416 Stuyvesant Avenue Snapped Up In a Jiffy

That was fast! The Stuyvesant Heights House of the Day we profiled three weeks ago is already in contract at, we hear, the asking price of $1.2 million. This news should come as no surprise to anyone who read the comments on the original post–there was almost unanimous agreement that, given the size, period details and landmark district location, this would get snapped up without any markdowns. Taking a step back, it’s an interesting anecdotal sign that a high-quality, well-priced house can still move in this market. It also brings to mind a comment we heard from a Brooklyn broker on Saturday night that after a very slow start to the year, she had felt things picking up a lot in the past couple of weeks. Do any other brokers concur?

I saw the one at 371 Hancock as well — it was a stunning place — the owner has done a beutiful job renovated the place while preserving all of the details — the woodwork and fireplaces were magnificent as well as the decorative plaster work on the ceilings. I looked into the block which has a block association. It’s worth the monies.

Not surprise, beatiful house on nice street. I saw another beautiful one on Hancock (371 I think) this weekend, Corcoran was showing the house. House was a beauty, woodwork to die for and a charming fireplace with an old grate coal burner. Asking price was 1.1 million. A little too rich for me but it was a beautiful house.
I take it back. It WAS this house. Now that I read the NY Times write up:
CONS: The parlor-floor kitchen, originally the butler’s pantry, could use an update, and the English basement, once a doctor’s office, would need renovation to make it fully usable as a floor of living space.
That would have been a sweet investment.
any humble pie from the naysayers who insisted that no one would pay this price for a place in “the ghetto”?
Beautiful house on a great block and it was priced fairly. Not surpised it moved so quickly either.
I’m not surprized on this one either, and was one of the people who thought it would go quickly.
The buyer got a choice piece of property on a very stable block of a landmarked nabe, and a beautiful house to boot. Bed Stuy naysayers will disagree, but I think the owners made a wise investment, both for the present and definitely for the future.
As an agent, I think the townhouse market is still quite strong. A lot of sellers, though, are unrealistic about the prices they can get…
I’m with you, Brownstoner. No surpise with this one.
