House of the Day: 141 Lincoln Place
Located across the street from the bordello-turned-condo, 141 Lincoln Place is a Greek Revival Neo Grec brownstone that just hit the market with a price tag of $2,595,000. The recently renovated two-family house has the added bonus of sitting on an extra deep lot. (We wish they’d included a photo of the garden!) Anyway, the…
Located across the street from the bordello-turned-condo, 141 Lincoln Place is a Greek Revival Neo Grec brownstone that just hit the market with a price tag of $2,595,000. The recently renovated two-family house has the added bonus of sitting on an extra deep lot. (We wish they’d included a photo of the garden!) Anyway, the asking price is definitely less than it would have been six months or a year ago, but whether it’s low enough to move remains to be seen. What do you think?

Back in the day ‘named streets’ used to be more desirable than ‘numbered streets’. Too close to the South Slope. lol. Then again who thought 5th Avenue would be more desirable than 7th?
To 11217:
Young families who are buying into the neighborhood who don’t have kids prefer to be somewhere with a good school in case they have kids!!
Can’t argue with that logic.
I agree with you on that Cwbuechler!
While I’m not necessarily opposed to having a kid one day, it’s definitely not on my radar right now and I thoroughly enjoy the child-less life!!
It’s terrific!
But isn’t the prime candidate to buy a house like this a family? And thus, wouldn’t they care about school, esp when private school is so expensive and the economy is shaky? I agree that it’s a myth that PS is all families, but I would guess that the vast majority of single/childless residents are in the market for apartments whereas PS townhouses potential buyers are primarily families. Am I wrong?
Have to agree with 11217 on this. The sight of all those yuppie moms wielding their damned McClaren Strollers makes me more than a little edgy.
The awesome thing about never having children is never having to care what school district you’re in.
Well, one of the many awesome things, anyway.
“That’s what makes center Slope more desirable”
It’s not more desirable for those of us who have no children.
Only 24% of Park Slope residents have kids. So your generalities seem to only apply to the minority of the neighborhood.
I don’t want to argue, but you can say it’s more desirable for YOU, but it is not simply more desirable, period.
For me, train access is more desirable than a school which I only visit for a Flea Market.
cwb – you are correct about broker designations in PS, and i too have always found it odd that being closer to the F was somehow “prime”
11217 – i consider North PS prime as well, especially running from 6th ave to PPW. great area to dwell
South of Union Street is P.S. 321 district–North of Union is not.
That’s what makes center Slope more desirable than north Slope
