House of the Day: 293 Prospect Place
Great block, pretty nice house but not cheap. That’s our quick take on 293 Prospect Place in Prospect Heights. The four-story, two-family house has been renovated in a slightly unusual but interesting aesthetic. As evidenced by the bedroom, there’s still lots of historic charm left. But still, $2,295,000 for a 3,200-square-foot place in Prospect Heights…

293 Prospect Place [Corcoran] GMAP P*Shark
Nothing new here folks: nice house but narrow as dibs pointed out and price is Corcoranized i.e. massively inflated. The garden is awesome but I agree with wasder this place should be priced around $1.8m max.
LM in terms of location PH and PLG are that different unfortunately.
If this were wider…but I really like what they’ve done inside. I suspect that eliminating some of the details (which may not have been worth salvaging) gives it an airier, wider feel, and the exposed brick gives you 3-4″ extra. 2.2? I agree that someone would have to love it at that price, but taking a look at the sales in today’s other posts, there are still some buyers out there…
I may be mistaken, but the lots here may be 117′-deep, like those on Prospect btw. Vanderbilt and Carlton. I think this will sell very close to ask. There’s a glut of buyers who want a townhouse and don’t want to think about renovations. And this place looks pretty frickin’ good.
FYI….lot is 16′-6″ X 102′
Beautifully done and a nice garden. Looks really narrow though. Also, at that price, you’re probably going to be signficantly subsidizing your garden level renter, unless you’re thinking the one bedroom is going to offset more than $2500 of your $10K monthly mortgage interest payment (plus heating, maintenance, etc.). That said, it’s a beatufil renovated house, and so it will find a buyer, probably around the 1.7 – 1.9 range.
I guess we’re sure as hell in a depression with those estimates for GDP growth.
What…we’re all OK with you posting on the broader topics of discussion but stay off of the HOTD with this top-down crap of yours.
I can’t see why Asshats still want to buy overpriced housing. This POS is not in Park Slope! That’s where you can get 2 million plus for your house. But storm clouds are on the horizon.
Federal budget deficit to remain near $400 billion, CBO says
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — With the economy weakening and spending on the war rising, the federal government’s budget deficit is expected to more than double this year compared with last year, the Congressional Budget Office estimated Tuesday. The federal deficit is projected to hit $407 billion in the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30 (compared with $161 billion in 2007) and to remain near $400 billion in 2009 and 2010, around 3% of gross domestic product. In its summer budget update, the CBO said the economy will likely grow 1.5% this year and 1.1% next year. In the long-run, the nonpartisan budget office said, “the federal budget is on an unsustainable path.”
You see dumbfucks Government borrowing is going to get expensive! Higher rates, higher taxes, lower property values. I’m the manic?! Yep keep dreming….
The What
Someday this war is gonna end….
I noticed that the listing says there is a half bath on the parlor floor. Would like to see where they jammed it in.
I wish there was a floorplan. Imo, these narrow houses can be really difficult to renovate for today’s living — no room for closets or parlor floor powder rooms, which I would expect at that price. I like the look of the renovation from the photos but Jessica is big-time workin’ the wide angle lense. This house is narrow. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think houses selling near that price in prime PH have been closer to 20 ft wide. One on that block priced around 2 mil sat on the market for quite awhile recently. I know it wasn’t as polished, but still.
