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.

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]
i love having a car. if you have weekend activities or a second home, totally necessary. renting a car is a huge pain in the ass if it’s every weekend, and way more money. plus, if you ski, you want all wheel drive. the one year i didn’t have a car and needed one, i had to call five places to get the last car for $124 that didn’t have power steering!
I live in brooklyn now, but it is true that it’s easier to find a parking spot to rent in manhattan. PS is the worst there’s just no where to park. North Brooklyn is better, but afraid that my current lot will eventually turn into a condo.
I bought a house and park my car in the living room. Cheaper than a garage space, but it is very hard to keep the oil stains off of the sofa.
I bought a parking spot in a garage and I live there. Cheaper than a house and easier to clean, but it is very hard to insulate.
“come on when purchasing property one must consider the parking issue”
Uh, hello: mass transit and Zipcar? Lots of us in this city don’t give a second thought to parking.
“I love Brooklyn and have no intent on leaving but come on when purchasing property one must consider the parking issue. ”
Are you serious?? Why the hell do you live in the city, if parking is such a concern for you. Most people I know do not have a car, but rent one when needed (and yes, many of them DO have kids). Why live in a city if a car is so important to you? Absurd!
“This grand piece of history has been home to many fine families, including, for thirty years, the former chairman of Morgan Stanley.”
It’s a typo. They meant to say, “the former chair man, Morgan Stanley” (a well known furniture maker).

The current chairman of Morgan Stanley will be lucky to afford Bed-Stuy if he keeps forgoing his bonus
Actually…I have no issue parking in Clinton Hill or Crown Heights. I made the comment because folks seem to believe that everything about Park Slope is perfect and to be honest it’s not…It’s crowded and parking is a Bitch!
I love Brooklyn and have no intent on leaving but come on when purchasing property one must consider the parking issue.
I take the following quote from 2:41’s $12.5 mill listing in order to put to rest once and for all the question of whether top wall streeters ever live in brooklyn: “This grand piece of history has been home to many fine families, including, for thirty years, the former chairman of Morgan Stanley.”
