Someone obviously spent a lot of dough fixing up the five-story limestone house at 614 2nd Street in Park Slope. The question is whether they’ll get their money back now that they are trying to sell the place. We wouldn’t bet on it, as the $3,900,000 price tag is a good 20 to 25 percent more than your run-of-the-mill nice brownstone in the area. Of course, this 4,500-square-foot place is more eye-popping than the competition, but despite having some wonderful old detail, the whole thing feels a little overdone to our eye. (We’re loving that master dressing room-with-sink though. Yum.) Anyway, if they get their price, it will be a great vote of confidence for the brownstone market. We shall see.

  1. Gorgeous detail! The built-ins especially, are wonderful. (All mine are gone, so I get wispy over intact interiors.) Stained glass, coffered ceilings, wow.

    This is one of those special places that goes against conventional pricing, comps, etc. It only takes one well heeled period home lover, and it’ll be gone.

  2. 2:07 congrats on the stock answer of the thread. most def not a broker nor would I ever in my lifetime buy/sell a home via a broker. I found my amazing apt for sale on craig’s list. and when i sell you can damn well be sure I’ll list there as well.
