House of the Day: 276 Berkeley Place
This knock-your-socks-off mansion at 276 Berkeley Place in Park Slope was on the market back in 2006 for $4,250,000 but never sold. Now the 36-foot-wide Romanesque Revival house, which is full of drool-worthy historic detail, is back on again—this time for $4,200,000. Given that it’s 9,000 square feet and 11 bedrooms, the price doesn’t seem…

Isn’t this realistically the type of place that a private organization or something would buy? Aren’t most of the “single family” buildings around Gramercy Park owned by organizations or clubs or what have you? Even if you were a bajillionaire, and let’s say you have 4 or 5 kids (not likely), want to live in Brooklyn (not likely), and have parents living with you (not likely), this is still 4 or 5 bedrooms too many…
11217, it needs a new kitchen (2 if you want to rent out the garden floor) and new baths. Also, there is a large back bay room (it’s not a window, it’s more like a small oval room), running from the top to the bottom of the house, that is sagging (especially on the top 2 floors) and needs to be jacked up.
11217, it’s not really inhabitable as is. No real kitchen and baths that just need to be torn out. The first floor unit needs to be gutted. I think it has to be a cash deal.
The St. Mark’s house has been on the market since June 2008…
It started at 1.5 million. Is there something wrong with it? Why is it sitting so long?
Tyburg, three of those bedrooms will be perfect for the orphan-scullery maids.
chicken, the St. Mark’s house is really that spectacular. As Dave said on Saturday, most of the woodwork needs nothing more than a good cleaning.
Taxes at St marks are $6,800 which surprised me. i thought they’d be even lower.
The family from “Yours, Mine and Ours” would love this house. I’m with DIBS, Amzi and MM that the St. Mark’s house is even nicer (and this house, while beautiful and in a great location, is just a bit out of my price range).
Yes, m4l has far, far more mahogany!!!!
rob, to be specific, I can poop in my ensuite bath and never smell anything in the adjoining bedroom. Thre is a door and it just doesn’t travel that far. It’s not like the toilet is in the bedroom and the door to the bathroom is about 15 feet or so away from the bed.
