Here’s a new listing that probably would have been priced $100,000 or $200,000 higher a few months ago. It’s a three-story, two-family limestone at 905 Lincoln Place in Crown Heights. The block is lovely and the house has amazing wood moldings and floors; no word on the bathrooms and kitchens. Anyway, there’s something refreshingly solid about this one: Beautiful but not grandiose house priced at a level that a non-Wall Street family can afford. Think it’ll go for the asking price?

  1. price is reasonable, but not great.
    I agree with other posters who say lame floor plan is definitely a deal breaker. . .
    with a 3-story, 2-fam, it is much better to have the top two floors to yourself and the garden rental.
    otherwise you lose primo space to stairs and common areas.
    i doubt if it’s really 3400 square feet, but whatever

  2. These stats don’t mean a whole lot. The spectrum of houses that sell in a given year can vary a lot (in terms of quality, address, condition, etc.). Real estate numbers are actually really hard to accurately quantify. Look at Manhattan: In one year there were three sales over $50 million which totally skewed the year-end averages.

  3. Nice house, decent block, close to subways. I’d say this goes for 825’ish.
    If the 3400 sq feet is accurate, thats about $250/sq foot, which is what other houses in Crown Heights have sold for. That was in the past, not sure how low CH will be repriced in 2008.

  4. Hey 2:05, I got called an idol-worshipper by a Southern Baptist once in college, and this was in 1990! So even a hundred years later we see anti-papist sentiment down South. Of course they’re nuts, the evangelicals. I’m flattered if they don’t like me.
