House of the Day: 154 Noble Street
After chilling on the market for the past three and a half months, the four-story brick house at 154 Noble Street in Greenpoint just had its asking price trimmed by $100,000 to $1,250,000.

After chilling on the market for the past three and a half months, the four-story brick house at 154 Noble Street in Greenpoint just had its asking price trimmed by $100,000 to $1,250,000. The house is part of a nice row of brick houses on one of the prettier residential streets in Greenpoint. As always, though, we’re pretty skeptical of the fact that the listing includes only one interior photo—and it’s a close-up of the (quite nice) parquet floor. What gives? If the interior is decent, do you think the new price is reasonable?

so many more charming buildings than this for the $… this one’s not my cup of tea… even if I did hit the lotto.
They also don’t know anything about houses… about renovating a townhouse… basic things you should know about townhouses if you are going to sell them.
The real estate agents showing this property have no knowledge of Greenpoint. They are probably the biggest stumbling block for the sale of this house. They didn’t even know that the house is one block from the highest ranked public school in Brooklyn.
Jefe – I’m interested as to why you think its “pretty amazing”. Are you easily impressed?
House is a wreck inside. Still set up as a dentist office on the ground floor with a 1 bedroom connected above. Weird bedroom and half-done bath in the basement. Postage stamp outdoor space with no privacy. Needs lots of work but 2 rentals could bring in good income, they are free market.
It is definitely not under contract.
Ralph,
I think it is under contract. That is a pretty amazing building though.
Saw the Milton St one too. SMALL footprint – 14 x95. No backyard, all yard is in the front. It’s very narrow. It ok inside, but $1.6 is TOO much for that tiny bit of land.
This house too has been on /off the market for over 1 year, just with different brokers. They previously were
asking around $1.1/$1.3. Interesting that in a turning market they raise the asking price.
Gap in the floorplan is a cut out in the house for air flow. You look out one window into another room on the floor with a courtyard in between. Can’t really do anything with it because you’d have to access it via the window.
here’s another one in an amazing row of landmarked buildings:

not sure what the gap is in the floor plan. maybe a court yard?
Ha!ha! “Greenpernt” as the way old timers used to call it… “terlet”
“airy way” ….
Some real insanity going on… where it all ends who knows!
