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…

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.

What: You complain about this site but you are always posting here. Go get a job.
On a separate topic, do you think the What drinks? There’s such a wild variation in tone and grammar to his postings, which suggests a little tipple here and there to me.
Based on the, er, detail of the brick buildings next door — there are several — I think they were built in the 70s, maybe early 80s? They are pretty contextual, albeit on the cheap. Still, people are snobbish about living next to Section 8 housing… I agree with Mr. B. No way, no how for that price.
Can I do my re-ups from the abandonned house next door?
Fort greene is full of section 8 housing right next to million dollar houses.
thats section 8 housing next door
Based on rent roll and recent market weakness, this place will sell for 1.4M tops.
Yeah, I’d only buy it if I could also buy the building next door – so I could reno it so this one wouldn’t be next to that empty one. It’s not gonna sell ’til the other one does.
Glad that’s it’s close to the liquor store … that should help the price.
