The four-story limestone rowhouse at 219 St. Johns Place in Park Slope has just been reborn as a three-unit condo building. Someone’s clearly put a lot of money and effort into the project as the renovation looks a cut above your standard conversion. But, then again, it better be a cut above based on the prices they are asking: $975,000 for a 1,039-square-foot floor-through, $1,500,000 for a 1,412-square-foot top-floor three-bedroom, and $2,100,000 for the lower duplex. There’s an open house on Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m.

Somewhere around $1000 sqft in Prospect heights? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhrrrrrrrrrrrfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
babs, that’s a good point. And there’s a reason why banks are reluctant to get involved with tiny, expensive co-ops.
Many ordinary people are in arrears and are one paycheck away from defaulting, or worse, just nor paying their maintenance for months. Do you know what is involved with foreclosing on a deadbeat shareholder? It is a year-long legal process.
Good luck getting financing on a three-unit building — I think there’s maybe like one bankout there even willign to look at that, and they’ll only do 1 unit out of the 3.
For the same price as that lower duplex (which does look nice, I admit), you can buy that entire, beautiful HOTD brownstone on Washington Ave. in Clinton Hill. Guess the developers will take a bath on this one.
I really like these, but, yeah, $1 million/floor ain’t gonna fly. Great reno, though. I think they’ll get within 15-20% of ask.
At these prices I hope they throw in a complimentary set of tires for your G-coupe.
Reality check. Quick. Nearly $1 Million for that 2-bedroom floor through??!! With a master bedroom that is only 9 feet wide??? Oh, they have in-wall HDMI wiring for your HD cable TV, so it must be worth it. We are looking at a serious price chop in the six figures here (and I am talking about six figures starting with a 2). The plans were drawn and work started pre-Lehman, but still, you can lower your costs during the build, cant you?
there are 3 new condo buildings on 7th (albeit bet. 3rd and 4th ave) that have better triplex apartments, lots more real space (2700 sq ft), and lowest level is not completely underground – had patio doors to the outside. pretty sure they went for around 1 mill or 1.15 mill maybe? and, that was a couple of years ago. so, are they saying that this location and a limestone front is worth another million?
does look like a nice reno, but find that tiny living room silly.
You know building standards have gone down when you feel it is necessary to tell people the apartments have solid wood doors, like that’s something special and posh, not the norm.
Over 2 mil for the lower duplex? Sheesh. We’ve had Park Slope HOTD’s for that amount, and you could get a great house in Prospect Hts for that, and have change. Not to mention 2 houses in Crown Heights, and money for renovations.
