House of the Day: 449 Bergen Street
This two-family house at 449 Bergen Street in Park Slope hit the market last month asking $1,899,000 and just reduced earlier this week to $1,795,000. The three-story (sorta) house was renovated top-to-bottom in 2002, the year before the current owner bought it for $595,000. Seems like a pretty stiff mark-up to us. 449 Bergen Street…

Can’t comment on the price, but this is a pretty short lot!
LOT SIZE 25 x 59
BUILDING SIZE 25 x 35
this is someone’s home you are speaking about. you might think it’s overpriced, but to call this lovely home a shack is downright despicable.
should be a demo if there is 3,200 SF of development rights.
Land is $200/SF in this area tops. $1M for this property at most, maybe more if the current own takes down their shack.
Ooooooh, “beautiful medallions and details” — are they referring to the vents and the down lights? Nothing sets off an original plaster medallion quite like a vent.
Oops. My mistake. It was renovated BEFORE the 595k sale. I retract my earlier suggestion of 999k. Even that’s too high.
> Market should be at 2003 prices, therefore this should be 595K, not a penny more.
Didn’t it say they did an extensive renovation after buying? Who knows what that really means, but there’s probably some added value there.
Sorry the widget isn’t taking everyone’s estimates. Something must have happened when we rejiggered the range of prices…working on it.
The widget is not taking my guess of 1195000. (It is 25′ wide after all — no way this going for under a million).
And what is up with the double websites?
Anyone understand why A&H has 2 separate, poorly designed website with different properties?
