Holy Cow! The owner of 315 Garfield Place in Park Slope wants to party like it’s early 2007. The oversized brownstone (it weighs in at about 6,700 square feet) admittedly looks flawless, but we can’t quite get our arms around the asking price of $8,500,000. According to DOB filings, the seller started renovating the one-family house a month after purchasing it in October 2006 for $3,275,550. (The application cites a project cost of just $75,000, but it’s common practice to understate this number.) Still, the market now can’t be any higher than it was two years ago, and the seller’s looking to get a mark-up of more than $5 million. Huh?

  1. The Fed asked Goldman and JPMorgan to lead the $80B loan to AAIG. For this they will throw them a bone. Fed will reduce rates tomorrow.

    Goldman owns $40B in Treasuries…they mad $4B on the rise today in Treasury prices today.

  2. This is looking more and more like black monday to me.
    AIG is slipping away too. The Dow Industrials down 400 points. Dunno.
    there are an awful lot of over-extended thirty-somethings and forty-somethings in the brownstone neighborhoods, especially the pricier ones, who are going to find themselves unemployed and undercapitalized. Most will be bailed out by their families I guess. The rest will have to sell and start over.

  3. Oops- and for my gratuitous comment: Love the house, too much money by half, hate knotty pine and can’t say from the [picture if it’s original or not but it looks too modern to me and the fireplace looks like it was modernized. But that’s just my impression from the pictures.

    From the web site “a library paneled with rare patterned wood.”
