House of the Day: 103 Greene Avenue
This new listing at 103 Greene Avenue sure is a looker. While we could do without the recessed lighting and the tile selection, the house has tons of original charm and is in beautiful shape.

This new listing at 103 Greene Avenue sure is a looker. While we could do without the recessed lighting and the tile selection, the house has tons of original charm and is in beautiful shape. It’s part of a row of stoopless brownstone just in on the Clinton Hill side of Vanderbilt (though the listing stretches for some Fort Greene branding!). Anyway, beautiful house, aggressive price tag: The ask is $2,350,000. That said, the current owners did pay $2,100,000 for the place in 2007, though that was the height of the market. We shall see.

Lovely house. Back stairs are a nice touch.
But it’s only fair for the sellers to at least get back what they paid and cover their transaction costs
He’s not the only one who has expressed hatred for recessed lighting. Plenty of others act like it’s equivalent to mass murder or something.
I think having the back stairs are really awesome. I’d rather have the deck off the parlor floor, but this is not too bad a compromise if for whatever reason the deck didn’t work back there. (It appears to be a shallower than usual lot, so maybe a deck larger than a postage stamp would eat up too much of the garden.)
I have no idea on the pricing, other than it seems a priced to anchor the buyer’s bids above what the owners paid in 2007. I am guessing that this will not sell below $2.1, unless more than 8 months go by.
Snappy, dont be vague. that someone you want to ask is Mr B
Can someone please explain to me the damnation of recessed lighting? Is one supposed to hang a period-appropriate chandelier in every room or use a ton of table lamps and have no ‘full room’ lighting? What’s the problem? It’s not like there are 60 cans in a tiny space.
that’s a noisy spot too – car and bus traffic wise.
I agree, m4l. At this price point, it’s competing with the beautiful Montrose-designed beauty at 287 Dekalb. This one is nice, but not as spectacular.
too pricey. this is more like a 1.7-1.8M at most.
