House of the Day: 303 Park Place
As we’ve saying for a while now, prime Prospect Heights is where it’s at. The nicest brownstone blocks match up to just about anywhere in terms of charm, there’s a funkiness that is completely missing from Park Slope and the houses are, what, 30 to 40% cheaper? As a result, a house like 303 Park…
As we’ve saying for a while now, prime Prospect Heights is where it’s at. The nicest brownstone blocks match up to just about anywhere in terms of charm, there’s a funkiness that is completely missing from Park Slope and the houses are, what, 30 to 40% cheaper? As a result, a house like 303 Park Place, even though it’s relatively small, will have buyers lining up, we think, to pay the asking price of $1,595,000. Especially when you take into account the 131-foot-deep lot and the surfeit of well-preserved details in this place. Agree? The first showing’s not til May 17th.

I was in the house on Lincoln Place. IT DEFINITELY HAD STRUCTURAL ISSUES…
Re: Carlton. That’s a choice. Do you like noise, dirt, pollution and traffic? These are factored into the price and that’s why its a ‘bargain’
There was no structural damage at the Lincoln Place house. The stairs need replacing, but that’s not a big deal. The floors are a bit tilty, but it’s normal old-house settling.
Corcoran listing, that is.
This brings me to listing at 546 Carlton, between Dean and Pacific. Does anyone think this might be a good investment? Or that living there might not be so bad? It’s a relative bargain.
Re 2:48 a thoughtful post, but am wondering about your comment “the Atlantic Yards Effect is going to be rapid appreciation in value for PH real estate — that will benefit from more services on Vanderbilt & Washington,”
Vanderbilt has a good supermartket (as BK supermarkets go, a nice wine shop, a handful of great restuarants, drycleaners, a bakery, a coffee shop. etc. We aren’t lacking much. I really think that the arena will bring in franchises like KYC as they will be appealing to sports fans -take a look at what’s around Madision Sq garden. That is not a neighborhood I would chose to eat in, given a choice. Also there is the likelyhood that buildings on Vanderbilt will be torn down to put in Parking Garages or larger stores. All of these I think of as detrimental to PH. And all this is without mentioning the parking situation. All this makes me, a long time PH resident, very sad as I think this change is inevitable and not for the better.
People are getting pretty ornery, lol! I don’t think there was any intended bashing of Park Slope. Everyone knows its a nice nabe. P Heights is nice too, and has its own feel, that’s all.
this is $680/foot. a bit high, but I hope they get it.
funkiness was definitely meant as a compliment.
