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?
213 Berkeley Place [Brown Harris Stevens] GMAP P*Shark
Any idea what the square footage is? Property Shark says 4416, but that doesn’t make sense (20.5 x 42 = 861 x 4 =3444).
Horrible design. Would be much better as double duplex with internal stairs, all that wasted space otherwise. Tiny kitchen, tiny renter’s bedroom.
Ha….never heard this one before…

As the Landmarks Preservation Commission sees it “Berkeley Place is one of the most handsome residential streets in the District.”
I agree…handsome is an appropriate word.
I’m biased though.
Thought the pics were charming until getting to the kitchen. Do people really pay over $2MM with kitchens that awful? Also, not sure what’s going on withe the third bedroom on the top floor, 6′ wide?!?
great locale
but this house is sooo not my cup of tea and that kitchen is dreadful
am sure the backyard is nice when it’s spring and summer
I think it will get 2mill
I agree…the backyard does need a little sprucing up it looks like, but also notice how the trees behind this block are quite large/mature and provide quite a lot of privacy and greenery…
Great location, and fantastic detail in the first two photos, but the kitchen is dated and hideous, and the back yard is bare and uninviting. Without seeing what the rest of the place looks like, can’t really come to a conclusion – but I’m guessing if the rest were really gorgeous enough to justify the price, there’d be more photos.
I agree with you Lechacal…this will be a good test. I really like the look of this house, and last year, this would have been listed at 2.8 at a minimum.
A house two doors down from here was asking 2.75 last year and sold for 2.45 last year and needed to be gutted (it actually IS being gutted as we speak).
It’s a handsome block, that’s for darn sure. 😉
Jeez, the renter’s bedroom looks pretty unappealing. Otherwise nice, I guess, though that living room looks like it was designed to stifle all possibility of ever allowing anyone to do anything remotely resembling fun.
