House of the Day: Attractive Mid-Slope Miniature
Here’s a new listing in Park Slope from Prudential Douglas Elliman for $2.15 million. This is a charming house to be sure, with original moldings and wide floorboards among other details, but its small size (2,650 s.f.), sunken English basement and Sub-Sixth Avenue location make us question whether over $800 a foot is too much…
Here’s a new listing in Park Slope from Prudential Douglas Elliman for $2.15 million. This is a charming house to be sure, with original moldings and wide floorboards among other details, but its small size (2,650 s.f.), sunken English basement and Sub-Sixth Avenue location make us question whether over $800 a foot is too much for this puppy. The 2-family, 3-story brick house has an attractive garden as well, but that also looks on the small side. We’re not deeply entrenched enough in the Park Slope market, though, to completely write this off. What do others think? Anything on this block sold in recent memory?

I guess it’s okay to complain about the high prices until it’s our turn to sell.
Once Brownstoner.com starts ranking on your real estate listing you’d better pull it off.
We are tough bunch of critics.
For $2.15 million? You bet. Most brownstones are 3,500-4,000 s.f. That’s not to say that 2,650 s.f. is not plenty of space for a family to live in.
Suddenly a 2650 sq. foot house is small?
Hmmm. The link worked yesterday. The listing has definitely been removed–if you search for houses in Park Slope on PDE, this one does not come up.
The listing seems to have been pulled from the Elliman site. Brownstoner is clearly a force to be reckoned with. That, or it was a typo.
I see that a Henry St.-Carroll Gardens house that I think was the May 9 House of Day for $2.2 is now down to $1.9.
Overpriced houses will sit even in this market.
Whereas a President St (PkSlp) house was listed about a week ago for $1.47 is already showing in contract on their site.
$2.15 million to have your street used as a parking lot for Bruce Ratner’s guests? No thanks. You can get so much more, and in a much nicer location, ten or fifteen blocks south in park slope.
