House of the Day: 162 Bergen Street
We’re not sure how we’ve managed to not discuss 162 Bergen Street yet, given that it’s been on the market since October of last year. Despite not selling for more than six months, the price has remained constant at $2,300,000. While hardly a give-away, we’re actually a little surprised that there hasn’t been one buyer…
We’re not sure how we’ve managed to not discuss 162 Bergen Street yet, given that it’s been on the market since October of last year. Despite not selling for more than six months, the price has remained constant at $2,300,000. While hardly a give-away, we’re actually a little surprised that there hasn’t been one buyer out there who’s fallen in love and been willing to meet the ask. After all, this place has tons o’ charm and is in a hot location. What’s the catch? Does it need more work than the photos suggest?

We live in Boerum Hill (6 yrs now) but are moving out of area (probably to Queens). Boerum hill is a great area. The only reason we are moving is schools. Private is just too much.. and prices have gone up so much, we are priced out.
Beams in a brownstone!
All of you with your hysteria about projects are pretty pathetic. The boerum hill projects are simply NOT dangerous. I know they once were, but everyone feels and is completely safe in BH now, and some of the prettiest blocks in BOCOCA are there.
“Park Slope is not near the projects right? Well what do you call all Of Eastern Parkway?”
Eastern Parkway. There may be projects waaayyyy down near the end in ENY, but there aren’t any near Park Slope. Unless you are inferring that any building with black people living in it is a project. In which case, please go back to Idaho.
I have a 790 FICO 20 percent down and a stable income. You cant get a 1.5 million fixed 30 year for under 7 percent. Maybe one of those ghetto 7 year interest only ARM’s for 5.7-6 but if that is what you need to afford it you have no business buying a brownstone. You have to wonder what will happen to all the people who cant refi when the ARM comes up and were depending on the value to go up in order to do so.
I used to live at Smith near Bergen (F train) in Carroll Gardens and I used to live near Berkeley and 7th (2/3 or Q Train) in Park Slope.
By far, the shorter commute to Manhattan was from Park Slope.
I suppose if you live in South Slope the commute is longer, but certainly not anywhere near the north.
Now I live in Manhattan so it’s a non issue.
Agree 5:03…who wants to travel on the F train for so long…Boerum Hill has the A which is a much better service.
Back on topic now!!!!
3:23 I am with you. Great Area BOCOCA is. Park Slope is Nice But i Like being Closer to Manhattan.
The best I can add at this point is
Liar, Liar your pants are on fire!
The projests discussion is worn out people….drop it..
