House of the Day: 52 Fort Greene Place
Someone didn’t get the memo that pie-in-the-sky asking prices have no place in today’s market. At least we know where to send it: 52 Fort Greene Place. If this four-story house were on a better block or was more compelling in terms of its historical authenticity, then the asking price of $2,250,000 would make more…
Someone didn’t get the memo that pie-in-the-sky asking prices have no place in today’s market. At least we know where to send it: 52 Fort Greene Place. If this four-story house were on a better block or was more compelling in terms of its historical authenticity, then the asking price of $2,250,000 would make more sense. But this is one of the less attractive blocks in the area (nice try cropping that facade photo!) and this house, while not devoid of original details, doesn’t pack a strong enough punch to justify this price in this market. Sorry, ain’t gonna happen.
52 Fort Greene Place [Corcoran] GMAP P*Shark
not sure how the brokers get 4,660 sf. based on the floorplan it looks like around 4,000, given that the top floor only looks around 35 feet deep and the rear extension is only around half the width of the house. that raises the price/sf to over $550
65 deep is problematic. If the adjoining buildings are the same length, you end up with two rooms with no windows. Lots of rooms, but only 1 real bedroom unless you move the kitchen from the back where they were always put, into one of the interior windowless rooms.
4.04 – 300 to 400K less than asking is a significant difference. It is still expensive, no doubt, but is overpriced for the block and condition of the interior from the pics.
65 feet deep would be amazing. too bad it isn’t
sold to 4:04pm. lets move on now
This is not a BAD block. It’s a three minute walk to the Connecticut muffin shout out above. It’s also not overpriced. 65 Feet Deep is incredible. There is condo potential or very deep rentals with a nice owner duplex. Who can beat that? Honestly, this is not a bad deal and I have no affiliation with the neighborhood (I live in South Slope) or the realtor. You won’t see this on the market for long. It might go for $1.850,000-1.900,000 but that’s not a huge difference from 2 Million. The only bad thing about this listing is the neighbor. But, it won’t stop a sale.
“This less than prime block area of Ft. Greene will become even more valuable as more affluent condo owners, shoppers, services flood the area.”
You lost me on this one. If more services come to the area, then the prime blocks will become more sought no?
Why are they selling?
Look at those floor plans. How much would they go for as condos?
I don’t think so overpriced for asking.
