150-bond-11-09.jpgThe sale of 150 Bond Street, which was a House of the Day a number of times, was recorded in public records yesterday. The price: $1,400,000. The property, which was pitched as a gutted blank slate that would allow its new owner to “build your dream house in Boerum Hill,” first hit the market asking $2,495,000 in March ’08. The price was cut several times until it was asking $1,595,000 this summer. The seller purchased it for $1,725,000 in September ’07. This one seems like it was a victim of unrealistic pricing from the get-go and a down market in which fixer-uppers are a tough sell.

  1. Slope, I’ll probably have some more of my “fun” co-op story for you next time as well LOL. Apparently we just heard that the estate wants to settle and get rid of the apt. as soon as possible. I don’t believe it until I see that in writing.

  2. Thanks Dave for the kind words. You won’t convince him otherwise. I just emailed Mr. B and told him to pull my comments, if he wishes, because we totally destroyed this poor thread and could have just kept this non sense in the OT :o).

  3. I know you like those beautiful Victorians and ranches they have all over Bucks Country but I have no patience to restore one of those and this would be a rental property and not for me to live in. Someday I might pick up something in Philly as I love Bucks County area.

    Dave, we’ll talk next time about West Philly. I’m talking about much much smaller scale than you’re thinking.
