Did anyone make it to the open house at 520 11th Street last weekend? The three-story brick house has lots of character on the inside but it is only three stories and not in the ritziest part of Park Slope. As a result, we’re hard pressed to see how anyone’s going to cough up the $2,250,000 asking price for this baby. Waddya think?

  1. I live in an identical house a block away. So clearly it’s priced to move and I can’t imagine it going for less than full ask 😉

    Outside dimensions are 20 by probably 45. So roughly 2700 square feet. Lot size looks short though. Tough to tell from skimpy pics. Is the apartment on the bottom? If so, no garden access from the upper duplex or is a deck hidden somewhere?

    A very well restored 1 fam in need of new kitchen and 3rd floor bathroom went for 1.9 late last year. This looks to be in not quite as good shape.

  2. I like South Slope, but using Union Market to justify a massively inflated price tag is just silly. I feel that the people chiming in about how Union Market is proof that the South Slope has “arrived” have a vested interest in pumping up the real estate values, but having a grocery store nearby is simply not worth several 100K!! This place is a overpriced by a minimum of 400-500K – should someone buy it even close to ask, I suspect they will regret it….

  3. This IS in fact really overpriced, I’ve been in the neighborhood looking at houses the past year (closing on a house which is roughly 150 sq ft smaller end of this month, 2 blocks away that is more than a million cheaper) and judging by recent comps, it’s about 1 million over. I wonder how Brownstoner picks these houses of the day. It would be great if they could actually feature decently priced ones. By featuring something this overpriced, it is free advertising and promotion of sellers’ overblown expectations.

  4. we used to live three houses up from this place. the sellers are crazy with greed. this is literally almost next door to a fire station and you would hear sirens going by your door pretty much every single night. leaving aside any considerations about the condition of the house itself, that fact would warrant a pretty major discount, at least in my book. it is a small three story house.

    I don’t believe for a minute that the sellers have an offer anywhere near asking price.

  5. I think this is ~5-400K overpriced depending on the condition (which you can’t really tell). But there is no way this should be listed at $1.2M . . . maybe 5-6 yrs ago but it hasn’t gotten that bad out there yet.
