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.

Open House Picks 11/2/07 [Brownstoner]
Here here, Montorse. I hope they get their price or at least close.
I clicked 3 x’s on your post, goldie and it still came up as awesome drivel.
Goldie, this street view thing is awesome! I’m ‘driving’ from my apt. to this house now! Very cool, thx.
Well put MM. It will find it’s buyer and they will be grateful they found the home.
oh please., sam. Get a grip. Brownstoners are a judgmental group and they don’t like changing their opinions. (Sure, includes me as well). But I stand by what I said and I don’t need the likes of you to tell me how to phrase it. Why think differently? Like goldie says, you can google it and lord knows that’s as good as the first hand experience of seeing the neighborhood and meeting its people.
No one has ever said Crown Heights is a perfect neighborhood but the implied eeeewwwwww in so many opinions is ridiculous.
I am well aware of what foreclosures do, Brooklynlove, but comparing a 3 story, 18′ limestone row house to this mansion on a huge lot is stretching the comps, even for the most conservative appraiser. There is only one of these, and is therefore special, unique, and worthy of a different standard of pricing.
Sorry about the repeats in my post. I was cutting and pasting from Word, and I made a boo boo.
Bklynlove, I’m sure the owner of this house will sit on it until doomsday before accepting the insulting offer of 700+K. If they could afford to fix it up in the high end manner that they did, they aren’t that hungry. No one would say that about a house in Park Slope.
“Those words: never set foot in….bring a lot of meaning with them.
Why have people not set foot there? is it too distant? no.
Is it difficult to get there? no.
Is it considered unsafe and unsavory? bingo!”
I don’t know why I feel I have to answer such nonsense, but here goes – the only thing unsavory is the constant assertion that this neighborhood is the 8th level of hell. It is not. But, if you want to think so, please by all means, continue to do so. That way those who choose to buy this house, or any other, will be able to so without the price tags associated with “better” neighborhoods, and laugh all the way to the bank. Quite safely, I might add.
you know, on the plus side, if you click “+” 3times on the google map above and move a little to the right, the Albany Houses look awesome from above!!!
bxgrl, youre right, i dont know this area as i havent been in it b/c there’s nothing to draw me there…i.e. no reason or place to hang out. just going by experiences with parks in nicer places. i cant imagine this one feeling much safer at night.
cobblehiller – its a church. streetview on google will give everyone a nice little free tour of many neighborhoods w/o having to make a potentially wasted trip. the immediate streets look fine.
