380 Degraw In Contract, Blue Rooms and All
We gave the owners of 380 Degraw Street in Cobble Hill a lot of grief for their choice in paint color, but it looks like it didn’t stand in the way of finding a buyer: According to the BHS website, the $2,645,000 listing is now in contract. Any little birdies out there know the final…

Any little birdies out there know the final price? (BTW, the photo above predates the new cornice that the owner added before putting the house on the market.)

The frustration I have with this blog is that we never really know what the sale price is. The asking can be anything. Did this house between Smith Street and Hoyt Street really sell for 2.9 million dollars? Why is it listed as being in Cobble Hill? And my final question: wouldn’t a millionaire family feel a little out of place here?
If this house is between Court and Smith St it isn’t really Cobble Hill is it? The price 2.9 million seems excessive if it is not to in a super prime block.
It does look like the bloick has a nice unifeid streetwall. Very elegant. No landmark protection so anything goes.
Right, 1:20pm, we’ve all been posting that this house is not in a good zone, or even “prime” location (but a nice block) but the one at 230 Degraw is. That’s why I was surprised it went for 2.5 million.
I don’t think PS29 zone goes that far. I think Smith St is the eastern most border..also, isn’t that like 2 blocks from the projects?
I said it on the original thread about this house, I LOVED the blue paint. It’s as people are saying here, it’s unique, it stands out, it’s memorable, had personality and would be fun to come home to. In a Winter climate in deep brownstones we have a sunlight challenge. I guess some people like that dark old Victorian look, but I find it depressing. Go Edwardian instead. It’s still “period” and totally appropriate for these houses. It just means you don’t strip the paint off the woodwork like the ubiquitous brownstone renovation always does.
well, at 230 Degraw St. (which is more ‘prime’ and probably is zoned for the ‘good’ elemenary school on Henry )is in contract with as list of $3.4.
Admittedly a bit larger and nicer. So there’s your price differential.
Bosch convection oven = bidding war. Miele dishwasher = 100G over asking.
This is a lovely row of brownstones, but NOT in a good public school zone and it’s near a housing project (but not right next to one) and not far from the Gowanas. So are we saying that similar sized 4 story brownstones in Carroll Gardens prime — with a good school zone — are now worth at least 2.5 million? How much of a premium do you get for a renovation in the style above, as opposed to something that wasn’t a “gut”, but needed some work? I’m kind of shocked at the price here, but maybe the renovation added alot of value.
it is in a bad school district though – correct? Would want to send kiddies to private $$$chools… ==> not super prime Cobble Hill. And isn’t it in CG anyway
