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.

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?

Doh! Thanks, Sam.
Yes, Miss Muffett…I saw those too. When these fall below $2MM, I’d gladly take a few hundred thousand loss on my Bed Stuy place to snatch one up. No schools necessary and I will never take the F train either.
Hey Stoner, if you are going to write about this sort of thing you have to get your architectural styles right. This house is not even remotely Greek Revival, it is Neo-Grec. Big difference.
Just FYI.

Corcoran has just started slashing prices on a number of brownstones. A prime limestone practically at the park was cut from 2.995 to 2.59. The HOTD from a few weeks back, on 8th Avenue, was cut from 2.595 to 2.29. Hundreds of thousands of dollars cut in a matter of days (too rushed now to get the links but I’d happily furnish them if you can’t find). This trend will continue. These properties that were slashed were “prime” and this house is a bit less so if the owners care about public school (it’s in District 13 and not the more desirable District 15). While the standard line is that folks buying these homes don’t care about public school, that’s changing with economic uncertainty. All to say, needs a price cut.
Big difference between 4th Street and Lincoln Place, NYC87. Lincoln Place is 3 blocks from the Q train (which is 4 stops to Union Square) and a block and a half from the 2/3 train (15 mins to Wall Street).
As much as I love PS, I would NEVER live anywhere where the F train was my only option. I did it for a year and hated it. I feel MUCH more connected to Manhattan living in the North part of Park Slope. It makes all the difference in the world to know you can hop on a train and be at Union Square in 15 minutes.
Why are there now two ads for Jessica over there>>>>>
With two pictures of the before love handles?????
For this price, you get more bang for your buck with the 4th street limestone also listed by Corcoran.
I’m just curious for those of you that own homes in the more “fringe” neighborhoods of the Brownstone Belt:
Are any of you watching falling prices in the more prime areas and considering making the move? I’d think this would be a complicated question as it would be tough to sell, but if I had spent 2 million on a house in outer Clinton Hill 2 years ago and now saw one here in prime Park Slope for 2.5, I’d seriously consider it, if I thought I could sell…
Is this the case for anyone?
gorgeous, except that bathroom looks like it caught something from the bordello.
whats with the low seats / high counter in the kitchen unless you like lapping soup like a pussycat?
