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?

I’m lower than team reasonable founder wasder by 125k but same as perma bull DIBS. DIBS, did you switch teams?
to be clear, “I” would low-ball it if I were to make an offer. currently feel no incentive to offer mkt price to buy something while mkt is still dripping.
agree with Wasder those blks on st james are definitely prettier but nevertheless is less valueable price-wise
Wasder are you talking abut the house that just went into foreclosure on Saint James?
“wasder if this house was on Saint James it would be worth much less. This is a much better block”
It would be worth marginally less I think. The house on St James that sold for this price point was a nicer, better maintained and wider house. And actually the blocks of St James between Lafayette and Gates are prettier by far than this block of Vanderbilt. But of course the proximity to the DeKalb strip is what makes the Vanderbilt house valuable.
Seems like a lot of money for a narrow, claustrophobic house. Locations seems pretty good, but still…
1.25, take it or leave it. the house needs a lot of renovation.

Looks nice but the tiny kitchen on the top floor is weird. I’d want to move it to the parlor.
I guessed $1.35 MM as well.
M4L–we are playing our roles to a T then! 1.475.
