95-DEVOE-STREET-0508.jpg
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.

  1. $1.7M in this (and my) neighborhood is beyond over the top. however, to the naysayers: i think your $950K numbers are way too low, as well. tear-downs & fixer-uppers with tenants in place in this neighborhood are asking – and sometimes selling – for near or above $1M.

  2. This is crap. I live on this block and they just finished the renovations, walked by this morning and there was no furniture in the front room, when did they take these pictures this afternoon?

  3. That’s among the best slideshows I’ve seen for a home sale.

    FSBO’s DYI is heads and shoulders above anything Corcoran and the rest can offer on their respective web sites. Note to realty companies: Stop sending out your agents with a $100 digital camera!

  4. Great marketing touch to have a house look so good, particularly when a dog and children live there. My kids rooms will never look that nice and my black lab’s shedded fur would be visible all over that lightly decorated house.

  5. Maybe all those bars of Dr. Bronner’s are included.
    The pictures are pretty, but where’s the floorplans ? A bunch of close ups & groovy angles don’t really accurately show the house.
    Something tells me for 1.7 million you can get something better …

  6. The price is way off. Even with all the Vitra furniture and doodards this place is NOT worth more than $1million. As someone else noted you can get a brownstone in a much nicer hood for $1.7m.

  7. Very nice pictures but to me this is simply showcasing modern minimalist design taste and has very little to do with the actual house. This house is extremely overpriced for a vinyl sided place in a not so interesting hood.
    Good luck to the seller but $1.7m? Sorry not even close folks
