I love it when the brokers turn on each other, snarling like hyenas fighting over a gazelle carcass.
Delusional pricing – and on an Elliman listing in Brooklyn – who would have thought it? They don’t often see the high quality listings but they invariably start at least 20-25% too high in my experience. If you price $2.5M houses at $4M plus then it stands to reason you would price a $5M house at $8M. Watch them slash this one – better still watch the listing move back to a more reputable shop.
the lintels might be a nod to neo-gothic, but it is a rather ordinary looking house. and if the square footage is 6250, that brings the price up to 1300/sf. why not buy in greenwich village?
That block is as quiet as a helicopter launch pad. Whirring rotors day and night.
Gothic? Excuse me? Who are you trying to fool?
I don’t know about 8 million dollars but that is a fantastic block. 1 and 1/2 blocks to the train and one block from the Promenade and it is a really pretty quiet block, not like Hicks one block over which is like a service road for the BQE.
This is house is Federal. Like hundreds of houses in Brooklyn. Nice, but totally ubiquitous. Not special, not unique.
Ah well…. this is the blog where posters admit they have never heard of Che Guevara.
As I sign off, I would like you merry men and women to know that this is not an Italianate house, or even a Renaissance revival house, but rather a Gothic revival house, very rare, look at the Tudoresque “label” lintels.
Pearls before swine.
Hey, what’s Britney Spears up to now?
Some ass on her, right?
Is there an extension built onto this house? Propertyshark says the building is 25×50, so 5 floors would make it 6250 sf, not 7200.
PS, there is nothing Gothic about this house.
