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…

I like this block of Bergen as well — what they’ve done on the commercial side is really quite wonderful (though I didn’t know the bookstore closed, that’s a bummer)…but it really isn’t a residential block. Sandwiched between Flatbush and Fifth Ave, its short and noisy — not homey in the least bit. Given that, the price seems crazy, especially because this place doesn’t seem big or otherwise special. Place is zoned for 282 — given its location, it could have much worth zoning, so I guess its got that going for it.
so many houses are “rarely available” these days….

Photo 1: What is the angled ‘niche’? Is that the stairs? If so, oh, hell no!!!!! 1.8M house and you don’t get a beautiful staircase.
I’m too lazy to look it up. How wide is this house? Cause it sure is Squat.
The nice thing abt A&H properties though is you can set intrinsic value easily by their pricing. Discount by 40-50% or you’re overpaying. The supply a much needed service.
Re: the ridiculous price for this property– It’s A&H, should we expect anything less? They seem to specialize in bleeding their clients by mis-pricing properties.
Agree that this is one of the more overpriced places featured recently, possibly by 40-50%. Photos make it feel like most of the house is underground – seems like very little natural light. Interiors are meh.
Snappy, I think we should save ourselves the effort and just email the Agent this thread.
What say we all call A&H and pepper the agent with endless questions and hope it inspires him/her to fix the listing 🙂
what is that big box protuding in the left corner of the first photo? is it the kitchen????
