House of the Day: 1094 Park Place
This beauty at 1094 Park Place in Crown Heights caught our eye as an Open House Pick last fall when it was on the market with Corcoran for $1,395,000. It didn’t find any takers at that price back then, and it’s now being reoffered by Massey Knakal for $1,200,000. While that’s still a lot of…

This beauty at 1094 Park Place in Crown Heights caught our eye as an Open House Pick last fall when it was on the market with Corcoran for $1,395,000. It didn’t find any takers at that price back then, and it’s now being reoffered by Massey Knakal for $1,200,000. While that’s still a lot of dough for a house in Crown Heights in this market, at least it’s in move-in condition. And while some of the new kitchen finishes aren’t exactly to our liking, you won’t be lacking for cold storage space! And the covered driveway ain’t too shabby either.

11217 – you don’t seriously believe those numbers, fabricated an manipulated as they are, mean anything whatsoever, do you?
11217, you just did the cyber equivalent of shining a flashlight under a rock.
Sorry, not related, but I had to post this for The What:
“Gross domestic product rose at a 3.3 percent clip in the second quarter, the Commerce Department said, a significant jump over the original estimate of 1.9 percent growth. G.D.P., the broadest measure of the nation’s economic activity, is considered a good barometer of America’s economic health.”
Fascinating house. I’m loving that living room pic in front of the windows. But I’m not sure a Viking fridge and range have ever been placed in an uglier kitchen. Cabinets and counter are lamentable.
dittoburg, 🙂
Are we going to see a new poster with the handle i_haz_TWO_flip-top_garbage_cans?
Townhouselady – I though they were his and hers flip-top garbage cans for the two-toilets-crowd.
Plenty of nice woodwork.
A year or two ago, it didn’t matter if the person “buying” the house could actually afford it. Banks didn’t care. Now they do. People who really want to live in this area can’t afford that price. People who can afford that price, generally don’t want to live there. It will need to come down.
albany houses down the block. decent amount of foreclosures in this immediate area, including yesterday’s foreclosure spotlight. the house is beautiful and the area has promise, but a price shouldn’t reflect future expectations – this is not the stock market. even 900k is pushing the envelope on this place. the seller should be happy with something in the 800s.
The house itself is great and well worth 1.1 – 1.2 million.
However the location is a bit off the beaten path.
I don’t see wealthy young couples flocking there. I may be wrong, and I’m sure I will be awarded a lengthy lecture about how welcoming the block is. still and all, it is way over there.
