House of the Day: 535 1st Street Revisited
After Corcoran failed to move it back in 2006 first at $3,500,000 and then at $3,100,000, the limestone mansion at 535 1st Street in Park Slope has just come back on the market for another try with Douglas Elliman. The asking price? $3,675,000. The princely pad is 4,420 square feet large, but we’re not sure…

The asking price? $3,675,000. The princely pad is 4,420 square feet large, but we’re not sure why something that failed to sell 18 months ago would now sell for 20% higher in this market. A the very least, it wouldn’t hurt to have some interior photos to look at. (There is one on the old HOTD link below.)

Go back to the Carroll Gardens thread, you barista.
The Corcoran report is based on the city’s numbers. Park Slope was soft across the board relative to other brownstone neighborhoods.
“I don’t really see how a 16 foot house and a 21 foot house are perfect comps.
It’s perfect in the sense that I think this house should sell for much, much more than a 16.5 foot home. ”
NO KIDDING! Maybe if you had read my post more carefully, you’d have seen that I was making that exact distinction. It IS a perfect comp in the sense that you can derive a price from the sale because it’s the SAME strip of limestones on the SAME street. So, if a 16.5′ footer went for $3.025, I was asking what a 21′ wide one should go for???
Also, there is no indication of the state of the interior. At least Townsley & Gay went all out with their photos. Why are there no photos here?
“And also perhaps 5 million in 2013.”
Which will be $2m Canadian.
biscuits and coffeecake anyone?
“$3.0m this year. 2.5m next year.”
Yup, perhaps.
And also perhaps 5 million in 2013.
Features on a house that are pre-landmarking are grandfathered in, 2:08. Old photographs are acceptable as proof.
