Original asking for this 1,224-ft unit in the Toll Brothers’ development was $1,195,990; the higher sale price likely reflects the fact that a parking space was included. StreetEasy records show that it went into contract about a year ago. Deed recorded 9/24.

Nokalassi,
Are you trying to sell a 2-bedroom apt in Manhattan? Is the market weird right now.
Is supply very tight in the neighborhoods you’re looking at? It doesn’t seem there is a lot of quality out there right now.
I guess paying 1.2m for a decent 2-family that needs a good deal of work (300-400k) wouldn’t be outrageous in prime Brooklyn but every 4-story house seems to be north of 1.2 even when they need complete, entire overhauls. I’m talking about prime brownstone/landmarked districts of course. And I guess a shell in BH would be 2m+.
FG has very little on the market and a lot of renos going on so I guess nothing will move for a while.
Thoughts anyone?
Nobrokers and Biff,
I’m nonplussed with that one too. It is just odd.
And the renovation, while we are told “stunning” and “high end”, appears to me the kind of thing that will be out of style relatively soon (I didn’t care for that kitchen, so perhaps I’m biased just a bit).
Anyway, Biff, still interested in Ft. Greene, North Slope, Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill. In that order.
Does anyone have an idea on the area of 16th St. and PPW, specifically 16th bet 8 Ave+ PPW? I’m looking to rent in the area (pvt home w basement and large yard) The area looks to be rapidly gentrifying and seems to have many great features (very close to Park, F train, etc.) Heard that a new Pub/Restaurant is opening shortly right on the corner of 16th and PPW (owners from Cake Shop in lower Manhattan). I am confident that the apartment and area have all that I want/need. I’m just trying to get an additional feel on the nabe. Thanks.
Nobrokersplease, I’m with you. Even with a super duper renovation, could it really be worth over $1.6MM more than what the seller originally paid in 2006?? Especially given everyone’s expectations for the direction with which sales prices will be moving.
I don’t care how nice that 8th Street house is, it has to be THE most expensive house on all of 8th Street and it’s not even on a park block. I’m guessing it’s even one of the top 2 or 3 most expensive houses in the South Slope. The buyer must have really loved that house because the purchase defies logic.
Nokilissa, what area(s) are you looking at in BK?
Miss Muffett,
All of the above. That and it just got depressing and tiresome. And nothing ever came close to the place on Adelphi I’d fallen in love with – which we lost out on in a closed bidding war if you can believe such a thing. So I made the cardinal mistake in a home search: fell in love. And lost. Now can’t find a “replacement”.
Oh, and that pesky little problem of having to sell our place in Manhattan, which is no picnic at present. That too. Sigh.
Noklissa – did you give up looking due to low inventory? Waiting out the market? Just curious.
BG,
A resounding, unfortunate and mildly sheepish yes. But more importantly, life has been a harried and hectic space of late, leaving little or no room for much loved participation in sparring on Brownstoner. For now.
