Checking Back In With the Moonstruck House

Categories: Properties

houseJust a little eye candy to get you all jealous and bothered before the weekend starts. We already mentioned this place when it first hit the market because it was featured in a certain movie. Since then, however, Corcoran has added more photos to the listing just in case you weren't drooling enough to start with. And to pour salt in your wounds, it looks like the house even has private parking. Frankly, we're surprised this is still on the market. Aren't there, like, a lot of rich people out there who can afford something like this?

Nice house. We should put all of our money together and buy the place, and then each stay there one night a year! :)

Im sorry- but that trim is hideous. Dont like the house.

Once you hit this price level, you're competing with townhouses in Manhattan. Maybe that's the issue.

Yeah, competing with 16' wide 3 floor gloom traps surrounded by the honking hell of bridge and tunnel traffic. Manhattan sure is tempting.

Not really, 12:45pm. Go to the NYT RE section and you'll find some pretty attractive 4 & 5 storey townhouses in great locations in Chelsea, on the UWS, and in the West Village etc, all under $5 million. Look, I live in Brooklyn and love it here. But realistically, the top end of the Brooklyn mkt is competing with Manhattan.

Great location. Nice width but no depth (only 40 ft deep). But at 4,000 sq. ft. who can complain? Indeed at that price point you're definitely competing with Manhattan townhouses but it's at a fraction of the real estate tax cost. Plus the garage alone is worth some nice change. Opps... just looked at the pics again. Not a garage but actually a driveway/backyard kind of situation.

Yes, it's a backyard/driveway, but the car is still OFF the street and that's worth a bundle right there. There are a number of corner properties in CG that I know of that have the same set-up, and it beats alternate side parking four days a week.

What trim is hideous? Jeesh, what does it take to please some of you people?!

Re: comparing to Manhattan townhouses-
This one in W.Village on great block - , nice house, slightly higher price, 1300sq ft smaller, and taxes equivalent.
http://www.corcoran.com/property/listing.aspx?Region=NYC&listingid=833275.

So for about same money in Heights getting 40% more living space and offstreet parking.

The W. Village townhouse is not only smaller, but gutted with a mondern (circa 1980s looking) renovation.

The West Village is the most expensive area in NY. Maybe the world.

The house is gorgeous looking. Too bad it's so trader trash over there (same as west village, incidentally-- the comparable prices make sense).

Hey! "Trader trash". I resemble that remark!

House needs a ton of work... Owners don't know where they are moving (always a bad sign)... Figure on a price around $4.2.... or approx. $1,000 a square foot might take it..

This is a very pretty house on Cranberry Street - which has to be one of the quaintest streets in the city - a great family neighborhood five minutes from Wall Street...ten minutes walk from the new BB park (if they ever get around to building it), three stops from Soho, seven from midtown, five minutes from the bridge.

The building probably needs updating - which isn't cheap - but it looks from the Corcoran photos to be not abused (meaning, they didn't gut it in the 70s and fill it with shag carpet...)

$4.2 in Chelsea won't get you as much...
