House of the Day: 160 Bond Street
Another Boerum Hill townhouse for under $2 million! This one’s a little wider than last week’s Fried Green Tomatoes special, but, at 1,440 square feet, hardly palatial. (It’s also interesting that the listing broker is Benjamin James. Since when are they in the Brownstone Brooklyn market?) Anyway, this place is cute, but lacks any knocks-your-socks-off…

With an asking price of $1,495,000, it’s also gunning to clear the $1,000-per-square-foot mark. Seems ambitious, but there are still a lot of folks out there dying to own a house in Boerum Hill these days, so it’s not impossible.

I rent in one of the smaller 3-story buildings along Wyckoff, around the corner. I just had to respond to 1:39. It’s really not that loud.
Rarely am I kept awake by radios, gunshots, house parties or any social customs as depicted on the 80’s mild-hit comedy series “227”.
It’s only car alarms, the scourge of man, like everywhere else in this mangy burg.
Real screenwriters drink whiskey.

The listing broker lives in the nabe.

Its a 1/2 block from The Gowanus Houses, its another two blocks from the scarier Wyckoff Houses.
The Gowanus Houses, while not ideal, ain’t that bad.
I went to the open house last weekend and was blown away by this house. It is in great condition and extremely family friendly while being perfect for entertaining. While it may not be huge, the layout really maximizes the square footage. The garden is to die for in itself. I think it will definitely fetch asking price at least.
Gotta watch the 3 story vs 4 story home prices in BH.
There are many shorter 3 story homes in the area. This looks like one of them.
In 2004, the average 3 story was around 1 – 1.1M and the 4 stories were in the 1.4 -1.6 range. Don’t ask how low the prices were in 1994.
My point: 1.5M for a 3 story that is 1/2 block from Wyckoff PJs is a total rip-off.

Oooh! I’ve been to a party there, and come away with severe home envy. If I recall correctly the back dining room has some pretty intense window action and looks out into the garden.
Want.
across street sold for $1.25 and up at next corner sold for $1.725
Regarding the size, Property Shark’s info on the square footage is wrong. The actual number is 2267. The house is built 20’x30′ on three floors plus a 12’x17′ extension on two floors (and a little extra on the garden.) So that’s just under $660 a square foot. And the garden is pretty knock-your-socks-off.
