House of the Day: 213 Congress Street
Finally some fresh blood! It’s been slim pickings in the new listings department this year so far but this immaculate single-family brick at 213 Congress changes that.

Finally some fresh blood! It’s been slim pickings in the new listings department this year so far but this immaculate single-family brick at 213 Congress changes that. The 25-foot-wide house has had the same owner for four decades but appears to have recently undergone a pretty serious (and traditional) renovation, from the massive kitchen to the landscaped backyard. Whether the buyers out there are ready to pay up for it remains to be seen: The asking price is $4,400,000, or more than $1,000 a foot. Possible?

If they’ve owned this for four decades I hope they have a very good tax accountant.
Let’s keep a close eye on this one.
I’m sticking at $2.8-2.9 with the reservation that even that will be a hard sell when they walk up to it and see what’s across the street (no matter how extensive the landscaping).
sam…I’m going up to Albany the week after the Super Bowl. Having lunch at the Fort Orange Club.
I’m not sure that mistress was the correct word. They had an ongoing affair but between her and Dan O’Connell, that’s who really ran Albany politics for almost 5 decades.
Did you grow up in Albany? Did you know Polly?
If I ever meet the Senator I have to tell her about the time that her mother (Penny)put me in the washing machine when I was bout 4 or 5.
I say 4.1 million
I thought it was an open secret that she was Corning’s mistress? Those were the days. Everyone knew and no one said anything.
I say 3.5 mil
Thanks, 11217
$3.5MM the day a pig with lipstick flies down the street, otherwise $2.8-2.9
Yes, sam. She was my grandmother’s sister. A more colorful person has never existed. I can remember the “A” license plate car coming around for any family necessity or function.
The part about three-ways between Erastus, Polly and her husband was not true. That said, she was Erastus’ “confidant.”
Well, this question is likely moot because the price will likely drop. The house on Kane Street is down to $3.85 at the moment. [Also a beautiful beautiful block.]
It’s a great block, and that view will not be the thing that brings the price down. IMHO!!!!
