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?

I just called the realtor also as I really like the look of this place.
I can say that Dave speaks the truth.
Seems there is more than one party already interested.
Not surprising. This place looks GORGEOUS.
St. Johns between 5th and 6th ave is mostly public housing. It just looks like a row of brownstones.
Also Sunset Park has no projects same with Bay Ridge.
2:35…read my 2:31 comment
There was originally a contract on this house months ago. It fell through and just went back on the market.
I was wondering why the furniture was so ugly, 2:31.
Now that I know it was of a renters “collection” it makes a little more sense…
“funny how all those defending the projects live nearby.”
2:25 pm – by inference, we should discount those opinions, perhaps trust those who don’t live near a NYCHA building, and therefore have no idea?
400,000 New Yorkers live in 2,600 NYCHA buildings. Do they have leprosy?
2:31…tell us more. he couldn’t have evicted you if he wasn’t on firmer legal ground.
I saw this house at an open house months ago. It went into contract soon after. Obviously, the contract fell through–wonder why? House needs a lot of work, rickety stairs, tiny, tiny extension kitchen, needs all new bathrooms, plaster repair, etc.
Ahem, perhaps the reason this house didn’t sale for 6 months is because the British owner was busy evicting the current tenants. I had been living there with a group of great people for a very long time. It was an ugly process forcing us to move. The guy who had the lease had been living there for more than 15 years and had taken care of the property while the owner sat in London and collected a hefty rent. It was a group of international artists, photographers, a teacher, dancers, living there. It’s sad to see this area subject to further gentrification. I’m sure a trader or trust fund baby will find it as lovely a place to live as we did.
ps: it hurts to see my furniture used in their advertising pic. boohoo.
