nycaAs long as we’re doing favors for bloggers, we thought we’d point out the listing NYC-Architecture.com’s Tom Fletcher put up to help out his friend who needs to sell his Boerum Hill 2-Family pronto. We love Tom’s website in general, but also liked the way he put together this listing. The brokerage community could learn a thing or two from it: Imagine, actually having pictures, detailed floor plans, a map and useful links all on one place! Anyway, they’re not exactly giving the three-story Renaissance Revival house away at $1.645 million (and we’re pretty sure the house has been on the market for a couple weeks already), but it appears to have much to recommend it aesthetically. And while you’re checking out the listing, be sure to visit the rest of the site to view Tom’s great selection of architectural photos of Bed Stuy, Greenpoint and more.

  1. That is pretty big difference in floor space — but there’s also a big difference in location between the 5/6 Ave and 3/4 Ave blocks of Saint Mark’s. Factor in one place possibly needing heavy reno and the other clearly not, and the prices may not be that wildly off.

  2. That Corcoran listing is actually Saint Mark’s Place between 3rd and 4th Avenues (and thus more accurately in Boerum Hill depending on whom one asks). Saint Mark’s Avenue does not begin until 5th Avenue. While the block between 3rd and 4th has a certain charm, its houses lack stoops generally and as a whole it tends not to be valued as highly as either Park Slope blocks or other blcoks in Boerum Hill closer to Atlantic or Smith. The fact that the Wyckoff Gardens projects are at the end of the block probably holds down values a little bit as well.

    Does anyone know why Saint Mark’s changes from a “Place” to an “Avenue”? To my untrained eye I cannot tell the difference.

  3. Other house sold by Corcoran was about twice the size?! What, was it 42 feet wide? 80 feet deep? Six stories high? Seems implausible, as this is not a small house — can you post a link?
