Two sold in Crown Heights and one in Greenwood Heights — but lo, not so for Park Slope.

While none of the sold properties asked for, or broke, $2,000,000, three out of four still isn’t shabby.

The four-bedroom, three-bath Park Slope townhouse with sprawling terrace was taken off the market earlier this month. It has a new broker (Corcoran) and has been relisted at a higher price.

The house’s living room is pictured above. Previously $2,700,000, it is now asking $2,795,000.

In Crown Heights, a 3,696-square-foot Renaissance revival row house on Bergen Street sold for $1,800,000. That’s $95,000 under its $1,895,000 ask.

A second Crown Heights row house, this one bow-fronted, with three stories of bay windows, got $90,000 over ask. It closed for $1,860,000.

Corcoran marketed our final Open House Pick, in Greenwood Heights, as a “Townhouse for the Price of a Condo.” It sold for $1,700,000, just $11,000 over the ask of $1,689,000.

  1. That 8th St house has a full-depth basement floor that is used as a commercial space, although it is not zoned as such. We went to the open house. The deck off the middle floor is also full-length: there is no backyard, and there would be no way to legally rebuild the deck or extension if anything happens. The broker was spouting something about having a friend who is an appraiser so they could “help” with a mortgage on this “unique property.” This would have to be an all-cash, but I don’t know who would want it… the living space is very small for the price (“4 bedroom” with one full bath?) and the downstairs is basically unusable but would be impossible to remove.
