House of the Day: 185 St. James Place
We were poking around for houses on the market in Clinton Hill yesterday and realized that there are hardly any for sale right now. Strange. One that is, and that has flown beneath our radar despite being only a block away from our place, is 185 St. James Place. From what we can, the four-story…
We were poking around for houses on the market in Clinton Hill yesterday and realized that there are hardly any for sale right now. Strange. One that is, and that has flown beneath our radar despite being only a block away from our place, is 185 St. James Place. From what we can, the four-story brick is quite attractively priced at $1,200,000. We haven’t seen anything of this size and charm for sale in the area at this price for a long, long time. Are we missing something or is this actually a good deal?

This house was priced perfectly for the block. If any of you follow the real estate on this block you will know that a condo at 112 went for 1.125 a month and half earlier which makes this house a bargain especially with the rental income which will fetch about $1500 based on the comps in the area of similar places.

excuse? I had to fight people off when renting my 670 sq ft apt around the corner from this one for $1550 per month 9 months ago. everyone kept thanking us for keeping below market.
Question about the house: Those shutters aren’t original, are they?
And who the hell are you, 6:42?
The postings of the person that calls himself “what” are repetitive and boring.
Lewis Carroll could write nonsense verse very well. this person cannot. I say delete him.
The 2:43pm post is so obviously bogus. One look at those photos and it’s clear the house (while having some nice detail and, hence, lots of potential) is currently very far from being “amazing.”
I will say this: I rant about REAL things. Things about our Economy, Banking System, Mutant Real Estate Bubble and The Asshole Industrial Complex. No one, I mean no one has refuted anything that I have posted. And you know why, because they have some interest in it. Take for example: Our beloved Brownstoner himself. He overpaid for this Brownstone (I will put up 1000.00 bet on that anytime). So he and others need to hype their shit! But now the fucking air is coming out of our RE market. So what he do? He post overpriced shit on this blog and don’t write about where he lives (Ha Ha). You notice he’s in Park Slope or Billybburg or Whateverthefuck but, not where he lives. Now this assfuck is mad at the What. The What points out the obvious in our markets and make some fun doing it. Hey Brownie it’s not about The What or Brownstoner, it’s about our future. America is fucked financially and it will take some pain to correct it..

Someday this war is gonna end…..
the brownstoner photo is lightyears better than the photo on the location web site.
what a handsome house, no wonder it sold.
