House of the Day: Price Cut at 112 Butler Street
When 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…
When 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.

If this is zoned for 261, it is a great school. Other schools in the area are ok, not horrible.
Nabe is definitely Boerum Hill. Cobble Hill ends at Court and this is 1 1/2 blocks past that. Because the Gowanus Houses block of the through street, these can be very quiet blocks.
My theory: Someone saw this hideous building and blew his own head off. I can barely stand it myself!
i think this house is very cool and interesting, although the price is a little high for the size and location
I see no harm in mentioning that someone got their head blown off across the street.
“If I were the homeowner on Butler Street, I’d sue.”
On what legal basis? Defamation of a neighborhood?
Don’t be inane.
It’s a bit irresponsible for Brownstoner to imply that the family quarrel/shooting across the street from 112 Butler Street is indicative of the overall safety of that neighborhood. I dislike the use of scare tactics to deflate prices as much as I dislike when Brokers overstate the hotness of the market to induce people into acting quickly.
The motives behind bringing up this murder is particularly curious, considering how rarely Brownstoner discusses the legitimate safety issues and crime statistics of his own neighborhood – Clinton Hill.
If I were the homeowner on Butler Street, I’d sue.
the comps here are the new “tao” condos on warren, also between smith and the pjs. they’re asking $800+/sf (actually more with the ol mezzanine trick but whatever) and will get something close to it. i’ll take this house anyday.
i wish more people were as petrified of the pjs as you posters profess to be – then i’d be able to buy on these blocks.
I agree. This home is a laughing stock. I actually feel sorry for the people who live here.
I love what they’ve done. Location close to the projects aint great, but definitely not the negative it used to be. And it’s not that big once you factor in garage space, but if you dig modern, this is pretty tasteful.
