HOTD: Price Cut at 181 Washington Park
When this perfectly restored brownstone overlooking Fort Greene Park debuted at the beginning of the Summer, most people had the same reaction: “Totally awesome but $4 million?” That was then, this is now. Brooklyn Properties was given the axe a few weeks ago in favor of Brown Harris Stevens, who has now trimmed $200,000 off…
When this perfectly restored brownstone overlooking Fort Greene Park debuted at the beginning of the Summer, most people had the same reaction: “Totally awesome but $4 million?” That was then, this is now. Brooklyn Properties was given the axe a few weeks ago in favor of Brown Harris Stevens, who has now trimmed $200,000 off the asking price. It still seems like a reach to us but when you’re dealing with a spectacular house, you just never know. Stranger things have happened.

Stepping Out On FG Park (For Almost $4 Mil!) [Brownstoner]
it’s a great place but i just don’t see people spending that type of money given what you can get for that sum in park slope or ritzy parts of boerum hill. reality is that majority of brooklyn brownstone buyers capable of dropping that type of loot aren’t spending it in fort greene. such a buyer is a rarity.
I could see this pricing if the property was in Park Slope. (Montgomery between 7th ave and the Park)
This house is overpriced by $750M. If the seller is prepared to wait a long time, they might find that one buyer.
Its a beauty. No central AC though. It sux but it has a gang of character.
It’s still overpriced by about $1 Million. The pricing is more in the range for Brooklyn Heights not Fort Green.
It’s beautiful. Really lovely. I think that such a property needs to be marketed properly by a realtor which uses the web well to expand the potential buyer base. It is a big price tag and out of range with everything in the area, so they need to appeal to buyers who might have targeted BH or Cobble Hill.
My god – someone got gunned down in New York City? Well now, I guess the entire NY real estate market is toast (or dare I say, “shot”).
This house looks great, if I had the cash I would not hesitate for a second. Has anyone been inside?
It seems that brooklyn properties still has the listing — it is still on their website. Brooklyn Properties has has better pictures and description. No floorplan on either site, which I think is kind of odd.
What?
