House of the Day: 216 17th Street
A real brownstone in Park Slope for $1,499,000? Yes, but, before you get too excited, it’s 17-feet wide, in the South Slope and needs work (it’s been in the same family for 58 years, after all). It’s not all bad at 216 17th Street, though. There are some nice architectural details and the taxes are…

I can’t see this property, in this location, in this condition, going for a million, let alone over a million.
MR,
that’s why i used quotes for the word “wrong” – i’m drawing inferences from at least three or four posters who think it should be priced lower because it’s south of the prospect expy. whatever…
I saw this last August, when it was being listed for $1.38M by a less glamorous broker:

It needs work, and you can even tell from the pictures that the brownstone facade is in bad shape. I am rather surprised that Corcoran is trying to ask for more.
I feel too this will go at around 1.2ish
appoggiatura-
I see “other” side, “that” side. You are the first to call it the “wrong” side.
I think you are probably right about the price.

the actual park in sunset park is at 40th street and this place is on 17th! they are totally different neighborhoods, but call it whatever you will – the name greenwood heights has been in use since the late 90’s…does it really matter?
but what i find amusing is that a bunch of posters are saying it’s on the “wrong” side of the expressway, meaning it’s inferior to south slope. well, i live in this area and personally find the area south of the expressway (say 17th st. to 23rd street) to be much more desirable than the area between 9th st. and 16th street. crime is almost nonexistent, and people are friendly.
there are some great bars/restaurants on 5th ave. between 17th and 23rd, and many other small businesses – just a great neighborhood overall.
the house is priced ok, although i agree the layouts are bizarro. i’ll bet it sells for no less than 1.2 if the structure and mechanicals are ok.
Jingle Mail-
This is quite far from Windsor Terrace.
not a penny over 999k (and even that’s a bit high). who would pay the mansion tax to live on a highway on-ramp in windsor terrace? i wouldn’t live a block from a highway at any price, but that’s just me.
