Co-op of the Day: 21 South Portland (Revisited)
When the owners of this parlor floor co-op on much-lauded South Portland Avenue in Fort Greene had it listed last Fall for $829,000, a bidding war broke out but the owners ultimately had to not sell it when they themselves were outbid on the house they were trying to buy nearby. Now it’s nine months…
When the owners of this parlor floor co-op on much-lauded South Portland Avenue in Fort Greene had it listed last Fall for $829,000, a bidding war broke out but the owners ultimately had to not sell it when they themselves were outbid on the house they were trying to buy nearby. Now it’s nine months later, and, with the help of new-kid-on-the-block House By We (brainchild of Bed-Stuy-living, Brownstoner-reading, Wooster-Group-acting Ari Fliakos and his wife), the 1,175-square-foot two-bedroom is back on the market for $948,000. Will they get it? Probably, given the location, the unusually large size and the original details. (We know that kitchen ain’t for everyone but we think there’s something endearing about it.) Have there been any other parlor floor sales in the immediate area recently?

“working against the agency”, 7:59? huh? maybe it’s a conspiracy…
2:29, hi there! I am the poster at 9:42 (not at 8:27) and not that it’s ANY of your business, but just to humour your paranoid little butt, I don’t have any relationship with the seller, I was just throwing in my 2 cents, like everyone else. Just because you don’t LIKE my two cents, doesn’t mean you have to suggest some friggin conspiracy. Freak.
And I live in Ft Greene too, woo hoo, big deal. I also have a country house on a volcanic island. Sue me.
Seems fishy to me that the person whose name is in the NY Times ad doesn’t disclose that he is working for a licensed real estate broker or is the owner/broker. Is he working against the agency, or is the owner having to do the advertising instead of the agency, or is the agency choosing to avoid NY State laws here and disclose that they are a licensed brokerage.
Anonymous poster at 8:27 and 9;42 please truthfully disclose your relationship to the seller? I posted at 7:35 pm and I am a Fort Greene resident.
so overpriced, and for what? i too, am so very happy to be living in beautiful bed stuy/clinton hill in a 4 story house that’s just minutes from s. portland…we’ve got 4 whole floors of that look!
B’Stoner, you are wrong on all three counts.
I’ve always been curious about this, and perhaps you can enlighten me: why do some people focus attention on things they (supposedly) hate? What do you get out of it?
House by We?
too funny.
This house is a gentle reminder of two facts: (i) B’Stoner would advocate his own mother’s a-hole if it would net him a buck; (ii) B’Stoner has absolutely no taste.
Yes, this comment will almost certaintly be deleted. but it’s goddarn true, and you know it.
They’ll get it.
