After sitting on the market for six weeks, all four units at the brownstone condo conversion at 543 Dean Street in Prospect Heights were on the receiving end of a 5% price cut last Friday. The two biggest units, the lower duplex and the penthouse, are now listed at $1,095,000 and $1,095,000, respectively. The two floor-through units in the middle are $895,000 and $745,000. The design–clean, white-box modern–and build-out look to be fairly good quality, which begs the question of why these aren’t selling. After all, high $700s per foot isn’t unheard of in this neck of the woods. Could it be those three dreaded words, “A——- Y—- E—–?”

  1. Isn’t this across the street from what will be the Atlantic Yards? You buy it and they will disassembling the building across the st for four years!

    Unibelievable I would nt pay this for the whole building! *well maybe

    I moved from Bergen and 6th because that was too close~

  2. I own a duplex condo with the lower level cut out. It’s great. We have a walk out patio off of our bedroom. It is not damp, smelly or any of the other things that were speculated above by 9:34pm. Also, because our family sleeps on the lower level, it’s extremely quiet, cooler in the summer, and overall, terrific for sleeping. Of course, we can’t hear our neighbors either.

    think if you are really buying, you go and look at everything you can, and then decide.

    broad generalizations aren’t really helpful.

  3. I agree with most of the posts- overpriced. Bedrooms are small but I’ve seen lots of small in PS (I know this is PH).

    My question is how overpriced do people generally think its is? 10%? 15%? I think a lowball offer of 12% below ask would be rejected by this seller right away (not knowing who the seller is- but the original ask was crazy).

    Just wanted to see what others thought the right discount % should be. Thanks.

  4. I’ve actually seen them inside. The design and finishes are much nicer than most condos, including most of the new high rises. Clean, minimal design, with Viking, Bosch, etc. Penthouse has windows on 4 sides, to die for. Prices now seem OK. With adj. interest only, cheaper then renting, but I prefer views from ORO and BB Park which are a lot more expensive however.
