House of the Day: 106 Lincoln Place
Except for the recessed lighting on the parlor floor (and the lack of some crown moldings), the brownstone at 106 Lincoln Place in Park Slope is looking pretty tasty. (The single-family house is one of six in a row designed by Brooklyn architect F. B. Langston in the late 1880s.) There’s some drool-worthy woodwork and…
Except for the recessed lighting on the parlor floor (and the lack of some crown moldings), the brownstone at 106 Lincoln Place in Park Slope is looking pretty tasty. (The single-family house is one of six in a row designed by Brooklyn architect F. B. Langston in the late 1880s.) There’s some drool-worthy woodwork and a permanent parking space to boot. The price of $3,150,000 feels pretty 2007 to us but it’s certainly not impossible for something like this in move-in condition.

People who have an apartment in Manhattan they’ve owned for several years they can sell at a large profit are exactly who can and who are spending $2-$3 million for a house in Park Slope or elsewhere. Hard to sell an apartment in Brooklyn and make that jump, but you can make a smaller jump selling a Brooklyn coop you’ve owned a long time. We did that and it enabled us to buy a million dollar house. Not in Park Slope, needless to say, at that lower price.
We saw Morgan Spurlock walking with his wife (she was in his movie as his then girlfriend) on 5th Ave the other night.
No Cupcakes at closing 🙁
It’s bullshit 4:09–there’s ALWAYS someone (a seller, broker) who comes out and says they JUST sold their UWS apartment and can pay cash for a Slope brownstone. If it were true, it’d be stupid to be telling people on a blog, instead of just buying it already. It just works against you by creating interest and competitive bidding–which is why I call bullshit.
‘My gay brother just moved to Park Slope last year and just loves it. We can’t wait to be in the same hood and have a bbq.’
Why do I need to know this??? I don’t care about your family or what you like to eat.
Well you don’t get or stay rich by overpaying.
Just thought it would be helpful to point out that some people can and do buy these homes, despite what many of you seem to say.
So I guess this is ps. 29 then?
Heard good things about that school also.

The Sterling Place house is wider than this one, albeit by about 1 foot. But it feels much wider. I’ve seen both places and I definitely rate Sterling as a much better house overall. The woodwork and wainscoting at Sterling are superior, and it feels much more spacious. I also find the exterior of the house to be more attractive. But, it’s apparently still overpriced since it’s been on the market at that price for a while.
This is not in ps 321.
3:50–no, it’s not PS 321. And congratulations that you can afford this house almost outright. And your point in announcing it on a blog is…?
