House of the Day: 53 South Elliott Street
When we last looked at 53 South Elliott Place, the 3,600-square-foot one-family house in Fort Greene, Corcoran had the listing at $3,700,000. Apparently, the recently renovated house did not sell, since Douglas Elliman has had the listing since last August at an asking price of $3,495,000. There’s no doubt that it’s a gorgeous house, but…

House of the Day: 53 South Elliott Place [Brownstoner]
I’ve been immortalized in poetry. Depression be damned, now I can die happy.
BayRidgeGirl…was that the Royalton or the other one?
They were the thin edge of the wedge in the early 90’s, no? So much has happened since then.
To tell the truth, I have always felt that Ph. Stark is completely overrated…but who am I to judge?
Yes, Everyone, this house will definitely sell. I wouldn’t mind swapping it with ours. I do have to say that I like my idea of a bubble bath tea party or a bathtub full of ice like we did many, many years ago with beer cans/bottles and huge jugs of E&J white wine and Mateus. Those were the days! But I think decent white wine and various sparkly things would better fit this bathroom setting.
IN FACT, they should do it for an open house! It would be considered brilliant.
I wonder if you would want buyers getting smashed at an open house…it happens of course but I wonder if “there’s a law”.
Oh, well. I wish they had hosted the Fort Greene Association holiday party this year. Would have been a smart idea to get the house seen (and dirty)…
3:36 pm post…funny
“Philip Stark”…that’s funny. I didn’t even notice that.
No, wonder the french hate us!
Many years ago, in my heyday, I worked with ‘Philip’ Stark on a hotel renovation, here in NYC.
This house will sell next August for 2.5 million if they’re lucky.
Sellers will keep lowering price every few months in the meantime.
Bravo!
I finally figured out what bugged me so much about the listing…aha! The “Philip Stark” bathroom. Normally I’d be rooting for the sellers to get a good price since they obviously spent a lot on the reno.
But if a) they can’t be bothered to proof read their own listing, or b) they don’t even know who Philippe Starck is, I say, screw them!
Obviously money buys neither taste nor common sense. No way this sells even close to that ask.
Perhaps they’re just “Phil-“istines…
“The barbarians at the brownstone, the philistines on the stoop.
Liquidity’s a memory and credit’s flown the coop…
Maddof’s in jail and everyone’s a dupe
Buyers are broke and will never recoup”
No longer can New Yorkers make money hand over fist
All the Asshats now are lining up to slit their wrists
Despite all that the posters here find it hard to resist
Commenting on a bathroom that’s got shillstoner real pissed
Miss Muffett’s just added something else to Santa’s list
“Please ensure the ‘Stoners never again mention poo mist.”
What a fantastic house in a great neighborhood. We really love that bathroom and don’t see the problem with its size since its within the confines of the same footprint…very urban in our opinion.
BRG here is why you NEED double sinks in a master bath: missus is cleaning face for the 10th time and she still needs to do the eyelashes and brow thingy while poor PDT needs to shave and run for the door.. “babe I am almost done”..that was 15 minutes ago…PDT is pacing, checking the time and grumbling…. you get our drift right? 🙂
To say that this place is merely expensive is an understatement. The pricing here is irrational and frankly delusional. We think it needs @ least $800K off!

I first apartment in NY was 5 houses down from this one and my landlord paid 5K for his house in 1971
