House of the Day: 173 Crown Street
This old brick house at 173 Crown Street in Crown Heights hit the market a year ago with Corcoran at an asking price of $799,000; by October the price had been reduced to $649,000.

This old brick house at 173 Crown Street in Crown Heights hit the market a year ago with Corcoran at an asking price of $799,000; by October the price had been reduced to $649,000. Then early last month, Brown Harris Stevens took over the listing and raised the price back up to $789,000. Last week, the price was reduced again to $739,000. Sounds to us like an offer in the high $600’s would get this done. It’s a charming house. Any takers?

I’d hate to think what my carbon foorprint is. Let’s talk about alleyways.
I saw rotting corpses, and the nearest word association was turning 40. It may be that I turned 40 this year? Where did that come from?
am creating enough manure as fertilizer when am alive.
Just meant to pick on comment that even 1600 sq ft plus another floor for rec room laundry wasn’t enough for a couple who may have a kid in future or maybe some people visiting. A 1600 sq ft condo is spawling – a 1600 sq ft house is teeny apparently. (even if house is really much bigger).
And this is attached on both side so still pretty insulated.
Please stop interrupting my green mocking with this relevant alleyway stuff.
Practically every block in Chicago has alleyways like that. Everyone had a garage or a parking slab. i really miss that.
“Nomi, that’s called turning 40.”
Wait, so I’m two years past dead??? Or am I not getting you?
Oh I didn’t even bother to read DIBS’s comment! So sweet that you think of me! But no, I don’t consider english basement’s useable space at all, as I;ve written here before. A garden level, with a basement below it, is great, but a basement is for the boiler and storeage.
Nomi, that’s called turning 40.

If it didn’t sell for $649,000 in October, why on earth would it take high $600’s to sell it now? Sounds like 600K would do it. Or did Bstoner mean to write “749”??
As for greenness, no single-family home is nearly as green as an apartment in a multiple unit dwelling, regardless of the size. So let it go…
