House of the Day: 82 Sterling Place
The house at 82 Sterling Place in Park Slope has been in the same hands since the early 70s and, from the sound of the listing, it shows. The four-story, four-family brownstone “needs renovation,” perhaps so much so that the broker opted not to include any interior photos. They’re asking $2,200,000, which seems like a…

The house at 82 Sterling Place in Park Slope has been in the same hands since the early 70s and, from the sound of the listing, it shows. The four-story, four-family brownstone “needs renovation,” perhaps so much so that the broker opted not to include any interior photos. They’re asking $2,200,000, which seems like a lot for a property that’s being positioned as blank slate for a developer, even in this part of town. There was an open house yesterday so we’re hoping someone out there can fill in the blanks about the interior.

Absolutely, much better, 5:48. Thanks.
More like apples and horse apples.
whine, whine, whine, not my listing, blah, blah, blah, too expensive, can’t afford it, blah blah, blah, can’t believe people are trying to make a buck, blah
The Berkeley Place home was not a FSBO, it was a friend/small broker who has helping them out. I saw the place with this broker. I also went to this Sterling Place house, and didn’t bother to enter after seeing that poor facade. You cannot compare these two houses–apples and oranges.
Yeah, it probably will. Because there is always either a) a sucker or b) a developer with dough. Oh well, as long as they make that eyesore look better than it does now…
“Is 5:19 the same broker who points to the Berkeley Place sale”
The Berkeley Place home reference was a for sale by owner…Why would a broker bring that up?
I think you’re thinking of another Berkeley Place house that was not a fixer listed by Corcoran.
Calm down.
This place will sell in 2 weeks.
For 2 million-ish.
Ok, 5:19: HUGE, HUGE, HUGE difference between this place and Berkeley. Berkeley had beautiful original details and fabulous woodwork THROUGHOUT the entire house. The facade was beautiful too. The garden level was in great shape. There is absolutely no comparison. It needed the standard upgrades, but had been lived in as a 1-family, plus garden rental to a shrink, for 30 years. And BTW, it did not sell for 2.7. It was lowered to 2.5 and then it went away, so I assume it sold then. No freaking comparison, no way.
Is 5:19 the same broker who points to the Berkeley Place sale in every comments thread, but then (i) cannot verify the sale or the price, (ii) cannot acknowledge that even if that deal did happen (which nobody knows), it went to contract before the credit crunch?
