Co-op of the Day: 110 Hicks Street, Reduced
Even blue chip nabes get the blues. This duplex in the brownstone at 110 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights was on the market with Citi-Habitats in late 2006 along with the apartment above it for a combined $2,850,000. It didn’t sell at the time, and the units showed up separately (with the option to combine)…
Even blue chip nabes get the blues. This duplex in the brownstone at 110 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights was on the market with Citi-Habitats in late 2006 along with the apartment above it for a combined $2,850,000. It didn’t sell at the time, and the units showed up separately (with the option to combine) this fall. The larger, lower duplex was originally asking $2,400,000. After two months of no takers, however, the asking price was cut to $1,990,000 right before Christmas, bringing the combined price basically back to where it was in ’06. Here’s what we said about it at the time:
Granted it’s in prime Brooklyn Heights and the interior is nothing to sniff at, but it doesn’t have that somethin’ special (over-the-top historic detail, for example) that we think you need to justify that price in this configuration. We think it’s going to be hard to find someone with that kind of dough who wouldn’t prefer his own house.
Don’t see any reason why that logic wouldn’t still hold.

Co-op of the Day: ‘Spensive on Hicks [Brownstoner]
Drinks at my garage parking spot tonight at 7. Who wants to come?
my street cleaning is tuesday (that would be today) and thursday.
so what’s your excuse again??
still two spots sitting there empty right this very second and it’s now approaching 6pm.
and i’m between 7th and 8th on a named street, so quite prime i’d say.
i’d love to hear your explanation.
People don’t own cars in NYC. The cars own the people.
5:07 – I am guessing that’s because that side of the street has no parking at some time tomorrow due to alternate side of the street parking rules. That’s what can make it easy for out of town visiters who come in the evening to find spaces. If you live here and have a day job that takes you out of the nabe, you need to have a space that good at least until the next evening. That’s why I use a garage. For those of you who don’t understand why people own cars, don’t try to understand. People own cars for whatever reason. Lots of people own cars which is clear from all the cars parked on the streets at all hours.
i’m sitting right now in my apartment in park slope and see THREE parking spaces right outside my front door.
i have friends visit all the time and 9 times out of 10 they end up parking ON MY STREET without delay.
people who complain about park slope parking are the same ignorant bunch that complain about strollers and anything else they can think of.
you think parking is a problem in park slope, clintonhilllady???
i think crime, poverty, lack of transportation, grocery stores or park and crappy schools are a problem in clinton hill.
4:11–many city dwellers do not have a second home or ski vacations for which they need a car.
4:21, you expect too much if you think people like 1:46 are actually going to bother to look at the floorplan before posting.
Yes, there is a stair from the parlor level to the garden.
Those of you who are suggesting wasting a parlor floor with massive ceilings on bedrooms instead of living space are totally nuts. Of course you’d put the bedrooms on the lower level.
You want backyard entertaining, build a deck or stairs down to the garden off the parlor level.
“PS is the worst there’s just no where to park.”
What are you talking about? I don’t own a car, but whenever car-owning friends visit me in the Slope, they NEVER have trouble finding parking. Certainly no more trouble than any other neighborhood in this city.
Perhaps you just offended the Parking Gods.
