Condo of the Day: 163 Washington Park
When we first took at look at the four-unit condo conversion at 163 Washington Park in Fort Greene back in July, there were no interior photos to work with. Now we’ve got a couple to work with. While we’re not on board with all the aesthetic decisions (like the exposed brick fireplace), the slate counters…
When we first took at look at the four-unit condo conversion at 163 Washington Park in Fort Greene back in July, there were no interior photos to work with. Now we’ve got a couple to work with. While we’re not on board with all the aesthetic decisions (like the exposed brick fireplace), the slate counters with white country cabinets is a nice change from granite and bland wood that you see in most of these conversions. If this ground-and-parlor-floor duplex is really 2,432 square feet, then the asking price of $1,395,000 is in the right ballpark on a per square foot basis. As the case of 302 Washington Avenue (which has been on the market for over a year) shows, though, there are definitely psychological barriers in this part of town to paying over a million bucks for only partial ownership in a brownstone. The other three units in the building are already spoken for, though, so we suspect this one’ll go pretty soon.

“The What…I’m disturbed at how much sense you’re making lately….”
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
– Arthur Schopenhauer, (1788 – 1860)
The What: You’re quite sexy when you start throwing the maths around like that, but I’m disturbed at how much sense you’re making lately….
UGH!!!
“in the right ballpark on a per square foot basis” Brownstoner get a fucking clue.
thats alot of fuckin money to make in a year.
If I made that much I would move somewhere cheap and save alot and then buy half of south carolina.
So ridiculous.
A cellar dugout terrace.
Cramming four families like sardines into a single brownstone. And then asking these prices!
Unbelievable.
“if this ground-and-parlor-floor duplex is really 2,432 square feet, then the asking price of $1,395,000 is in the right ballpark on a per square foot basis. ”
WHY WHY WHY do people look at square feet?????????!!!!!!!!!!!
How much does it cost to live there!!!!!!!!!!
Let me take a crack at that. 20% of 1.4 million is 280,000. We Have a debt service of 1.12 million @ 7% equals 7451.39 a month!!!!! Plus maintenance fees will take you over 8,000 a month!!!! Under 28/35 rule, your income must be 28,571 a month or 342,857 per year!!!!!!!!
is in the right ballpark on a per square foot basis. <-- For Who???? See MoFo's why I go the fuck off!!! Mr. B get a clue. This Mutant Real Estate Bubble is over!!!! The What LMMFAO Someday this war is gonna end.....
Also the foyer/vestibule on the lower level entrance is not part of the duplex, it’s common space (for the meters etc) and storage for the owner (has the apartmente on the top floor) – I was told this by the state agent… so even less square footage.
I’ve seen it too, and it really is a parlor floor (at street level) plus an english basement – redone with a rec room and no real bathroom as that would not be legal. Terrible layout, imo. The garden can be accessed from the bedroom (via a bridge) and from the lower level (climb up some stairs), the bedrooms, kitchen and dininng area crammed in the upper floor… I didn’t like the place and thought it was totally overpriced.
