbfounding. $2m to own just a portion of a brownstone! Sure, the square footage is significant and I guess some folks just love everything new — but still. The vertical extension was built shortly before landmarking and is so ugly it became a poster child of the landmarking campaign. The work was done quickly and sloppily (that line of concrete rendering around the entrance is where they glued on a polysterene foam reproduction). The guy who converted the whole building to condos sold this unit. He must have made out like a bandit. Word on the street was that his job at Massey Knakal enabled him to get DOB approvals where ordinary mortals wouldn’t have stood a chance.

  2. the PH condo: from the floor plan on curbed, i think it’s actually two additions. this apartment has the top floor of the original building, a nearly full-floor addition with small deck, and then a smaller addition (single room) plus larger roof deck on top.

  3. Can’t figure out the Prospect Hts.one – The high per floor prices make sense in a larger building, but this one is only 3 stories? Just doesn’t make sense. Is there an addition or something on this?
