House of the Day: 859 St. Marks Avenue
This 7,000-square-foot one-family limestone house at 859 St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights has some pretty darn impressive old-school credentials but is gonna take a lotta love to get it back into shape from the looks of things. Which might explain the slide in its price from $1,500,000 when it was first listed last June…
This 7,000-square-foot one-family limestone house at 859 St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights has some pretty darn impressive old-school credentials but is gonna take a lotta love to get it back into shape from the looks of things. Which might explain the slide in its price from $1,500,000 when it was first listed last June to its current price of $859,000 (with a couple of stops at $1,400,000 and $1,200,000 along the way.) Someone’s going to have to fall in love at some point—the question is at what price. And if that person has kids, he’s in luck: The Children’s Museum is right across the street.

There are lots of other more interesting things to talk about — how about this — 325 Clinton Street in Cobble Hill — 7,600 sq. ft., less than $2 million, probably rent controlled/stabilized tenants… http://www.prudentialelliman.com/Listings.aspx?ListingID=776556&rentalperiod=&SearchType=houses&Region=NYC
Haven’t been inside, but I live close by. It’s among a great stretch of Crown Heights residential architecture.

Okay, I’m falling in love!
Anyone seen this house? Please tell all. Mechanicals? Comps?
