Residential Sales [NY Times]
you know what all the park slope trash talk is doing????
it’s making houses like the one above sell for more than you’d expect.
keep it up!!! park slope has become probably the most talked about neighborhood in all of new york over the past year. every european i know moving to new york wants to live in park slope.
and you read and post on BROWNSTONER, why 3:01?????
moron.
Park Slope backlash is over. Backlash against the backlash has begun! Sky’s the limit now, baby!
Corcoran has a house of similar size but with finished cellar in Carroll Gardens listed at $2.4 and went into contract quickly so doubt much less than asking.
And I would think 2nd St Smith/Hoyt comparable enought to this place.
So I don’t find surprising the price of 14th Street.
brownstones are nice, but not that nice.
They are actually a pain in the ass to live in and to maintain. I don’t get the stratospheric prices. I just don’t get it.
It almost seems like a craze.
I don’t buy the “craftmanship” arguement as many young buyers trach the interiors and turn them into open plan layouts. Don’t know.
The house, while small on a square footage basis, has been impeccably maintained, has very little lean or wear and tear, requires no landscaping or refitting of the facade or roof.
While the layout isn’t that suitable for today’s needs, it reflects the needs from the prior tenant who lived in the building for nearly 50 years.
Considering it’s park block location, and PS 107 zoning, at $735psf, it might be a bit high, but seems in line with comps along the street and in the neighborhood in general. One could question its proximity to the shelter on 8th Ave. and the movie theater on the rotunda, but it reflects a premium on a craftsman product (the brownstone itself) keep in pristine (or near pristine) condition in a very desirable locale.
Considering the absolute dearth of of property available in the market, I’d add that it could probably sell for 1.9 or more today.
“realtors on this site should understand that people often overpay for things”
i think that’s exactly what realtors count on!
Eryximachus is correct. Park slope was basically built by 1890. These houses are circa 1885. After the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1894, houses were lighter in palette. Brownstone was never used again. Limestone was used instead. The 1901 date posted in the DOB is not to be taken literally.
The house in PS is two-story-plus- basement, the basement story in these houses usually have a failry low floor-to-ceiling height, hence the distinction. they originally contained the kitchen and dining room although occassionally they also included a bedroom and bath instead of dining room. Since it is only 18 feet wide, the usual number of bedriooms in such a house would be three, four at most if one bedroom was located in the basement.
Seven bedrooms would indicate that the rooms are mere kennels rather than bedrooms for humans. In terms of whether the price is right even though it already sold, realtors on this site should understand that people often overpay for things.
