I often walk past the Beverley Road house and it is a lovely place. It looks even better without the Christmas decorations. Nice area, too.

Sure seems that Brown Harris Stevens is having a good year!

All below asking, as expected.

I'd say the beverley rd went for asking don't you think?

Might all be under asking but not bad, shows the market is still healthy..

2:02pm,

Almost.

the beverley rd did go for asking...i am sure the $500 difference is b/c the sellers were not giving a property disclosure statement, so in lieu of the credit at closing they probably just credited the purchase price...so it was asking price.

Re: Beverley Road,

Actually, with a 1) free-standing 2) frame house 3) this old, I would have guessed that a resulting sale price a sliver ($500) below asking price might indicate the buyers had enough advantage to negotiate other hidden factors elsewhere in the deal, such as fixes for any lingering (or sagging or otherwise negative) structural, internals or surfaces issues to bring this old house up to code etc. prior to sale.

Or, perhaps a closing costs throw-in (on the part of the sellers).

Just seems odd that someone would go to bat and haggle to end up at a mere $500 off, unless there were other significant issues attached behind the scenes.

Then again, admittedly, that was just my own uninformed initial read on it, sans infos, and I can certainly be a complete nincompoop at times.

Maybe it was just for $500 and that is that.

What is BHS????

When you are seriously looking to buy a house you should keep your options open and never limit yourself...

1410 (next door) is an FSBO listed at $1.525! And 1402 seems much, much nicer. What are they thinking? What do you all think? Here's the NYtimes.com ID: NY4DC4F9

BHS stands for Brown Harris Stevens.. the best firm for selling top end real estate... I know, I sold through them

I think that house is nice on the interior, but the exterior is sort of charmless, compared with the house pictured above. Also, it appears to be sided...not original shingle. Although the preserved detail is stunning, no pix of kitchen or baths... why not?
