We are digging this new FSBO listing in the Brownstoner Marketplace. This townhouse floor-through apartment at 154 Lafayette Avenue in Fort Greene has some killer Greek Revival details, including a gorgeous parlor ceiling, along with an interesting approach to kitchen design which works well for the space. The asking price is $575,000, which comes in just south of $700 a foot for the 830-square-foot space. You feeling it?

  1. I’ve been to an open house in this very apartment about two years ago when it was on the market, for sale by owner, for around $625,000. At the time the price seemed crazy given the finishes and awkward budget kitchen.

    The apartment still needs a complete re-think of the plan, the huge tube needs to be tossed and the tiling hopefully has been re-grouted. The noise from the bus stop and general traffic is a bit of a buzzkill I have to say. And the AC unit hanging out the window is never an elegant solution.

    The garden needs a dedicated hand given its somewhat shady loaction and weird lack of privacy.

    Offer up the garden level apartment and I’d happily combine them for myself.

  2. Love what they did with the kitchen space – cute place – but I will side with the others it’s probably a bit too pricey

    also I agree with Grand Pa – food prices have risen – my chicken cutlets now are double what they were 9 months ago – UGH
    Gas is up too!

  3. “Why is everyone pretending they have a crystal ball?”

    ’cause it’s fun. But I’m not pretending to have a historical record in front of me. I really do. History repeats.

  4. “As inflation reappears, it will drive up the price of all hard assets, real estate included. Economics 101.”

    Didn’t happen in Weimar Germany. Didn’t happen during the 70’s. RE was sold off to pay for food and energy.
