House of the Day: 273 Baltic Street

This listing at 273 Baltic Street is just popped up on Corcoran—unfortunately without any photos. According to the verbiage, it’s “fully renovated,” complete with central air, a Viking range and a custom media center. We’re guessing that this reno leans toward the modern: “The second floor is accessed via a unique hand made hanging metal staircase which is supported entirely by it’s wall which gives it the appearance of floating from one level to the next.” For $1,995,000 for a three-story, 16-foot-wide house, the reno better be pretty darn nice. Without any pictorial evidence to the contrary, the price sounds like a reach to us.

Do people think this layout is worth $700/sf?
Fat chance 5:04. Make me another creative latte.
you top 1% earners need to stop complaining, lower your standards or move to jersey and make some room for the young, creative people who make 20-60K that made this city the great place it is today.
Actually 4:47, the bottom floor is under ground. The next floor up walks out to the garden. So I would call that 3 floors too (plus basement).
And for the record, my husband and I are in that 1% too (just barely) and we couldn’t afford a $2mm place, just like the other poster.
because it’s a basement, not a garden floor.
It’s actually four floors if you look at floor plans and photograph. This apparently incompetent broker doesn’t count garden floor as a floor.
i’m not a broker, 4:35.
but thanks for asking.
“If the pics were horrendous, the serious buyers will still go look, because a lot of times it’s just cosmetic stuff.”
I beg to differ. I got a steal on my house because the listing broker had a bad website, bad pictures and bad marketing. The serious buyers were scared away before they even made it to the house.
Thanks for your useless insights into my mind, broker 4:26, but when I was looking for my $2M+ home, I made judgments about places after the broker I was working with sent me links. If the house looked crappy in the link, the broker had to work harder to convince me to come take a look in person. Just because you’re not plugged into the web 24/7 doesn’t mean your clients aren’t.
