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…

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 quite a bit more than the $1,115,000 a couple paid for 404 Stuyvesant Avenue last spring. 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.

Hmm, Babs is nothing to write home about but more attractive than Elizabeth Stribling. I guess Stuyvesant Heights beats Brooklyn Heights in this round.

Where’s the What and PropJoe on this?????
Do any of you really think Babs is going to be taking a subway anywhere? Beautiful looking home.
Does anyone think she’s going to try to flip it? (serious question too)
blackstoner…you should visit…you’d be surprised how nice and quiet and clean it is. Take the A train to Utica…get off at the end of the train and walk out through Fulton Park….its really very nice.
Somebody post a pic of babs so I know who she is if I run into her at peaches!!!
“how bad is it over there that this sells for only 1.4?”
Only? Stuy Heights compares less to Clinton Hill where a place like this could have went for 2. CH has FG as it’s neighbor. SH is encapsulated by Bed Stuy proper. 1.4 is no discount.
It is a lovely place, I think limestones are great. This is a better deal than that place she bought in Red Hook on the basis that RH was to be the next Williamsburg. (Didn’t do her transportation homework there).
