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?

Tahnk God, they’ll take the furniture with them.
That kitchen is NOT part of a 3.7 million dollar house. It just can’t be. It looks like it’s a kitchen in a shack in the woods, everything hanging from the ceiling. There’s a boar in the corner ready to be skinned.
I don’t know, I wanted to like it, but… No, the renovation is not to my taste, it’s narrow, the ceilings feel a bit low. Maybe it’s the pictures? Great location and cute facade, so I’m sure a price north of $3M is a shoe-in. Given that the grand 25-footer sold for $4M in the “biggest sales of the week”, this listing seems overpriced.
Why, oh why, pay this much for a teeny tiny non-brownstone house with odd-shaped rooms. I don’t see the value here.
BHS: This is how to put together an informative web listing.
Corcoran: Not so much.
Nope, BHS didn’t bother with bathroom photos either. Just one extra pic of a staircase.
The kitchen seems a bit “woodsy” to me…perhaps it urban-country chic?
Maybe this thing with so few pics is a proven strategic approach by brilliant realtors. Don’t show it all at once, and they’ll be left wanting to find out more. Like women.
Do houses in this nabe typically get so skinny in the back? What’s with that? (gotta see floorplan to know what I mean…

Adore the exterior and location, but the kitchen? Not so much. Bathroom? Garden? Guessing the BHS listing has them.
The BHS listing (had to navigate there myself…as others said, link is wrong) has better pics and a floorplan. Corcoran is slacking.
