House of the Day: 401 Grand Avenue
As someone who owns a similar house rather nearby, we’re hoping that the asking price of $1,100,000 for the brownstone at 401 Grand Avenue is just a savvy marketing trick to spark a bidding war! Granted, some of the finishes leave something to be desired, but the parlor floor looks to be intact. For comparison,…
As someone who owns a similar house rather nearby, we’re hoping that the asking price of $1,100,000 for the brownstone at 401 Grand Avenue is just a savvy marketing trick to spark a bidding war! Granted, some of the finishes leave something to be desired, but the parlor floor looks to be intact. For comparison, 385 Grand Avenue sold for $1,225,000 back in January, arguably a much worse time to sell a house. This place’s chances aren’t helped by using a broker that apparently doesn’t even have a website.

Wow, read this thread. Usually everyone is busting a broker/sellers chops for being greedy with pricing. Now there is a house starting at a reasonable (for the market) price and everyone is suspicious!
i suspect this needs more than a few bucks.
whoops–meant to say if any house was available on Clinton Ave for 975 then this is NOT under-priced.
m4l–I don’t remember the Clinton Ave one. If any house on Clinton Ave was available for 975 then yes this is underpriced. But when much smaller houses on my block are selling for over 1.1 and 83 Downing moves for 1.33 this feels cheap.
This looks like a good house. I agree with Wasder. Looks cheap, but go for it M4L.
This property looks really nice. Maybe the bathrooms are a wreck?
Obviously it needs an electrical upgrade, and that kitchen could stand to lose the island and the counters but otherwise this looks very sound. In the photos they show it hasn’t been ruined with remodeling, at least.
That metal awning is hilarious but easily removed. It’s like a belt and suspenders.
M4L, I’m looking forward to the house warming party.
wasder, remember that massive brownstone with th front porch a few houses down from that fixer mansion on clinton? that sold for 975k and it was bigger, nicer interior, better location, worst facade,… so I can’t say this is substantially under-priced
Rarely can one come on here and say a property is substantially undervalued but this appears to be the case. Unless there are hidden structural issues this ask appears to be at least 100G under what it ought to be.
Yes, this agency exists and they are straight shooters. Very in touch with the neighborhood.
