House of the Day: 115 Hall Street
Talk about a flipper mark-up! The current owner of this house on Hall between Myrtle and Park got the place a year ago for $595,000. He’s clearly done some cosmetic work, just judging by the photo of the front door in the listing and the photo in the Property Shark archive. (But judging by one…
Talk about a flipper mark-up! The current owner of this house on Hall between Myrtle and Park got the place a year ago for $595,000. He’s clearly done some cosmetic work, just judging by the photo of the front door in the listing and the photo in the Property Shark archive. (But judging by one photo of a sealed up fireplace next to a Home Depot-esque kitchenette, not all that work will have universal appeal.) But the past is the past. The house is now listed for the oddly specific price of $1,011,000. One major selling point which the broker doesn’t include is the property’s proximity to this place two houses over!

Agree. $875-900 sounds about right.
wrong 9:44, house will go for around 900K +. hot area right now.
Wow! That kind of money near the BQE? I had a top floor loft like apartment for $300 while going to Pratt. I lived at 111 Hall back in the 80’s when people were really smoking crack over there.
Walt Whitman lived at 99 Ryerson street in a wood frame in 1850. He finished writing Leaves of Grass and published it while living there. Paul Berman wrote a piece about it in the New Yorker called “Walt Whitman’s Ghost”, it was actually a book review but as part of it he tracked down the house which still stands and included a present day photo of it. I believe most of these houses were all built around that time. Ryerson is next door to Hall street.
that ryerson place is tiny!!..15.5 ft wide…..will never sell for close to 975000…
I saw that Ryerson place too — it’s quite nice. It has been on the market for a long time, though.
for the neighborhood I really liked this place and almost put in an offer but it’s pretty far to the subway from out there: http://www.corcoran.com/property/listing.aspx?Region=NYC&ListingID=921868
If you look at the Citi-Habitats listing for this house, the closet door in photograph number 8 appears to have been installed upside down…
I hope that’s not indicative of the quality of this house’s flip. It’s a nice house anyway and at least some of the interior details are still intact.
But for just over $1,000,000.00, you can probably get better even in that neighbourhood.
anon 1:12…these houses are most definitely from the 19th century (i.e., 1880s or 1890s to be exact)…
