House of the Day: 65 Prospect Park West, Reduced
We posted 65 Prospect Park West as a House of the Day last April when it hit the market asking $2,899,000. The price has just been reduced by a third, bringing it down to $1,950,000. The listing says that the “motivated seller MUST SELL” so there’s probably some wiggle room even from here. Even if…
We posted 65 Prospect Park West as a House of the Day last April when it hit the market asking $2,899,000. The price has just been reduced by a third, bringing it down to $1,950,000. The listing says that the “motivated seller MUST SELL” so there’s probably some wiggle room even from here. Even if the interior is a disaster, the seller would be better served to include some interior photos: absence makes the heart grow suspicious. The listing does say that there’s plenty of original charm left so at some price in here this has to be interesting. Last go round, the average widget price was $2,173,820. Let’s see what people think six months later.

“I got turned off by the OT, not very friendly.”
Tara, thanks for your response on PS houses (and you, too, Miss Muffett), but please give the OT another shot. I’ll be the first to admit there’s been some bickering in recent weeks, but having hung out with most of the regulars in person, they’re really a nice, warm, friendly, collegial group of people. So, please give the OT another chance – we really enjoyed “meeting” you the other day.
CarrollGardened, there aren’t that many for less than $1.4, not in Prime Slope anyway.
And if you find one, it’ll need a ton of work or is not as deep.
I got turned off by the OT, not very friendly.
CarrollGardened – 356 1st Street comes to mind, but there are definitely others. There was a house on 10th Street bet 6/7 by Betancourt that was drop dead gorgeous that sold for 1.595 (granted, more than 1.4, but it was an exquisite architect’s renovation, and bought in peak spring selling season). Friends of mine also bought just before the crash in further South slope in the 1.3 range. Am at work and don’t have time to scour more, but do your research and you will see what I mean.

Just found out the house on 2nd Street between 5th & 6th is asking $1.1M – that’s a 3-story that needs TLC on a nice block in PS. So yeah, $1.4M seems high…
Seriously, I might get flamed for this, but I would not touch this for a penny over 1 million, and even that is high to live in the shadow of that huge building next door, listen to PPW traffic, and take on the headaches the gut would be…
Tara (I’ll save your OT name for the OT), we’ve missed you in the OT. Where you been?
Did these people NOT Google Awaye / Arlene Waye before hiring them (assuming they hired them)?
Miss Muffett, I’m not attacking you. I’m ready to buy. So, I’m just wondering, WHERE, on prime Park Slope blocks, have you seen houses for less than $1.4 million?
I always wondered about the layout of these houses. I guess I’ll keep wondering.
The driveway (parking) must add some value.
walk by this place often. from the outside, the place is pretty bad. the pictures don’t do it (dis)justice. it will need extensive work on the outside. it’s such an eyesore to the rest of that block too.
