House of the Day: 17 Garden Place
This charming townhouse at 17 Garden Place was on the market for a couple of months last fall with a price that started with the number 4. After taking the winter off, the single-family home has been re-listed as a co-broke for $3,700,000, which brings the price per square foot under the $1,000 mark. While…
This charming townhouse at 17 Garden Place was on the market for a couple of months last fall with a price that started with the number 4. After taking the winter off, the single-family home has been re-listed as a co-broke for $3,700,000, which brings the price per square foot under the $1,000 mark. While not quite one-of-a-kind, the house is pretty darn unusual and special and has clearly had a spare-no-expense renovation. Do you think the price is in the ballpark now?

I saw all these houses, and I still say pshaw to those 5 million and over houses now on the market. WIllow street was huge, over 7500 square feet. Pierrepont was purchased by a school at the top of the market, and 85 State was a great, great deal – wish I bought it!
I’m just stunned that Stella Artois is the best selling beer in Brooklyn for Fresh Direct. It’s the worst Belgian beer — it’s the Budweiser of Belgium.
“Gang green” – what’s with the secrecy concerning the owner?
Gabriel Byrne has been outed as living across the street, Giamatti is nearby? Who is it?
Also, that’s a skinny, weirdly laid out house for $3M.
And Willow was so out there at its initial ask (was it $8 million, or more?) that I think I never even registered it.
I never saw Pierrepont or Garden listed. Dang.
You forgot:
118 Willow 5.0
122 Pierrepont 4.25
23 Garden 3.5
85 State 3.4
80 State, 20 Grace Court Alley and 169 State went into contract in 2009 but closed in 2010
Disagree with those who say this house isn’t up to par because it isn’t a Brownstone. I love the exterior and would take it any day over your basic brownstone. Would have to visit to see how I feel about the interior, though. But as far as curb appeal goes, IMO, this rocks.
$3.7 is a big stretch, especially without a decent garden.
Homey has an interesting point. Here are the 2009 sales (I think these are all sales but some may have gone into contract in 2009:
80 State 3.4
47 Sidney 3.31
32 College 3.2
45 State 3.05
20 Grace Alley 2.995
72 Hicks 2.9
161 Hicks 2.7
169 State 2.325
plus the total reno job at 31 Joralemon for just under $1.1.
What must be giving sellers optimism is that, between December and now, 5 or 6 more houses have gone into contract including some decent looking houses that just were not moving, like the one on Clinton near the corner of State.
Ringo, think “Gang green.”
