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?

This is a beautiful street which goes for one block between Joralemon and State. It is Central Heights and gets no real traffic, houses on the street are nice too. I think it is beautiful inside; the furnishings are a bit much ala super classic/traditional, VERY estabished looking, but you are not buying that. kitchen looks a little dated, but the great thing is the location. It seems like the Heights prices are going up…
My guess is that the addition leaves almost no backyard.
But that’s just my guess.
Is this house merely 15 feet wide?
That’s a lot of money for a 15 footer!
“The owner is very well known in a pseudo famous kind of way.”
For ghastly taste?
“Do houses in this nabe typically get so skinny in the back? What’s with that?”

I think the skinny back portion is the addition.
And I think the city often prohibits additions from being the full width of the building.
yeah you and stevieb are the kings of cut&paste!
OK, another tiny gripe: how do they come up with 3,800 sf?
Property Shark only gives 1,736sf, but clearly this is only for the original 2-story structure, not accounting for the basement, the extension and the addition on top. Still adding all these, I barely count 3,300sf.
Sorry about the bad link…if you did as much cutting and pasting as we do in a day, you’d understand!
This is a truly beautiful house inside – you really have to see it in person – and unique in a good way from the outside. Granted its a different style than what we typically think of for a Heights row house…and you have with the stigma of having a home that is merely 90 years old…oh, and don’t forget 3500 sq ft (teeny tiny by some standards).
Kind of odd to see a double listing, eh? Really would have thought this would have been the kind of place Kevin C could move in a month or two. The owner is very well known in a pseudo famous kind of way.
Will get north of $3.5 IMO.
