House of the Day: 166 Prospect Place
The four-story brownstone at 166 Prospect Place is lovely, full of historic detail (lots of original woodwork) and clearly well cared for. It’s also on one of the nicest blocks in Prospect Heights.

The four-story brownstone at 166 Prospect Place is lovely, full of historic detail (lots of original woodwork) and clearly well cared for. It’s also on one of the nicest blocks in Prospect Heights. The asking price, however, seems better suited to the other side of Flatbush. Is there any precedent for a 4-story brownstone in this immediate area (especially one without one of the extra-deep backyards Prospect Heights is known for) fetching this price? The best comp we can think of is 202 Prospect Place, which started out with similar ambitions (asking $2,495,000) but ended up closing for $2,100,000. We could see something similar happening here.

“yes 2:45 see how uptight you are…”
I don’t live in Park Slope.
I actually live right around this corner from this house.
Tell me what your point was again??
If you think there are any less stroller moms around here than on 7th ave, you are DEAD wrong. Which is idiotic anyway, because without said stroller moms staying put in Brooklyn, you’d all be seeing your home values decline like in most of the rest of the country.
I love all the fireplaces.
This place really just needs paint, some floor sanding and new furniture to make it a happy home.
The rest can wait.
Will be worth $0 once….
yes 2:45 see how uptight you are…
“I cannot imagine anyone in their right mind paying this much, in the current financial climate, for this house. But this is the new Brooklyn, and being out of your mind is a requirement for home ownership it seems.”
You’ll be back in Ohio in a few years anyway…what do you care??
You’ll be back in Ohio in a few years anyway, 2:45.

2:40…
You are an idiot if you think people who spend 2.5 million vs. 3 million a few blocks away are “less uptight”
You can’t really be that stupid, can you??
To be so close this is a much better area than Park Slope… people less uptight… you have great subways 2,3,Q,B still have the park etc…
