If the owner of this FSBO offering at 95 Devoe Street isn’t a professional stylist or interior designer, she should think about a career change. As far as we can tell, she’s taken a relatively unremarkable Williamsburg row house and turned it into a charming home ready for a magazine shoot. And for her work, it’s looking like she’ll make some money. The four-story, two-family house was purchased for $640,000 in 2004, according to public records. The asking price now? $1,700,000. The owner is listing it herself but offering a 2.5% fee to brokers who bring a buyer to the table. We’ll confess to not being too up on the comps for this area. It’s gotta be on the very high end, but then again it’s probably a lot nicer than most of the houses that come to market around here.

i think that this is a nice place in a solid neighborhood in a good school district (both grade and middle school!). it’s convenient and quiet, and there are tons of amenities. if you like it, buy it. offer less even. if not, don’t worry about it.
The staging or decoration looks great but one is not purchasing the cute modernist rocking chair or the furniture. One would be getting some white sheetrocked walls and vinyl for 1.7.
They’re not happy making an extra 500k, say? they have to try for over a million? I just have to believe there’s a special waiting room in Hell for real estate gougers.
why does brownstoner always turn into a argument between different neighborhoods’ residents? isn’t it tiring to come on here and post anonymously trashing someone else’s home? i guess the good news for everyone is that no one is forcing you to move to another neighborhood. so people from prospect heights and williamsburg can rest assured they won’t run into one another in each others’ hood. its a shame that we have to interact on the internet – discouraging results.
3:15 – dude – you sound like a racist. black people don’t want to be around ghetto people either! duh! have you heard Chris Rock’s comedy, for instance???
anyway, i personally would like to be as far away from ghetto people (goes for any gang member of any color, don’t care!) as possible. i have been held up, harassed, and attacked. thanks, but no thanks.
the ghetto mentality can’t be fought, just because you want everybody to hold hands and sing songs.
get real.
5:30 #1, I’m not a “Sloper” if you were referring to me…just happen to love the neighborhood.
5:31, amazing home indeed. Just gorgeous and right on PPW. I can understand one wanting to live in Manhattan, but I could never figure out the charm of that particular area of Tribeca, i.e., right by the highway and with so few amenities, trees, etc. And $7MM for that loft? Ok, didn’t mean to rehash the Jennifer Connelly thread – she can afford to live pretty much wherever she wants and good luck to her.
The front door of this house looks like it belongs on a tool shed. The little cheapey ironwork on the stoop looks like it belongs on a 1960’s ranch house. The windows have lost their sills and lintels, there is no cornice, the clapboards are painted dark gray. It’s a disater.
“i like prospect heights and clinton hill but anyone who says this location is gross should move to the UWS.”
word.
I agree Biff. I have no idea why she traded in that amazing house for the cheap looking loft on the highway.
To each his/her own.
The upside is that someone new will be able to live in that beautiful PPW house and call it their own.
5:07 – please! most of williamsburg is entirely isolated from the ghetto (just not the really far south or far east). PH ghetto thugs own every other corner.
