Comment of the Day
440 St Marks Ave is 19×50, 2 stories + cellar, so that’s a 1900 sq ft house needing the works for $1.75m in Western Crown Heights. Haven’t been paying attention so much to this area recently but that seems high, no? Are renovated houses really going for more than $1000/sq ft in Crown Heights?
