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?

“New York Times for 14 days?”
Its called relisting. they charge you for two weeks at a time.
“How could you have bid on this the last week in January when it has only been posted in the New York Times for 14 days?”
I’m not the bidder, but it says ” >14 days” on the NY Times ad. That means it was listed MORE THAN 14 days ago. I saw this listing a long time ago when it was first posted.
And the other poster is right about this brokerage firm keeping their few listings online FOREVER even long after they’ve closed.
How could you have bid on this the last week in January when it has only been posted in the New York Times for 14 days?
Please note how much prettier the butterscotch color windows look than the ugly white windows.
There is a method to the madness.
So do we get another HOTD today…since this one is off the market
How long would it take us to sell our house FSBO? The house is prime FG. 21′ or so wide lot Needs work and a reno. Not for the faint of heart I guess but we enjoy it. Buyer will probably plunk $200-330K in to make it perfect before moving in. Is a double duplex. No tenants. Good sized rooms throughout. Used as a one family and could stay that way. Thinking of asking in the 1.5 range. What’s the market for this kind of place? Will it fly off the shelf or should we price lower…could we price it higher?
Hi – this house is already in contract. It was only on the market 5 days. I was personally involved in an intense bidding war. The house is amazing. The former owner did a great job of restoring the original details and upgrading the mechanicals. It also has a nicely landscaped backyard with a goldfish pond.
I know for a fact that the final sales price is significantly above the asking price. I bid significantly above asking, and was bested by someone who made the offer significantly higher than mine.
It really sucked! I loved that house!
By the way Brownstoner, you are crazy late on this one. I bid on it during the last week in January
If this were in my price range, and I were in the market, it’s one of the few houses I’ve seen here that makes me want to take a second look.
