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.

2:51 is the broker
Still a good price, if you ask me.
i think it will go for les than 3M
dont know how theyre coming up with these prices
i wouldn’t even consider living so close to the projects, much less pay a premium for that pleasure
2:35…ridiculous…it’ll go for much more.
this place is worth 1.5 Max
2:26
No one is “paying $4M” as yet. The asking price may be high…okay…
Making cracks like “for fort blacke?” remains racist and ignorant.
Oh, so what 2:26? God, you people act as if the entire population of the projects are camped out in front of this block waiting for stupid (white) people to emerge with their Prada bags stuffed with money. Give it a rest already. There is a world of difference between this block and the projects, and since it’s still legal for the residents of the latter to walk past the former, mostly on their way to work, if anyone interested in this house can afford to bite, and loves it and the neighborhood, they will. If they don’t, they won’t.
the housing project talk is nonsense.
people pay 10 million on the upper west side to be a block from the projects.
they pay that much and more to live in west chelsea…also right near housing projects.
lower east side, same deal.
harlem, you guessed it.
your comments are completely ignorant. almost every neighborhood in the city is next to housing projects.
it’s one of the things that make this a unique and special city. lots of different people of various income levels living side by side.
if you don’t like, move to greenwich.
ignorance is paying $4M for a house thats in the shadows of a huge housing project
