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…

(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 features. 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.

That agent looks like such a sweetie.
It’s nice to know that BH’s crack culture continues in its real estate prices.
1:53, you are completely off base. I believe that a Riesling on the patio table.

The Wyckoff house that recently sold (see nancy mckiernan RE) was, I think, a bit larger. I believe the lot was larger too. The wyckoff st house also faced south getting light all day, the Bond St. House faces West & East. I’m sure it gets decent light.
Also, this house is not far from the subway at all. Its about 6 minutes from the F train; 6 from the A/E lines; 10 from the 2/3 lines and the N/R lines; Its a bit further to the 4/5 lines. Distance to subways is not a factor here!
IMHO the “Fried Green” house is a better deal.

Thanks 1:53, I think we wouldn’t have understood it without your translation.
1.495 seems a real stretch at this location for a relatively small house — it is closer to the projects (for better or worse) and Bond at Wyckoff is a little further from subway lines.
I think the houses on Wyckoff near this price were larger — have any gone for $1.5?
“A lot of people in the area are apparently very hard of hearing and play their radios extremely loudly. For music lovers, that is a plus!”
white liberal translation: the projects are 2 blocks away. The black folks play their car radios loud during summer months while youre sipping Chardonnay in the back yard trying to finish your screenplay.
This pad has had open houses in two weekends.
This house, while small, has had extensive renovations done by the prior owner. And considering that a house around the corner on Wyckoff sold for close to this price, we may see it get close to the ask.
Warning to potential buyers, it can get loud, particularly in the summer. A lot of people in the area are apparently very hard of hearing and play their radios extremely loudly. For music lovers, that is a plus!
