House of the Day: 41 Howard Place
While this house at 41 Howard Place in Windsor Terrace is far from a steal on a per square foot basis, we suspect its charm and (relatively) unimposing price tag of $1,350,000 will lure a buyer fairly quickly. (That, and the bragging rights of your block having been featured in a Jack Nicholson movie.) Another…
While this house at 41 Howard Place in Windsor Terrace is far from a steal on a per square foot basis, we suspect its charm and (relatively) unimposing price tag of $1,350,000 will lure a buyer fairly quickly. (That, and the bragging rights of your block having been featured in a Jack Nicholson movie.) Another reason for optimism: the almost identical 19 Howard Place sold for $1,370,000 last September.

THE OnE
I live in WT and walk buy these houses everyday. While I think the price is quite high, I have a feeling it’ll go fairly quickly and for near asking. I’ve seen my share of these “small” houses in my hood go quickly… and yes, even in todays market, this will be no exception.
THE OnE
Friends of mine made it to the end of the bidding war on the first Howard house and are still heartbroken that they didn’t get it. It was apparently owned by a couple of Scandanavian designers, the renovation was pristine and the details unbelievable. Taking away the ludicracy of comparing prices from before the credit crisis, to say a similar house sold for the same amount is a flat out lie. I hate when people rag on you when you created this site we all enjoy, but I must say, sometimes you really do sound like a broker. In this market, if they get in the 900s they’ll be lucky.
11:19 AM, but would it get you the same quality of public school?
The comparison that boggles me is not WT and Kensington/Ditmas but btwn WT & South Slope.
Uggg. that price is pretty shocking. We’ve been looking for a while and it really seems as though prices in WT aren’t moving or going up, when the rest of Brooklyn is beginning to inch down. totally agree about the white trash garden–that concrete must get baking in the summer.
It’s Mrs. Limestone’s fault for WT prices so high…LOL
The broker site says:
According to The Brooklyn Daily
Eagle, these “Top ‘O Brooklyn” (highest ground in the borough)…
I thought Sunset Park was the highest point in Brooklyn. Even parts of Greenwood Cemetery seem much higher than Howard Place. Am I wrong?
ain’t no one gonna pay $1.5 mill for that Betancourt house – it manages to be the only ugly house on that pretty block, as well as being small etc. If I could pay $1.5 mill for my small single family home, I’d be looking in Park Slope.
I think WT sellers are having delusions of grandeur…this is not the moment to be jacking up prices in your nabe. Predict lowest sales volume ever for WT in 2008.
another agency — Betancourt? — has one of these identical houses, from what i can tell, for $1.5 million. riddle me that, batman.
