House of the Day: 29 South Elliott Place
As the new listing for this brownstone at 29 South Elliott Place freely admits, there’s plenty of cosmetic work that needs doing. The four-story house, however, does have nice bones and happens to be located on a park block on one of Fort Greene’s most picturesque streets. It’s currently configured as an owner’s triplex over…
As the new listing for this brownstone at 29 South Elliott Place freely admits, there’s plenty of cosmetic work that needs doing. The four-story house, however, does have nice bones and happens to be located on a park block on one of Fort Greene’s most picturesque streets. It’s currently configured as an owner’s triplex over a ground-floor rental, arguably the most desirable set-up. The asking price is $1,750,000. Does that seem about right to you?

For your amusement, here is the Brownstoner HOTD thread from 2007 for 53 S. Elliot.

About 53 S. Elliott, Trulia says:
“This Single-Family Home located at 53 South Elliott Place, Brooklyn NY sold for $2,700,000 on Aug 13, 2009. 53 S Elliott Pl has approximately 3,600 square feet. The property has a lot size of 2,000 square feet and was built in 1899.”
53 S. Elliott, btw, does not face the high school.
Comps bottom at $750K. It’s narrow. Typical Fort Greene 20-footers will bottom at $1M. But we’re far from bottom and Jerry’s good. This’ll close above $1.6M. That buyer will regret paying that much.

“prime fort greene”
Comments anyone???
This is an attractive brownstone. I like the two-bay homes. however 1.7 million is a large number especially if it needs repairs and updating. I’m not sure if “park block” can deliver the sufficient added value in this economy.
Half of this street is very pretty, the other half is not.
If you buy this home, you look out your window at that high school. Not so pretty.
Too bad this place isn’t one block over, on S. Portland Ave.
Now, THAT is a beautiful block!
But I love the neighborhood.
It’s vibrant and convenient.
The layout on the rental is pretty bad too – what would that fetch?
53 south elliot sold for 2.8mm or so a few months ago – that is same block (it was larger house though).
hard to tell how much work is needed since we don’t have pictures but i don’t think this trades below 1.5mm even if it needs a new completely new kitchen and some more work. it is a nice block and it is prime fort greene.
Strawberry Shortcake!
You’re funny, Ringo.
