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.

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!

6:02 — No, I could never afford this price. But given the prices that brownstones in this neighborhood are commanding, I don’t think the price is realistic. I’ve often thought of cashing out and buy an already renovated place in park slope, but there just aren’t any deals anymore. I actually live across the street from this house. We were lucky to buy our apartment when we did 15 years ago. We could never afford it now.
5:27 – I take it you will pay 2.7 for it.
It’s got all the lovely detail intact and it’s in an unbeatable location. I’m not surprised at the 2.7 million price tag. Someone who wants to move into the neighborhood will have that money.
3:49 – I think I saw that listing at St John and it was in much better shape. Also they overpaid.
Slopehead, I feel the same way. What would you pay for this listing.
Me, I would pay 1.75 – 1.9
A place on St. John’s recently sold for $3m and was 3400 sq ft.
This house is 4600 sq ft so I don’t think $2.7 is too much to ask.
here’s my take on it. i think it probably needs about 500K worth of work.
although i do think given the market and the size and the location, blah blah that 2.7 million doesn’t seem too bad.
but the problem is that you don’t see too many brownstones go for much more than 3 million around here. i think some of the nicer ones like this could test the market for the 3 million plus park slope brownstone market, but it seems a little iffy.
if you’re buying because you have a large family, love it and want to stay for the next 30 years, it’s nearly a no brainer, however.
ANON is not a Bulgarian name, it is Albanian.
This is large house. Easily should sell for asking. Only problem is not much exposure (I mean, really, the Village Voice to sell a Park Slope brownstone?)
What the hell are you talking about Christian. My family is Bulgarian and I have never heard of what you speak of!
