Barbara Goes Long Stuy Heights
And so it ends. 408 Stuyvesant Avenue, a beautiful limestone mansion in Stuyvesant Heights that we’ve covered closely since December 2006, finally has a buyer, and her name’s Barbara Corcoran. According to The Real Deal, Babs shelled out $1,460,000 for the 4,000-square-foot pad, a good deal less than the original asking price of $2,100,000, but…

It’s hard to take this as anything but a vote of confidence for the area and particular and the Brooklyn market in general, no? Then again, her foray in Red Hook real estate took a while to pan out.

The Dyker Heights place was a true mansion. Mr. B could you repost that for us just as an update.
Great…
Maybe the throop stoop pooper will have a new place to do her deeds…
bkny- ask any long time Bed Stuy resident if Stuy Heights is real. I’ve done my homework. The real estate stuy heights is different than historic bed stuy- which extends to throop ave (most agents and recent transplants consider Stuy Heights to be the blocks around Lewis and Stuy Ave)
This is a beautiful home, but not a “mansion.”
7andfive – Stuy Heights is real and it’s landmarked and historic! do your homework!
If you check back 7andfive, I’ve largely used that designation tongue-in-cheek…but I do like the ring to it. Kind of like BoCoCa and the word “nabes” both which offend a lot of others!!!!
Can we STOP with the Stuyvesant Heights! I’m know I’m losing the battle but people this is just plain ol’ Bed Stuy. Stuy Heights is an imaginary place adapted by real estate agents and Dave.
I hope this becomes a one family and not condos.
How much did 404 sell for earlier this year?
This is great news and extremely exciting. If she converts to condo’s that would be great also, since there is a lack of brownstone condos in the area.
blackstoner – i don’t think your question is honest – it’s outrageous! 1.4M! – these other neighborhoods are way over priced and let’s not forget this house does need quite a bit of work to make it into condo’s or a one family. this is an amazing price especially given what most people paid for their homes a few years ago. This home was purchased for 499k in 2005 and now sold for 1.4M a mere 3 years later – what does that say about how bad the neighborhood is!
