House of the Day: 213 Berkeley Place
This four-story brownstone at 213 Berkeley Place in Park Slope is a beauty, no doubt about it. The period vibe on the parlor floor also works nicely, we think, and doesn’t come off as too over-the-top. The backyard is simple but attractive. There’s also a garden-level rental to take the edge off the mortgage you…
This four-story brownstone at 213 Berkeley Place in Park Slope is a beauty, no doubt about it. The period vibe on the parlor floor also works nicely, we think, and doesn’t come off as too over-the-top. The backyard is simple but attractive. There’s also a garden-level rental to take the edge off the mortgage you will likely need given the asking price of $2,475,000. We’ll be surprised if they get full price in this market, but suspect that within 10 percent of it is not out of the question. You?

p.s. i like pickles’ idea of keeping score.
the widget should allow for a do-over.
i think someone is screwing around with the appraisal widget. the distribution roughly follows a bell curve as one would expect, except there is an outlying cluster of 7 or 8 estimates around $1.5mm. someone may be using multiple logins to drive the average down.
11217, yeah, great block, if you don’t have what it takes to be on Berkeley b/w 6th and 7th. 😉
Between Mr. Wonton, Ace, the asian grocer with the great fresh cilantro, the runner’s shop, the Mexican place, the awesome dry cleaner that always addresses me by “Mr [insert last name]” and 7th Ave wines and liquors I think that intersection is pretty damn awesome.
I think it would be cool if the widget recorded each username/corresponding appraisal. When you revist when sold, the closest appraiser could get some sort of praise…
I normally love the more period houses like this one, but this house gave me a major case of the blahs… blah, small extension – the bedroom must be tiny on the ground floor (plus it faces your yard, so all your dinners and bbqs are going to be right in your tenants face). Kitchen is dreadful, and no real room to improve without encroaching on the dining room and really changing the parlor floor around. Plus, the house is narrow to begin with and the hall / stairs take up a full third of the width, leaving mostly 12′ wide rooms. The parlor floor consequently looks long and dark…
Can’t say will it’ll go for… maybe between $2M and $2.2, but I certainly wouldn’t pay that for it (even if I could).
Overall – eh.
Sam – that’s ok b/c I typed in 200K instead of 2 million
OOPS! I mistankenly typed 19 milllion in the widget instead of one point nine million.
…desculpar por favor….
A good solid house in the prime slope (I’m waiting for some idiot to write that this is a fringe location because it is too far from Fifth Avenue)
So how much for a good haute-bourgeoise house?
I say 1.9 in today’s market. It does need some spiffying up.
the purple parlor does no one any favors, but it is a lovely, solid house. I hope it sells. Otherwise we are all doomed.
