House of the Day: 106 Park Place
When we included 106 Park Place as an Open House Pick back in January, it had just been listed at $2,850,000. A month later the asking price was reduced to $2,725,000. A month after that—in mid-March—the price came down again to its current level of $2,495,000. This still seems like a lot of dough in…

A month after that—in mid-March—the price came down again to its current level of $2,495,000. This still seems like a lot of dough in this market for a 16.67-foot-wide house that traded for just $1,300,000 in 2006. The four-story house still has some very nice original detail in it, but it’s a far cry from some of the jaw-droppers that have been on the market in Park Slope recently for not a whole lot more than this.

The really bad news for me is I didn’t realize there are two colors…
i hadn’t realized hellen keller was so interested in brownstone brooklyn.
If *he* logs in, will that cause everyone *else’s* posts to appear in dark type?
You are an idiot.
try logging in. that helps with the type.
This is a first! Now readers are complaining about “faded type”!!!
Love it, love it, love it.
At least 95% of the posts on this site are from people who’re logged in as “guest”. This means that someone reading the comments on this site will be reading almost everything in faded type. Now, I understand why the faded type is used for “guests”. However, in my opinion it’s not worth it.
The faded type is clearly legible, but over the long haul it is more fatigue-inducing than regular, darker type. So, Mr. B, do you really want to condemn your readership to slogging through so much faded type?
Just a thought. Again, I do understand why the faded type was introduced. I just don’t think it’s worth it. You’re shooting yourself in the foot (and inducing eyestrain in your readers) as things currently stand.
If they bought this for 1.3 in 2006 (which sounds very low based on my ongoing search for the last few years), my guess is that they already did do a gut, and certainly the photos make it look like it’s move-in. Granted, they made some strange lay-out choices. I agree that it would be much better to have bathrooms in the middle and either extra big bedrooms on either side, or else split the sides into a med size bedroom and very small bedroom(or office). But if they did not redo the mechanicals and basically spruce up the rest of the interior, this asking price is absurd.
i also don’t love the layout of the bedroom floors. i don’t get why, with a narrow-but-long house, you’d opt to put bathrooms running the length instead of the width. i’m sure all the walk-in closets are nice, but i think i’d prefer ease of access to the bathroom over ease of access to my sweaters, especially if the consequence is a couple extra-narrow bedrooms.
3:25, how do you know this needs a gut? from the pics or you’ve seen the house?
Yeah, what’s up with the exterior? Hard to tell from the photos but is all the brownstone basically gone?
