House of the Day: 315 Garfield Place
Probably the nicest house for sale in Brooklyn right now, 315 Garfield Place hit the market last September asking $8,500,000 and was reduced to the current price of $7,750,000 back in June. While that’s a tough number in this market (or any, really), consider that the 26-foot-wide brownstone has almost 7,000 square feet of space…
Probably the nicest house for sale in Brooklyn right now, 315 Garfield Place hit the market last September asking $8,500,000 and was reduced to the current price of $7,750,000 back in June. While that’s a tough number in this market (or any, really), consider that the 26-foot-wide brownstone has almost 7,000 square feet of space and has been immaculately renovated. Still, at this rarified price point, it’s more about whether some banker or movie star is going to fall in love and have to have it than rationally comparing it to price per square foot comps around in the area. And given that the current owners paid less than $4 million for the house (pre-renovation, presumably) back in 2006, they can probably afford to be patient.

Here’s one in the West Village for 17 million….it’s roughly the same square footage but a totally different style…

“There’s a video link on the listing which gives you a tour of practically the whole house. You don’t think that’s better than photos?”
If I thought it was better I would not have said so. The video didn’t show baths and was way too fast. Plus, pausing the video to see details brought up an Open House NYC overlay.
A listing like this (5 floors) should have 20+ pictures. Mechanicals detail, etc. I’ll never understand $4+ million listings that don’t have more than a dozen well-lit & staged photos. Buyers at this price point want a full and complete presentation online. Actually, at the price point there should be a separate website for this house.
A house like this might go for for 10 million on the Upper West Side and potentially 15 or 20 on the UES. Maybe about the same in the West Village…

similar?
Wow! Now that’s the brownstone fantasy! That’s what compells people to sign away their financial future for a wreck in the hood only to bailout midreno.
***Bid half off peak comps***
“Video’s good. Wish they went a little slower, tho. Do you agree that the same building would list for 30 million in Manhattan?”
Oh, was that pre-crash prices? But still.
“and what’s with only 5 interior pictures?!”

This listing is so stale it’s crunchy. Sellers are going on an extended fishing expedition.
And what’s with only 5 interior pictures?! Lastly, nice walk-in closets BUT lame “master bathroom” (no tub and no double sink and no window). Small garden because of extension.
perfect – except the horrible white door!
perfect!…..except for the white paint on the front door. What’s with that?
It is a huge house,ample for a celebrity and his/her entourage. The only problem is that celebrities like garages so they can come and go without being seen. Madona’s new house on the UES has what? a four car garage? That’s why she bought it I’m sure.
