Condos of the Day: 543 Dean Street
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…
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—–?”

Paying almost a million for one floor of a brownstone is absolutely crazy, even in the best parts of Brooklyn, which Prospect Heights is not. Brownstones are built to be private houses, not apartments. Greed strikes again.
They ruined a perfectly nice brownstone,
This place is way way overpriced and as someone else mentioned you can get a much cleaner, nicer and larger apartment in Forte / Oro for cheaper….I would price all these @ at least 15% cheaper and it would still not be for me..you know AYE and fake “penthouse” view
The Buildings department should not let people excavate undergound grottos with sunken rear wells and call them “duplexes”.
Living underground is really not nice.
It is damp and smelly. After a heavy rain there is a good chance that it will be flooded and very smelly. The basement is bad enough but the cellar? will somebody actually want to live there? It seems inconceivable to me.
This is an affluent country. Life can be good in America. Why live like a nineteenth century indentured servant?
Honestly, I don’t see how these units could even appraise out for the mortgage at these prices. I mean, this house is not just close to Atlantic Yards–it is the bloody, white-hot epicenter of Atlantic Yards.
Someone said the owner bought the house for under $100K? What, was it a shell? So you think he spent more than a Mill on his rehab?
I do have to say that the rear window wall is really cool.
When did a fourth floor walk-up become a penthouse? This is liek Bush-speak!
So the lower duplex is what? the basement and the sub-basement? Charming. No need to buy a burial plot. when you die you can be buried in place. ughh.
I object sternly to the insinuation that we boob lovers have only a middle-school education. I have a graduate degree and agree that boobs make the world go round.
Thank you.
exactly 426…thank you for the clarification…finally.
