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 love the sound of that bathroom brooklyngreen!! lol @ bubble bath parties. is that like a foam party!?
*rob*
Isn’t that kind of bathroom passe now? Suddenly, that level of conspicuous consumption is very outmoded (and rob, not sure such folks are moving to bklyn anytime soon…)
Kids, this house would have sold at $3 million last year at this time. A number of friends sold in Fort Greene for $3 million and a little over that last year. I wonder how long this house has been on the market.
I wouldn’t mind an elegant bathroom like that. I’m not so sure a brownstone/rowhouse is the best setting for it though. You *do* kind of have to think of resale…
But then again, it would be great to having a seating area and a bubble bath party or something like that! Or…you could have a bar set up in the bathroom with the tub filled with ice and champagne (and waterproof lights under the ice!) or filled with water and floating candles. The sinks would be there for the bartenders to do their thing and there’s ample room for a bar counter.
Just a thought!
Happy Holidays!
I stand by my coomnet in light of DIBS’s comment.
I bet they came from the UES rob.

That bathroom is an affront to my personal idea of Brooklyn and what it means to live here. It is something you see in those mcmansions on HGTV shows
well newsflash to you. THOSE ARE the kinds of people moving to brooklyn.
ETA:
Preferably Jersey. But I do love the rest of the house.

My bathroom is 9′ X 14′ and I’m proud of it. These people are on the right track. I may not agree with the decor of the bathroom but…
That’s a bathroom? I thought it was a Korean massage parlor.
