House of the Day: 1252 Dean Street
If this detail-rich house at 1252 Dean Street looks familiar, it’s because it was featured as a House of the Day in two years ago. At that point, it had just been listed at $1,100,000, a price that proved to be too rich for the market’s blood; after the price was dropped to $990,000 in…
If this detail-rich house at 1252 Dean Street looks familiar, it’s because it was featured as a House of the Day in two years ago. At that point, it had just been listed at $1,100,000, a price that proved to be too rich for the market’s blood; after the price was dropped to $990,000 in September, the house sold quickly for asking. Now it’s back on the market for an mind-boggling $1,375,000 and, as far as we can tell, there have been no significant improvements. Good luck with that.

House of the Day: 1252 Dean Street [Brownstoner]
The Ardor site lists the house as in Bed Stuy, then goes on to twice mention the house is “located in Crown Heights,” once going so far as to say the street is “one of the most sought-after residential blocks in Crown Heights” (which might be true).
Regardless, compared the street scene Lisa used a few days ago, this is a far more representative example of the type of house found in Crown Heights.
It’s not gonna sell but it sure is pretty.
thanks brooklynlove for the sanity check!
the pix and kitchen are the least of their problems. the market is the real issue.
don’t know why we’re even discussing this house. . . it’s not going to sell and we all know it
another example of dark, out-of-focus photos doing damage to a listing. the house may be a beauty, but it takes some imagination to get there from the pics.
I am pretty sure the brokers know where this house is, they are just being douchy. Have you ever noticed Prudential lists most of their BedStuy listings as Clinton Hill?
The house is lovely (although personally not my style) and I would have rather designed my own kitchen and paid 200k less for a 15/20k job. I think the tag is a bit steep for Crown Heights. The hood, while beautiful in parts, is just not quite there in terms on amenities and polish to warrant that price in this market.
the “modern kitchen” design seems oddly out of place with the rest of the house.
Nice details and the house overall is very good. The location is okay but price is way unrealistic. This price even with renovations is a simple fantasy but i guess one can always dream…
940K mortgage. this is going to be a short sale.
Broker lists this as being in Bedford Stuyvesant. I hate when brokers don’t even know what neighborhood the house is in, or for that matter know anything about the neighborhood.
990K 2 years ago when the getting was good…what makes them think they can get 1.3. Delusion.
