216-17th-Street-0110.jpgA flyer just landed in the mailbox of a reader who lives in the vicinity of 216 17th Street announcing the following: “SOLD WITHIN 1% OF THE ASKING PRICE. I’m proud to announce that 216 17th Street has sold within 99% of it’s (sic) asking price. After proper pricing and aggressive marketing this house went into a bidding after just 2 open houses. If you would like the same results please don’t hesitate to call me.” All well and good, except for the fact the above-reference asking price was $1,099,000, significantly lower than the $1,499,000 it was listed at when we featured it as a House of the Day back in March.

  1. I’m glad the family finally sold the house. Considering the narrower width and location of this house and the money the new owners will need to spend on a renovation I think a near-one-million selling price was terrific. Congratulations!

    BTW, this is a nice quiet area. I would almost think about living there but you kind of need to be able to drive more or hike it to the subway…at least that’s my impression.

    I’ll stick with Fort Greene for the duration I guess.
