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. What I find really telling is how infrequently an A&H property is featured on Brownstoner. They used to be a real powerhouse (for reasons I’ve never understood) but don’t seem to get much biz these days.

  2. I found her guarded in the NYMag piece, but I could be wrong.

    But Brownstoner’s assessment is apt; with 5th Ave. such a destination now the named North Slope streets are not so quiet anymore.

  3. Rob… you would think EVERYONE would do a lot more for $2 million! It’s just absurd.

    A $150,000 house in Cortland, NY gets more effort from all parties than a multi-million dollar mansion in Park Slope. It’s clearly a disease of decadence and entitlement.

  4. “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.”

    -20%. But but but I thought Case-Shiller was irrelevant (up +200% like brownstones, now down -20% and plummeting like brownstones).

  5. That’s a huge lot… has the deep backyard.

    Not enough pics. Has a broker got this right YET?
    Stop sending agents with their little 4-megapixel pocket digital cameras!

  6. “Where’s the Floorplan?”

    Ask Peggy (the Czarina) Aguayo.

    It’s too bad we’re not going to have a real old fashioned real estate downturn (we’re not, that’s already clear) in the brownstone market because then crappy brokers like A&H would go out of business.
