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?

They should get an award for the renovation of that exterior.
I won’t say too much, except that she was the broker for the seller.
Luckily I had my own wonderful broker, and found a much better apartment! But I hate that she wasted my time.
bkheightscoop, what was your experience with the broker? I should add that: 1) she was helping me as a buyer and 2) I ended up finding a place on my own eventually. So, I didn’t mean to imply I would recommend or endorse her necessarily on the sell-side or that she’s an exceptional broker, just that she was a lot nicer to deal with than others. As it happens, the broker I used when I sold my last place was the opposite; quite aggressive and abrasive, but extremely competent!
wasder, fair point.
it’s lovely, if not that inspired. not that everything needs to be inspired or inspiring – i prefer to add my personal touches through decor rather than architecture and i bet a lot of buyers do, too. i would prefer the kitchen and dining on the parlor level, but reasonable minds can differ on that. i think they’ll have no problem getting their price and then some. it seems fairly priced, in line with the comps and taking into consideration reno costs.
what does it mean to have the OH on a weekday afternoon? trying to minimize the nosy neighbor factor?
Fair enough, Harriet.
I agree that Vanderbilt is pretty awesome these days also…
Dude, where’s da bong?
Ya know, I’m not being completely serious. Maybe I love Prospect Heights too much? Is that possible? In any case, I really hope nobody uses my post as a negotiating tool.
There are apartments on Prospect Place going for about $800,000, and if you multiply that by four, this might hypothetically seem vaguely reasonable.
But I guess my serious point is that it might get the asking price. Not everyone is hurting in this economy, and there are a lot of really strong positives to the house, not just the quality of the reno, but it’s location is pretty fantastic. A lot of people love the way that Vanderbilt Avenue is heading, and it’s really close to Prospect Park the B/Q and the 2/3. The block is getting landmarked, and this sort of project may be the last of its kind on Prospect Place.
Biff–I agree that there are one families that are “worth” this but I would guess that the pool of potential buyers for such a house is radically smaller now than a few years ago. I don’t think this is a case of pie in the sky pricing because it is a truly spectacular renovation but it may not fetch the price just because of market conditions.
Snark–yes its a four story. My mistake. But the top and garden floors are quite a bit lower in ceiling height than the floors on more traditionally laid out four floor houses. But that is a minor point. Its a great looking house.
It’ll get ask, probably over ask. That house via B,Q is less than 30 minutes to midtown.
Corcoran is showing another of their listings on this same block ,slightly smaller hose, as In Contract with asking price just slightly less. For what it’s worth.
