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?

Funny, I’m sitting on about $800K in cash I earned every penny of by starting my own graphic design studio and have nary a penny of debt.
I don’t feel foolish…
I thought Minard was a he. Montrose Morris is a she.
Minard’s a she?
center stair makes the floorplan a lot more open and allows for nice full width bedrooms, but is sf always calculated by the outer dimensions of the bldg? This place has 3100 sf by the lot lines, but interior space is at least 400sf less.
Considering Minard Lafever’s quote regarding 135 Lafayette yesterday, I don’t think she will be moving to Ft. Greene anytime soon…
“I don’t like this location, I don’t think it’s safe. that’s all. I don’t see why I should spend my hard-earned money to live somewhere where I can expect to be mugged and robbed. No thank you.”

Nice.
Extremely expensive to heat, given its position on the end of the row. Not to mention the neighbor’s never-ending construction project.
I think that the upper kitchen is more of a ‘snack kitchen’ — I don’t think that the current owners used it as a 2-fam, and if so, only with relatives.
Whoever said it above is right. Those posting below $1.0MM have no clue.
MFN,
Not moving to Fort Greene any time soon? Oh well.
