112butlerpshark.jpgWhen the modern house at 112 Butler Street hit the market last fall, almost everyone agreed that it was a great example of modern townhouse design. There was significantly less agreement about the $2,250,000 asking price. After being off the market for several months, the price has recently been cut by $100,000. Will this be enough to get a deal done? Hard to say, though the market is arguably stronger now. Of course, the shooting directly across the street earlier this week can’t be helping the sales effort.

  1. I lived at 89 Butler Street from 1963 to 1979. The neighborhood was going to hell quickly and we got out. I knew the person who was shot in the back twice across the street.

    ” Of course, the shooting directly across the street earlier this week can’t be helping the sales effort.”

    The man isn’t even in the ground and you use his murder as an excuse why your overpriced pos house will be harder to sell?
    I hope his ghost comes back to haunt you.

  2. As I recall, this used to be a vacant lot used as parking for the adjacent home (same owner) properties were sold together for a total of $600,000-$700,000 about 4 years ago. They sold the existing home and then built the modern home. Not sure what the construction costs were but it looks like they’ll make out nicely.

  3. I think not 261 but zoned for elem on Union/Hoyt. Which of course did not hurt the sale of the ‘blue house’ on Sackett.
    And ,not that it matters, but
    “is definitely Boerum Hill. Cobble Hill ends at Court ” – ain’t quite right.
    This couple of blocks kinda a no-mans land between Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, and Carroll Gardens. (and please don’t call it Gowanus,yech). All you line in the sand people would say Boerum Hill does not go south of Warren…and most people would not call any block between Court and Smith -‘Boerum Hill’…except some newcomer.
    But this block (and Baltic) did ‘join’ Carroll Gardens Assoc. for what that is worth.
