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.
House of the Day: 1094 Park Place [Brownstoner] GMAP P*Shark
Mr B., the old saying is “you can’t argue with a fool”. Why even bother.
I slept with a co-worker while still married and I posted all about it on Brownstoner yet I believe that no one knows my business.
Yo Snarkslope. This house is worth every penny because of its antiquity and high level of craftsmanship. I have a home in the neighborhood and I love it so I have in fact put my money where my mouth is. I posted because I love this house and I think it’s a shame that it sat on the market for so long. The fact of the matter is banks are not lending so chalk up 1094 Park Place as a casualty of bad timing.
On a separate note… Crown Heights is a great neighborhood despite the negative posts by the usual morons on this blog.
Dave, it was all that, trust me dude. But unlike you, I prefer to keep my personal life…..personal.
> This house was worth every penny of the original asking price.
To whom? Non-bidding posters on the intarwebs?
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?
Didn’t get anything this weekend, ENY??? 🙂
“If the buyer did his due diligence, he would have known…”
“Therefore he must have known…”
“One never knows.”
Make up your mind.
ENY (and others):
But if the buyer did his due diligence he’d know the property is part of the proposed CHN landmark district’s extension and be forewarned about possible changes in the property’s status.
No doubt about it, Crown Heights deserves a bigger district, and this house would be a highlight.
Pity the City can’t put out stop-work orders until proposed designations are completed. Or can they?
