House of the Day: Third Shot at 204 Washington Park
Will the third time be the charm? The owners of 204 Washington Park are hoping so. In August, Corcoran got the ball rolling with a $3,100,000 listing price. Then Fillmore had a go at $2,900,000 in October. Now Brown Harris Stevens is getting a shot at $2,950,000. At least BHS is getting to market the…

Will the third time be the charm? The owners of 204 Washington Park are hoping so. In August, Corcoran got the ball rolling with a $3,100,000 listing price. Then Fillmore had a go at $2,900,000 in October. Now Brown Harris Stevens is getting a shot at $2,950,000. At least BHS is getting to market the place unencumbered by tenant clutter. This is definitely a sweet padfive stories, lots of detail, park views. Our only nit: baseboard heating. There’s also no mention of SRO status. If that’s been dealt with, we could see the 5,750-square-foot place attracting interest. If not, it’s a pipedream.

HOTD: 204 Washington Park [Brownstoner]
See this comment at 4:47pm, from August 2, 2007 HOTD thread regarding this house and linked to above. I can corroborate this as I saw it with Fillmore:
“I live very nearby – the house is 23 by 50, with an 8 foot extension on garden and parlor floors, bringing square footage to 6100 (from the exterior). Horrendous renovation, permits not closed out because huge code violations (electric and others), still has SRO C of O (hence the B&B reference by Corcoran), boiler violations, repeated flooding of garden and parlor floors (garden not occupied as a result), configured as rentals on every floor except 4/5 floor duplex. Have an engineer look VERY HARD at this house.
My friend used to rent a unit here and went back to see it when it was first listed with Corcoran. The only detail in the house is what you see in the pictures. There is nothing more. The house is completely stripped on the inside. A rental kitchen has been planted smack in the middle of the front parlor, right next to the mantle. And the garden level had major flood issues. It’s only viable for a developer, but at this price it doesn’t make sense for the developer’s bottom line. Also, I see from the Prop Shark link that it’s still technically a 9-family.
Worrisome, isn’t it?
For 5 floors, there sure aren’t alot of pictures.
Try the sixth time
Meh. Nearly $3m and then you still have to reno? Meh.
I rather buy 4 houses this size in Bedford Stuyvesant
In comparison to yesterdays HOTD in Boerum Hill this kicks ass…two more floors, fronting the park, and no gut renovation to complete.
Having said that, that price is so 2006.
for this money, would rather be in the north slope.
sorry, but true.
