Condos of the Day: 163 Washington Park
There are no photos of the interior available yet but we suspect there will be strong demand for the four condo units that are being carved out of the brownstone at 163 Washington Park in Fort Greene. The 2,400-square-foot ground-floor and basement duplex is listed for $1,395,000 while the second floor unit is asking $895,000…
There are no photos of the interior available yet but we suspect there will be strong demand for the four condo units that are being carved out of the brownstone at 163 Washington Park in Fort Greene. The 2,400-square-foot ground-floor and basement duplex is listed for $1,395,000 while the second floor unit is asking $895,000 for 1,278 square feet. Probably the best comparable out there for this is 302 Washington Avenue, the brownstone conversion at the corner of Dekalb. Two of the units there have sold but there’s still an 1,825-square-foot upper duplex available for $1,325,000. It’ll be interesting to see how the interior finishes of the two compare.

These are all great insights about 163 Washington Park. WHAT?
This is what we’ve gotten to hear:
1. An completely irrelevant reference to a development project.
2. Don’t want to walk up stairs to the top floor? Does anyone see the three sets of windows under the top floor? Hey! I’ll bet that means there are three whole other floors! Maybe even a basement! Gosh, if I didn’t want to walk to the top, I’d look at the first, second, or third floor. Wow! Magic!
3. Black people, white people. Thank god there aren’t Hispanics or Asians or Native Americans or Pacific Islanders in Brooklyn. I’m assuming that this is relevant to 163 Washington Park because all black people moved out and all white people are moving in. (By the way, having been there before the renovation, I know that no one who lived there before the renovation was black.
4. Is the mortgage industry located at 163 Washington Park?
Why do these discussions have two relevant postings before the same sophomoric development rhetoric regurgitates out of people who can’t say, “Gosh, I know nothing about 163 Washington Park, so maybe I should shut up those voices in my head and keep moving on to another post without writing something completely unrelated!”
That being said…
(Oh, by the way, 163 Washington Park has a great layout. The rooms are huge, the living rooms/kitchens have an amazing layout, and the place is easy to move in and out of. The views of the park are wonderful. I don’t think the top floor is available anyway, so might want to look into that before that discussion keeps trucking. Ultimately, I was shocked that the prices were so low.)
Dana Carvy – you got a laugh, but I’ve got to go back to the “will not pay mansion tax for walk ups” comment…is that to say when you hit a few years of great bonuses and move into the multi-million dollar price point, you’ll shake a finger all of these beautiful townhouses? FYI – for the most part, they’re walkups! (she choppin – broccol-aaaayyyy)
The mortgage industry has been documented as biased against African-Americans. This is not up for debate. For years black brooklyn was redlined and getting home improvement loans was virtually impossible. Yet, many middle and working class black people did their best in CH & FG. It wasn’t fancy, but it was still a solid, beautiful neighborhood.
Are people aware that the poster who made the “oh no more white people” comment might in fact be white? don’t feed the trolls.

Folks, let’s be honest, any improvement in the overall aestethics, not to mention property value in a neighborhood is great. As a black person I welcome anyone to my neighborhood who wants to help further the value of it. Instead of posting “more white people” comments, we need to ask why more affluent black people are not coming to enhance the predominantly black areas. The 1.3 million condo is on a block where the entire house cost maybe 300K 20 years ago. Preservation has to start within the community. It’s silly to be upset when our people had the chance to improve the community for several decades.
ignore the racist troll(s?). Didn’t we have enough of that last week?
What’s wrong with white people?
They always think they are trying to “save” something.
Our neighborhoods don’t need to be saved.
What is unsafe to them and grimy, sketchy, or any other code word for black, is and has been just fine for us folk out here in the ‘hood for years.
I don’t know if it’s appropriate that 9:04 is excited that there are sexually promiscuous caucasians coming to the neighborhood.
That’s pervy.
9:04 what kind of comment is that? What’s wrong with white people? Someone needs to save these areas, I mean look how nice and safe the predominately black areas are. Should ship all your asses out of new York to Alabama so we can get rid of these damn projects, street shootings, and fried chicken places.
Yeah, white people are bad for the neighborhood, LOL
