Open House Picks Six Months Later: Two Sold

Of our Open House Picks from six months ago, two homes sold and one is still on the market.

The properties really run the gamut, from location — ranging from prime Brooklyn Heights to a dead-end street at the very end of Bushwick — to type and condition. Options include a fully renovated brownstone, an estate-condition rehab candidate, and a four-family investment property.

First up, on State Street in Brooklyn Heights is a four-story brownstone offering a five-bedroom triplex over a one-bedroom garden rental. The home was once one of several on the block belonging to the same landlord who owns the Heights’ biggest eyesore, the neglected home at 100 Clark Street. It changed hands years back, though, and has been recently renovated.

The home sold in June for $3.9 million, $95,000 under its $3.995 million ask.

On Prospect Place in Prospect Heights is an Italianate brick house on the market for the first time in over 50 years. It’s got some original detail, including moldings and fireplace mantels, but may need some updating, going by the photos. Dating back to 1872, according to the listing, it’s landmarked, sitting within the Prospect Heights Historic District.

The property sold in March for $2.082 million, $132,000 over its $1.95 million ask.

Next up is an unusual property with an appealing modern facade and a hallway clad in corrugated metal. A rare Kensington townhouse listing, on East 9th Street, it contains two apartments on each floor, as well as a pair of sub-level office spaces. Worth noting is that one of the apartments has what may be the narrowest bedroom we’ve ever seen, at 5.75 feet wide.

The home is still listed for $1.9 million.

Last up, a two-family brick townhouse in Bushwick looks to be in move-in condition and a relative bargain. It’s set up with an owner’s duplex and a rental unit.

The location, at the end of a dead-end street across from a graveyard, a couple blocks from the overhead trains at Broadway Junction, at the very end of Bushwick, might explain the attractive price. And hey, at least no one can say it’s not close to the L train.

The home was taken off the market in March. No sales documents have yet hit public records and the broker was not immediately available for comment.
