2. PARK SLOPE $1,662,500
545 9th Street GMAP
This three-story limestone house was House of the Day in February, and we thought the asking price of $1,695,000 sounded pretty good, considering it’s only a half-block from Prospect Park and has plenty of historic charm. “It is currently used as a lower garden duplex with a top floor rental unit, and can be delivered vacant. The duplex has 7 rooms and 1.5 baths; the top floor simplex is a spacious two-bedroom,” says its listing on StreetEasy. Average Reader Appraisal was $1,452,213.

5. BROOKLYN HEIGHTS $1,375,000
360 Furman Street, #740 GMAP
We couldn’t find much info on this particular condo in One Brooklyn Bridge Park, but it’s probably safe to assume that it’s similar to unit #640, a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1,709-sf condo that was listed at $1,375,000 and sold last week for $1,390,000, according to StreetEasy.

  1. Pigeon –

    I talked to the couple that bought it right after the final walk through. They’re planning on being busy.

    BUT…it does have great bones. Original wide plank flooring, ceiling medallions, etc. I could see a lot of folks considering it to be move-in condition. I thought the same thing about 351 Pacific a few years ago, and the new owners redid all the kitchen and bathrooms.

    When folks buy a place they want to make it their own, put their own imprint on it.

  2. “The $1.6M on the (the Dean St home) reflects the amount of work that will be needed in a reno.”

    BoerumHill,
    I saw the Dean St home.
    It was in great shape.
    It did not need any reno.
    Except the removal of a very small extra kitchen.

  3. I don’t recall Montauk spread being listed for more than a year and pretty sure it started at 3.2 million. Could be wrong, but it’s a gorgeous place.

    Apt. 5 in the building just sold in May as well.

    I thought the filmmakers were the ones who own the Lincoln Place brownstone (half modern/half original) we just saw a couple weeks ago. Maybe the owners of Montauk Club are filmmakers also. But I definitely do recall seeing their place in a magazine or two.
