House of the Day: 212 8th Avenue
Another classic Park Slope beauty, 212 8th Avenue just hit the market this week. It’s everything you would expect, from the parquet to the mahogany to the pier mirrors. It will be very interesting to see how the price tag of $2,995,000 flies in this market. It wouldn’t have cut the mustard a few months…

It will be very interesting to see how the price tag of $2,995,000 flies in this market. It wouldn’t have cut the mustard a few months ago, we suspect, but psychology is definitely a little better right now so we shall see. We bet it’ll go for more like $2,750,000 but we shall see.

What a beauty. Indeed, it makes sense that Betancourt had this listing by the fact that Betancourt is a Brooklyn based brokerage located in Park Slope. What does not make sense, again and again, is why Elliman brokers from the Manhattan offices beat out Elliman brokers from the Park Slope office (in the very same neighborhood this property is located). Somebody was sleepoing at the wheel. Doesn’t the managing broker of the Brooklyn Elliman office track Park Slope brownstones that are on the market and provide some lead assistance to its agents? At least, one would believe this is what a director of sales is supposed to do in order to support the brokers and income flowing to the office; this is tacit basic business knowledge one should never have to explain any further. What is wrong with this scenario? The local Elliman sales director should be embarrassed by this loss of listing and revenue as well as other past listings in the locale again and again. What is the Brooklyn director of sales in Park Slope really doing to procure leads and business? This is where one must pause and consider. Perhaps chasing weak listings and leaving the good Brooklyn brownstones for Corcoran and Brown, Harris (and Elliman in Manhattan) to feast on.
$3M and almost no useful pictures and an illegible floorplan???
2 points:
1. Based on how long it has been on the market I suspect the reason for the lack of pics maybe because alot of this place aint so great.
2. Either way, it simply amazes me that a broker can get away with such crap. Say what you want about Corcoran but they have always had a much better website w/ generally good pics and plans. It amazes me that 10yrs into the internet age and the rest of these moronic brokers havent figured out how to do a decent web listing yet…disgraceful
When it goes across the top it’s a spandrel. I think when it is vertical it’s a grill or panel. Generally it is called fretwork.
I’d call it a screen. Perhaps someone with actual knowledge can chime in.
From the limited pictures. HOT!
Looks like it’s worth every multi million dollar penny someone is willing to pay for it.
hahaha. i mean the frilly doiley woodwork structure on the inside.
