House of the Day: 210 Prospect Place

Talk about a make-over! If you click through and check out the “before” photo of 210 Prospect Place in Prospect Heights, you’ll barely recognize the “after” photo above. From what we can tell from the interior photos, the renovation succeeded in maintaining the historical architectural elements in the house while infusing it with a clean, modern feel. (For some reason, we don’t mind the recessed lighting in the kitchen either!) The one-family house is also on one of the nicest block in Prospect Heights. As nice as it is, do you think that you can get $2,495,000 for a 3,600-square-foot house on this side of Flatbush?

Mr Joist the problem is you would NOT find that kind of place (the before) anymore in Prospect height for that sort of price range. Believe me I’ve been looking for a while and the closest thing was the place next door 211 Prospect place and that sold for $1.5M plus it needed much more work by far. And even though prices are trending down in RE renovation costs are going up with gas prices. So yes $2.5m is a ton of dough but that is what this place will sell for @ the minimum. Heck with the cool staging it would not surprise me one bit if it goes for higher… belle masion mon chere
Dave, you scoundrel, you. Did they have dry t-shirt contests in Evanston?
dittoburg…a dry town is even worse. I went to grad school in Evanston, IL…home of the Women’s Christian Temperance League….arrggghhh
Mr Joist makes a really good point on any of these high end renovations. You could easily find places; in a neighborhood that more suits your needs, which are in need of renovation and then spend the $500-800,000 yourself ang get EVERYTHING that you want. The worst thing is paying up for a place where they’ve spent lots of money on a high end kitchen or bath and you still feel you want to rip it out and do it to your tastes.
BTW Mr Joist, can we call you Floor?
Thanks.
A dry bar sounds no fun.
Yes Biff, perhaps “cynical” would have been a better word to describe that comment.
I think having any kind of a visible bar setup in a really nice high end parlour setting is so 60s or 70s…I’m sure they have them on that new TV show “Swingtown”
A bit off topic but along the same line of thinking, are there any bars left in Brooklyn that have wet T shirt contests?
wet bar has a water supply (basin/faucet).
No doubt this is a great renovation and it’s perfectly staged but I think we’re getting caught-up with the cool “stuff” (furniture, art, etc.) in the house and with the miraculous transformation.
Look past that and I don’t think it’s worth $2.5MM. Plus, no pictures of yard, top floor or any baths are suspect. Kitchen is also not high-end for the price-point. That said, a 75′ deep yard would be sweeeet.
If I had that kind of cash, I would buy another place like the “before” picture for $1.2MM or so and spend ~$800k for my own version of this for sub-$2MM.
dittoburg, basically a wet bar includes a sink with running water. A plain old bar does not.
