House of the Day: 614 2nd Street
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…
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.
614 2nd Street [Corcoran] GMAP P*Shark
That ceiling! It’s the same exact one in 590 2nd Street (BHS listing) and that house is still on the market after having been reduced from $3.2 to $2.9.
Hey 2:07 – you a disheartened broker?
Wait!
This is Cororan?
This is in Carroll Gardens?
This place could go for 12.3 mil.
Fuhgeddaboudit!
This house looks pretty gorgeous to me. That ceiling!
Beauty is costly. Clearly priced to the limit, it would be very hard to duplicate at any cost. I hope they get it.
The detail appears to be stunning. 3.9M stunning, I am not so sure.
And what is up with the Corcoran web site’s photos? Every listing I have looked at, the photos are of terrible quality. The Corcoran Group (oh, how elegant they are) should throw some money into a web site that doesn’t suck. And pay a freaking photographer to shoot the interiors—not a Crackberry broker with a $150 digital camera.
Beautiful house. But overpriced. It’s not even 20′ wide and has no yard.
590 2nd Street, a very similar property in size and original detail, and just a few houses over, started out at $3.2 million in November, and is currently at $2.995. They continue to have open houses.
Wow, this place is effin’ gorgeous! Strange how there are no pictures of the kitchen, though; and it’s a pity the sizable interior square footage is at the expense of having a postage stamp-sized garden. Can a price even be put on all that original millwork? My guess is that this is one of those special properties that will find a buyer sufficiently entranced to pay the asking.
Nice house..way over priced.
