House of the Day: 207 Berkeley Place
It’s amazing that in this day and age a brownstone in prime Park Slope would still be listed the old-fashioned way—with a hand-made picket sign in the front yard—but such is the case with 207 Berkeley Place. (Cementing the broker’s old-school cred is the accompanying ad in the Village Voice—remember when that was the starting…
It’s amazing that in this day and age a brownstone in prime Park Slope would still be listed the old-fashioned way—with a hand-made picket sign in the front yard—but such is the case with 207 Berkeley Place. (Cementing the broker’s old-school cred is the accompanying ad in the Village Voice—remember when that was the starting point for any apartment hunt?) The 4-story, 2-family house is being offered through Roy Manganelli (at 718-768-8888) for $2,900,000 $2,700,000. The house is divided into two duplexes and looks like the original details are very much intact, albeit in some need of a spruce-up. We’re guessing that, even though the sign just went up a few days ago, one of you has already checked it out. So cough up the goods!

Actually we are not Bulgarians, as one poster suggests.
Our family, the Bushes of Palo Alto, CA., are English and came over to the original Jamestown, VA settlement.
This is a beautiful home, purchased and restored by my father, who sadly passed away last year.
The guy has no experience. Came out of retirement?? He is not doing the family any favors.
sf is not brooklyn.
georgetown is not brooklyn (maybe bh.)
seattle is dirt cheap.
i could buy a house in west hollywood for under 1mil.
brooklyn is vastly expensive considering the downsides. and i /like/ brooklyn, but the prices do not bear up.
i don’t agree, 11:07.
while the housing market is and should be cooling, i’m not sure that someone buying 3 million dollar properties are quite as affected by a percentage point increase in mortgage rates.
i’ll let everyone know when i see the sign disappear.
roy said he’s had quite a few calls (and that was before the brownstoner post yesterday) so it appears that his homemade sign might be doing the trick.
No matter. With Jumbo mortgage rates going through the roof, nothing will be selling for the moment i.e. until the mortgage market figures out where it wants its rates to go.
Let’s not forget Paris, London and Hong Kong which are all far more expensive.
two more notes:
roy is retired. he came out of retirement to help the family with this sale only. he’s a friend of the family.
they have had an investor interested in the place, but the remaining family does not wish to go that route.
georgetown townhouses go for upwards of 2 million and i see zero difference between there and park slope or brooklyn heights.
i could find you 20 listings of townhomes in san francisco without blinking for above this price.
the point is, it isn’t a brooklyn phenomenon. you should take a look at some of the other real estate markets out there…seattle, boston, los angeles. i think you’d be surprised.
holy crap that DC house is nice! I moving to DC!
See ya.
Difference being that a rowhouse in DC would be around 6-700k vs 2.7mil. Even a ludicrously large (6k sqft) corner rowhouse in a fairly desirable area near the U street corridor would be 1.3mil.

Brooklyn, in terms of other rowhouse towns, is insanely high priced.
