We’ll be really interested to see what this new brownstone listing at 282 Park Place ends up selling for. We really like these brownstone blocks of Prospect Heights—they’re not quite as established (read: fancified) as the blocks on the other side of Flatbush but as a result they’re also a little cooler in our opinion. (We’re not the only ones who think so—right, Maggie and Peter?) This particular house has lots of details and is configured nicely into am upper triplex with garden rental, as most potential buyers will want it. It’s also got lots of original details. Eighteen months ago we suspect this would have been asking $2,250,000. It just came to market, however, with a price tag of $1,799,000. Interesting indeed.

  1. 11217…it’s very funny because one of the things I like about bed Stuy is the releative peace and quiet compared to other parts of Brooklyn where you do open your door and find lots of people and places to walk to within a hundred yards!!!

    But I’m older.

    And you’re right about Boise. 🙂

    That said, when I was looking for my vountry house, one of the criteria was that it had to be within a relatively short walk to someplace nice to eat and drink!!!

  2. This house was on the market last summer and being sold by the owner/broker for $2.15M. Not sure when it went to A&H. In the floorplan on their NYT listing, the owner’s kitchen was in the very large-ish extension.

    Was there an open house this past weekend?

  3. Some people moved to New York City for things other than peace and quiet.

    I know, strange.

    I’m personally grateful for the vibrancy that 5th Avenue has brought to Park Slope. If I didn’t want to see some people, hear a little noise and have access out my doorstep to 100’s of restaurants and shops, I would have moved to Boise.

  4. 11217 — I was making a general statement. But yes, I should have been sensitive to this particular property and recognized that laziness, decadence, and entitlement is alive and well in Prospect Heights real estate as well.

  5. > now the named North Slope streets are not so quiet anymore.

    Neither are the numbered streets off 5th. I don’t miss the Friday and Saturday night “Woohhoo!” people.
