House of the Day: 193 Washington Park
While the owners of 204 Washington Park try to get close to $3 million for their five-story brownstone, a 25-footer up the block at 193 Washington Park just hit the market with a price tag of $3,875,000. (Another comp: The 4,400-square-foot, immaculately renovated house at 181 Washington Park sold last spring for $3,037,500.) Before you…

While the owners of 204 Washington Park try to get close to $3 million for their five-story brownstone, a 25-footer up the block at 193 Washington Park just hit the market with a price tag of $3,875,000. (Another comp: The 4,400-square-foot, immaculately renovated house at 181 Washington Park sold last spring for $3,037,500.) Before you completely write off the owners as lunatics, consider that it is a solid 6,500 square feet. That said, it’s been in the same hands for over 25 years and, while certainly in decent shape and full of charm, it’s not like somebody just dumped a million bucks into the place. As much as we love the location, we have a hard time seeing how a family buyer would step up at this price. The only possibility would be for a conversion and event that, with a pre-conversion price of about $500 a foot, seems pretty skinny.

It says alot for the thread when “the What” seems to make the most sense. Congratulations again Brownstoner. Jerry Springer syndication cant be too far off. Maybe you will go into reruns soon.
And toss in a dozen of the hottest houseboys this fair metropolis has to offer.
I think people were more willing and able to spend more money 6 months ago. Now, no way. But regardless, this house is way overpriced for what you get. For almost $4 million freaking dollars in Ft. Greene you better give me the Pfizer Mansion details, but in move-in condition.
I think people had this kind of money six months ago, but not any more. Six months fom now the money situation will be worse.
We are in for a little dip in the economy. Strap yourself in and hold your breath, pray you don’t toss your cookies.
the what = allen m???
$2.5 tops. $3.2 if it was in perfect renovated condition.
Yep, Citibank is definitely fucked.
