It was a long haul, but the beautiful free-standing house at 1094 Park Place in Crown Heights finally sold earlier this month. After coming to market with Corcoran with a price tag of $1,395,000 in October 2007, the price dropped to $1,199,000 in july 2008; Elliman picked up the listing in September and jacked the ask back up to $1,345,000. In May, after a torrid negotiation process (detailed last week in this Forum post), the house went into contract in mid-May in an all cash deal for $960,000. The buyers who got edged out at the last minute have put up a gazillion interior photos on Flickr that should not be missed by anyone with a thing for old houses.

No, this house, like every other commodity, is worth what somebody else is willing to pay for it. In this case, it was about 40% less than the original asking price.
I am the only one but not my cup of tea style of house.
So meh. Replaced or not, it does not bother me.
What: http://bit.ly/12vnbJ
I have nothing to say so I will cut and paste my own comments!
I am angry because the buyer didn’t use me as his agent.
How long did it take you to type and copy/paste that, What? I’m impressed.
oops- spectacular, not spectaclar.
QED
The house is as spectaclar on the iside as it is on the outside. I understand the point that the buyer has a right to his own property and to do what he wants with it BUT when you are talking about a beautiful, pretty much turnkey property of historic and architectural importance to the neighborhood, tough for the buyer in my book.
But no one looking to buy in Crown Heights could be unaware of the landmarking movement. No one. The buyer can hardly claim to be surprised that a house of this stature would be on LPC’s radar. Nor should he be surprised at the amount of protest at the idea it could be torn down.
“What,
You keep resorting to this distorted revisionist narrative about Brownstoner readers suddenly being pro-preservation. What planet have you been living on? That’s been probably the most consistent theme since this site launched more than 4 1/2 years ago?”
