House of the Day: 121 Windsor Place
This two-story (plus basement) brick house at 121 Windsor Place in Park Slope has some attractive original details going for it but is going to need some love (read: money) from whomever buys it. Its location has a couple of things in its favor, too, namely its proximity to the F Train and Prospect Park….
This two-story (plus basement) brick house at 121 Windsor Place in Park Slope has some attractive original details going for it but is going to need some love (read: money) from whomever buys it. Its location has a couple of things in its favor, too, namely its proximity to the F Train and Prospect Park. Given that it’s only about 2,000 square feet, though, think the asking price of $1,095,000 is on the mark?

Long term, the house is of great value, its only going up as park slope is now called outer manhattan.
I live nr the house and am selling my brownstone, so I have some knowledge.
1 mill is a good price for a long term family home.
It may dip 5% but thats it.
My house was my first gut reno, its preferable that in most cases its a total gut. It’s viewing a wreck, but believe me its important to remember how it looks after the reno.
Cost approx 150k and to your taste
So for 1.150 a beautiful brownstone in park slope.
Now its a great deal.
have fun
ps
Think its a 2 family with the english basement

I know that no one may ever read this, but anyway, about the flags in WT — the neighborhood is traditionally the home of many police and fire fighter families, going back generations. Thus the flags, for friends and family members lost on 9/11. But that isn’t necessarily a political statement, and it doesn’t define the whole neighborhood. In the 5 yrs I’ve lived here, I’ve heard all points of view, from long-time residents as well as newer young families. — LT
I don’t know if a house like this would decline to 800K, but I also don’t know why no one can accept that prices could go down – it certainly has historical precedent in NYC (see late 80’s-early 90s) and for sure is happening all over the rest of the country, even in markets – Boston, Bay Area – that seemed as hot as NYC not so long ago. For a house like this to go back to 900 range, or even just under a million, does not seem so crazy to me – in fact, I think prices are softening and the volatility of the economy right now and national housing market trends is almost inevitably going to have an impact on the NYC market.
Yeah, some of these other posts are sooo informative and NOT degrading to anyone. Please…..
comments like yours are the primary indication of that, actually, 1:06.
you’ve contributed less than any other poster with your comment.
This site had definitely deteriorated, there is no doubt.
Where is Windsor Terrace?
Beautifully put 10:56. But I would add that Windsor Terrace is also now a neighborhood where this hard-working mother, who was here for 9/11 and volunteered in the aftermath, cannot find an apartment for her and her family to live in, because they are all priced at the $2,000+ range.
