Big Contracts Signed in Fort Greene & Clinton Hill
Contracts have recently been signed at two big-money properties in Clinton Hill and Fort Greene.

Contracts have recently been signed at two big-money properties in Clinton Hill and Fort Greene. The former Gallilee Baptist Church at 447 Clinton Avenue finally has a buyer; the most recent asking price was $4.3 million but not sure what it went to contract for. Presumably this will be converted into condos. Let’s hope the developers don’t f*&% it up! A few blocks to the west overlooking Fort Greene park, the immaculately appointed brownstone at 181 Washington Park is also now in contract. After originally hitting the market at $4 million, the five-story house was reduced first to $3.8 million before ending up at its final asking price of $3.6 million. Anyone know if this is where the deal got done?

Park Slope has already had it’s near 6 million sale- on Montgomery Place last year.
fort greene is the best nabe in nyc for my money (i dont live there, but used to, and am a life-long NYer.) it will soon become one of the most desirable, if it hasn’t already (http://www.timeout.com/newyork/Details.do?page=1&xyurl=xyl://TONYWebArticles1/576/features/the_rankings_1_10.xml).
People pay premiums to live in great nabes, and I ,for one, would choose to own on one of the prime fort greene blocks over any other area in NYC.
I am sure the Washington Park place went for a good number. I wish I could have afforded it. It’s gorgeous!
does anyone actually know how much it went into contract for? someone has to know someone at BHS that knows the price.
So FG park is millionaire’s row, so what. Look at the prices in Clinton Hill, for measley condos, for g-sakes! And you’re surprised that a house on FG Park is gonna be asking that much? Best part of brooklyn, and in my opinion, in the tristate area. It better be getting those prices, and some.
You do know we are talking about a house on Washington Park, overlooking Fort Greene Park, not on Washington Avenue? I saw it on the house tour – spectacular, if a bit too frumpy for my taste. Of course last house I bought was one tenth the cost
Does anyone know the manufacturer and color # of the yellow and green wall paint in the Washington Park house (parlor floor)? I am looking for something that shade but cannot seem to find it.
Many thanks!
“this house would cost double in Park Slope or Heights”
heights maybe, slope no.
even montgomery place listing is 3.6 million or whatever it is.
never seen a 6 million brownstone in ps. although i do think it’s on the horizon in the not too distant future.
While I am no big fan of the FG Washington Park house, or its proximity to Myrtle avenue, you must agree that a house is “worth” whatever someone is willing to pay. There are people outside of Goldman who have dough, and enjoy the neighborhood. The Goldman stories are getting a little old as an explanation of pricing in this city (although I do realize your note was tongue and cheek, dont worry). Get off your pricing soapboxes. Someone liked it, bought it, and I hope they enjoy it for years to come. You haters get so old so quickly.
