House of the Day: 12 Warren Place
We go from a 12.5-foot-wide house for $1,250,000 in the South Slope yesterday for to an 11.5-foot-wide house for $945,000 in Cobble Hill today. And while the South Slope house has about twice as much square footage, it can’t come close to comparing in terms of charm because the Cobble Hill house happens to be…
We go from a 12.5-foot-wide house for $1,250,000 in the South Slope yesterday for to an 11.5-foot-wide house for $945,000 in Cobble Hill today. And while the South Slope house has about twice as much square footage, it can’t come close to comparing in terms of charm because the Cobble Hill house happens to be located in one of the most charming spots in the entire city, Warren Place. Hopefully someone out there will be able to tell us what the highest price for one of these old Workingmen’s Cottages is. Given the great condition and quality of finish in this place, we won’t be surprised if the seller gets her price.

Response to original accepted offer…since buyers have been known to back out before going to contract, it is the brokers responsibility to continue showing a property until a contract is signed. Brokers also have to present all offers to a seller by law. The broker was only doing their job. It was the seller that didn’t keep to the original agreement with you.
2.21 here. Just friends with another anon — got info from her.
There was one that sold for $1.2 but had bigger backyard/lot.
As long as don’t mind stairs and more diminutive furniture – certainly alternative to manyh coops and with nobody over your head.
PS –
2:21 sounds like the listing agent talking.
They’re coming … the sub-1 mil houses!
OK, so this one got bid up, but with news finally getting out that not only subprime but Alt-A mortgage paper (about 40% of market in the past couple of years) is about worthless, RE prices might actually begin to reflect the cost of living … and some sick-money Wall Streeters oughta be hitting the bricks soon.
Nice little house, too.
anon 2.18pm. We were the original offer accepted on Monday — guess you can’t trust a broker.
There was a $960,000 offer accepted and moving along until this morning, then someone came in and trounced with $1.1 million. It’s a beautiful place and all, but that works out at over $1,000 per square foot!
i have recently been in a few of tehm and there is simply nothing like it! This close to the city, this neighborhood, great neighbors, good vibe.
Don’t have the bucks, but if I did I would jump on it in a second.
anon 2:00pm I spoke to the broker yesterday and was told it was still in available.
2:00 – really?
bidding war?-
