Brooklyn Real Estate Listings Six Months Later: Three Sold, One in Contract

This week, a look back at four of our featured listings from six months ago focuses on homes in Park Slope, Bed Stuy, Prospect Lefferts Gardens and Boerum Hill. How did they fare?

This parlor-floor two-bedroom may not be quite as vast as it appears in the photos, but it has magnificent original details and an attractive renovation that maximizes the unit’s footprint. It also has two bathrooms, a breakfast nook, and an office that could work as a third bedroom or double as a guest room. It’s located in a grand 1880s Neo-Grec corner brownstone with five stories and eight apartments at 50 8th Avenue in the Park Slope Historic District, a block from Grand Army Plaza. This former Co-op of the Day sold in July for $2.15 million, which was $400,000 over the asking price.

In the Bed Stuy historic district, a prime 1880s Queen Anne brick and stone row house in estate condition offers exquisite architecture inside and out, but will need some work to restore its former grandeur. Even painted and carpeted, the interior details are striking, including woodwork, plasterwork, pier mirrors and carved wood mantels with colorful original tile. A legal three-family, according to the listing, the house has four kitchens, the floor plan shows. This former Open House Pick sold in July for $2.45 million, which was $20,000 over the asking price.

The Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District is known for elegant late 19th and early 20th century row houses, so this thoughtfully designed mid century modern house is unexpected but contains some prime details of the era. The standalone house made of brick at 110 Maple Street fits in well with the other large, freestanding houses on the block and has intact period kitchen cabinets and baths, a generous yard and a detached garage. This former House of the Day entered contract in August.

In Boerum Hill, this brick two-family still has some original interior details that give some clues to the date of the row house, including Greek Revival-style ear moldings and Italianate marble mantels. The house, at 267 Warren Street, has also had some alterations, including updated wet rooms in the owner’s triplex and the garden rental. While there has been some loss of detail on the interior, the parlor level still boasts high ceilings, pierced plasterwork molding and marble mantels. This former House of the Day sold in May for $5.31 million, which was $560,000 over the asking price.
