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. Hey 3:14, I’d bet almost anything that’s it’s someone with a post grad education making all the funny comments. Sure they discovered boobs in middle school, but I bet they liked them more and more as time went on.

  2. No matter how you rationalize it, it is still a subdivided brownstone. The problem with cut-up brownstones, especially modest ones like this one, is that you always get that boarding house feel. You’re in a house, but there are little apartments on every floor. It is just not my preference. I am probably too sensitive.
    I can see living in a cut-up house if it were really economical. but a million dollars? That seems unreasonable to me.
    It seems like one would not get one’s money’s worth.

  3. These are still priced too high, even with the price cut. This is not a prime location. Plus, except for the Master BR and bath, all the spaces are cramped. Finishes are nice, but not worth an extra $120,000.
