House of the Day: 204 Washington Park
This five-story brownstone at 204 Washington Park will be an interesting test for the Fort Greene market. Priced at $3,100,000, the house is 23 feet wide and overlooks Fort Greene Park. The Corcoran listing claims it’s 6,900 square feet but, unless there’s an extension they’re not telling us about, it’s hard to see how it’s…
This five-story brownstone at 204 Washington Park will be an interesting test for the Fort Greene market. Priced at $3,100,000, the house is 23 feet wide and overlooks Fort Greene Park. The Corcoran listing claims it’s 6,900 square feet but, unless there’s an extension they’re not telling us about, it’s hard to see how it’s much over 5,000 square feet. Either way, $3 million is a huge psychological milestone for the neighborhood. A very similar brownstone just down the block at 181 Washington Park closed for $3,037,500 in June, so it can be done. But, remember, that place had been renovated to perfection. Corco would do well to add some interior photos to the listing.

well if things keep up, i think it’s becoming less expensive to live in park slope than ft. greene, anyway.
i haven’t seen but a townhouse or two break the 3 million mark there.
Only recreatinal runners run on a track. Real runners need a park or trails. We run on the track only for speed work.
For the runners, isnt there a track at the field where bklyn tech students play ball at fulton and clermont/vanderbilt? i thought my tenant says she runs there.
JOKE! THIS IS ALL A JOKE! THERE IS NO EXTENSION. TRUE MESS! BUYER BEWARE!
I live very nearby – the house is 23 by 50, with an 8 foot extension on garden and parlor floors, bringing square footage to 6100 (from the exterior). Horrendous renovation, permits not closed out because huge code violations (electric and others), still has SRO C of O (hence the B&B reference by Corcoran), boiler violations, repeated flooding of garden and parlor floors (garden not occupied as a result), configured as rentals on every floor except 4/5 floor duplex. Have an engineer look VERY HARD at this house.
S. Portland, according the the poster above.
I don’t get the posting about the new owners of 181 Wash PArk. Where did they come from?
It is only 1.3 miles up Vanderbilt Ave to the Prospect park loop. Its about 6 miles from washington park to the prospect park loop and back. I also run from Washington Park over the brooklyn Bridge and back which is about 4.8 miles.
I agree about running. I run too and Prospect Park is the only viable running park I know of in Brooklyn. There were some days this past winter when I was the only person running the loop since it was so cold.
