House of the Day: 297 Vanderbilt Avenue
The four-story brownstone at 297 Vanderbilt Avenue was on the market for a while in 2007, but never sold. That might have had something to do with the asking price at the time, which started at $2,000,000 and dropped to $1,800,000 before begin pulled off the market.

The four-story brownstone at 297 Vanderbilt Avenue was on the market for a while in 2007, but never sold. That might have had something to do with the asking price at the time, which started at $2,000,000 and dropped to $1,800,000 before begin pulled off the market. The odds are looking must better now for the two-family house: It just hit the market asking $1,495,000. Seems pretty reasonable to us for a classic brownstone in this location with all of its original details intact. Agree?

narrow house with tight layout. It doesn’t have the central stair that improves these narrow layouts a lot. Nine-foot-wide rooms are not pleasant. It needs a little partition removal to make it nicer. The price seems about right -I guess, that is if anyone is buying anything at any price. Sometimes I wonder.
Noce…..but is it me or is the layout less than optimal?
Having the kitchen on the top floor seems like an odd choice. Who wants to lug the groceries all the way up there?
it was priced too high for it’s size. 1.5 is about right.
They say the apartment’s on the garden floor, but they must mean the forth floor, yes?
M4L–agreed. What was your widget prediction?
Now this is a nice looking house. Glad to see the pricing has moved into he reasonable range.
this is good test to gauge where mkt is at currently. good looking place, ask and location.
I think this ask is spot on. Great location, nice looking bones. Flexible configuration. This should sell for very close to ask.
