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?

wasder, it was perma bull DIBS’s bid matching mine is what’s throwing me off – ie he’s usually higher than both of us.
didn’t a 20 footer on vanderbilt (closer to greene ave) sell recently after it dropped price to 1.4M?
wasder, that must be Miss Muffett and friends. Wishing will not make it so.
I think it will sell to someone at $1.35MM but I’m having problems with the floorplan. I’d probably move the kitchen to the parlour level and use the top floor plumbing for an ensuite master bath.
But I don’t need three floors for myself and I don’t want to share the parlour level entrance with tenants.
The garden level would be nice to rent out but needs some reconfiguring.
The folks who are making a cluster of bids under a mil are quite delusional…
M4L–aren’t you usually slightly under my predictions? Also, DIBS probably read the floor plan more carefully than I did. I made my bid before noticing the 15 foot wide aspect. However, I still think that is a reasonable price for a decent looking house in that location and I am confident that the actual sale price will exceed the widget as usual and be quite close to ask.
ML- isn’t this too dangerous a neighborhood too?
also, the prop is 17.17 x 45. 15 is inside dimension.
they’ll get interest at this price.
personally i’d rather have a kitchen in the rear parlor and build a deck off the back. in this well-preserved house that would be borderline criminal. but who wants to live in a huge house with a galley kitchen on the 4th floor?
Overall, this house is pretty similar to 396 Vanderbilt in terms of size, location, and needing a bit of TLC (but not too much.) I don’t believe 396 sold even though it was asking 1,295,000.
bbb—don’t think the house I am talking about was in foreclosure but not sure.
