A HOTD we listed in February. It was purchased for $2,900,000 back in 2007.

409 8th Street GMAP P*Shark
A HOTD pick in March. It was listed for $2,995,000 after a failed attempt last spring asking $3,195,000. It’s a modern renovation that we said “is likely to split the vote.” Deed recorded on 4/4/2013.

56 Cambridge Place GMAP P*Shark
This free-standing mansion was picked up and renovated years back, and then listed on the market for $2,250,000. Here’s what we thought when it was listed as a HOTD: “It’s a pretty unusual opportunity, albeit one that will require some money and work: The Civil War-era house has 4,600 square feet of space and sits on a lot that is 50 by 100 feet. There are no interior photos of the house, only mention of double-height ceilings in the living room overlooked by a mezzanine. It’ll be interesting to see how this one fares price-wise.” Deed recorded on 2/20/2013.

1. COBBLE HILL $2,795,000
28 Verandah Place GMAP P*Shark
A HOTD pick this May. We loved the location, on a quaint street overlooking Cobble Hill Park, but said “At just over 2,000 square feet, it’s relatively small for a house; at $2,795,000, it’s also pretty pricey on a per-square-foot basis.” Sold right at ask! Entered into contract on 8/14/12; closed on 11/09/12; deed recorded on 11/23/2012.
2. PROSPECT HEIGHTS $2,298,000
218 St. Marks Avenue GMAP P*Shark
Another HOTD pick from this summer. First priced at $2,999,000, then $2,795,000.

3. CLINTON HILL $2,026,000

45 3rd Place (aka the Carroll Gardens Atrocity) has gotten a lot of ink from us before. The first attempt to sell was more than five years ago, when it was marketed as two duplex units.

Price Chop for Brooklyn’s Most Expensive House
Originally listed for $14 million in May, this property at 2134 Ocean Parkway in Gravesend was the most expensive freestanding house in Brooklyn. Not anymore though. The price was cut to $10.8 million last week. The opulent interiors of this 9,200-square-foot, seven bedroom, 6.5 bath residence make us think of a cruise ship. What do you think it’s worth?

Southern Brooklyn’s ‘Venetian’ Condo is Back in Play!
One of the biggest real estate mysteries in Southern Brooklyn has just been cracked: Yesterday, the Real Deal reported that “The Venetian,” a luxury condo that one can see if one gazes east on the train while heading down to Coney, is being sold off by its original developers. Here’s the skinny, as told by TRD:
Sitt Asset assembled the various parcels that comprise the land in 2002 and 2003 for $9 million, and had plans to build the approximately 54,000-square-foot residential structure at a cost of about $500 per square foot, according to David Sitt, a vice president at Sitt Asset. But by the time the design was finalized and Sitt Asset took out a $54 million construction loan from Citibank in 2007 to launch the ground-up project, the cost estimate had more than doubled to $1,100 per square foot. The building was complete in 2010, when the Brooklyn sales market had collapsed to the point where it was virtually non-existent. With prospects grim for the project, Sitt moved to purchase back the loan from Citi at the discounted price of just $25 million. That effectively lowered the building costs close to the initial $500 per square foot projections. With costs now firmly under control and the borough’s sales market gaining traction, the developers were able to execute the plan as initially envisioned, Sitt said.
Unclear what they’re trying to get for the condo. Our photo above dates back to late 2009, and we thought the place was technically in Gravesend, not Midwood, though TRD refers to it as being located in the latter. In the go-go years, some units in this building were priced at more than $2,000 a foot, reportedly! Way back in the day, the marketers said the structure was inspired by 16th-century masterpieces like Veneto’s Villa Barbaro and Palazzo Porto.

1. GRAVESEND $2,728,000
400 Avenue U, #PH6E GMAP P*Shark
There wasn’t an exterior photo for this building on Property Shark and there also isn’t a listing on Streeteasy, but this sale is listed on ACRIS as a “single residential condo unit.” Entered into contract on 12/12/11; closed on 3/07/12; deed recorded on 3/23/2012.
2. PARK SLOPE $2,200,000
117 Lincoln Place GMAP P*Shark
As a HOTD, we thought this home was “in such nice shape that the asking price of $2,200,000 doesn’t seem aggressive given the prime location.” The only drawback noted was that the house is only 17 feet wide, but that obviously didn’t deter this buyer. Entered into contract on 11/14/11; closed on 2/09/12; deed recorded on 3/22/2012.
3. SHEEPSHEAD BAY $2,200,000

1. GRAVESEND $6,052,000
409 Avenue T GMAP P*Shark
A one-family, 2,780-sqaure-foot home. Oddly sold in May 2011 for $370,000, according to Streeteasy. Entered into contract on 1/18/12; closed on 2/10/12; deed recorded on 2/28/2012.
2. CARROLL GARDENS $2,325,000
122 Carroll Street GMAP P*Shark
A HOTD in October 2010. We wrote: “This house at 122 Carroll Street in Carroll Gardens just hit the market with the absurd asking price of $3,500,000. Clearly part of the reason for the big ask is that the owner recently spent some dough on a renovation either the pictures aren’t very good or the renovation itself doesn’t have much of a wow factor. Could this place even fetch $2 million?” The price dropped to $2,350,000 in October 2011. Entered into contract on 11/1/11; closed on 2/1/12; deed recorded on 2/29/2012.
3. COBBLE HILL $1,600,000

2109 Ocean Parkway GMAP P*Shark

5. WINDSOR TERRACE $1,405,000
238 Windsor Place GMAP P*Shark
A HOTD way back in November 2009. We opined, “This two-family house at 238 Windsor Place in Windsor Terrace may have a slightly odd mix of old-school and 80s-contemporary aesthetics going on, but at its core it looks like a lovely old house and given that it’s got over 3,000 square feet of living space, the price tag of $1,125,000 looks reasonable to us as well.” Entered into contract on 12/2/11; closed on 2/9/12; deed recorded on 2/27/2012.
