This 3,304-sf, one-family townhouse hit the market in April of last year, according to StreetEasy, and went into contract a couple months later. Its ad had this to say: “nicely restored with six bedrooms, three baths, a family room, and a great back yard… Because of the lovely original center stair, each room is the full width of the house, and the room proportions are wonderful…It might just be more space than you need.” Entered into contract on 6/16/08; closed on 12/16/08; deed recorded on 1/21/09.

I wish I remembered which one that was, Wasder!!
“I prefer agreeing with you too, Wasder.” I went back and looked at the thread when my apt was coop of the day last summer and you loved our interiors!!!
19 footer on State Street sold for 3.8 million in June 2008
25 footer on Congress is asking 4.4 million in January 2009.
State Street house looks nicer, seems more updated yet is slightly smaller.
No ones knows, but how much do you think they’d get for State Street today if it were for sale? That might be a good number to start with on the Congress Street house.
3.2 on a good day?
True enough. Both streets have pluses and minuses. For example, this State Street house backs up onto the retail stores and walk-ups of Atlantic Avenue, whereas Congress Street backs up onto other townhouses on Amity Street. I personally think the Congress Street house asking price is a reach, but nevertheless I found yesterday’s debate on the streetscape to be largely off the mark.
19 footer on State Street near Court sold for 3.8 million.
25 footer on Congress Street near Court asking 4.4 million.
I predict it will sell for 4.1.
what’s the prob?
“I’m a Heights partisan through and through, but if I was forced to choose between this block and Congress between Clinton/Court, I’d probably take Congress.”
Depends on who you talk to I think. I had a conversation this morning with an old friend who has lived in the Heights for 20 years now and I happened to mention the back and forth yesterday about the Congress Street stuff on here. The initial reaction from him was…
“Congress…you mean the street with those 3 big ugly brick buildings on it…?
Ha. I thought it was funny considering the big debate about it yesterday.
State between Clinton and Court is not a uber-high end buyer kind of street. It feeds into Court where the big movie theater is. It’s a fine block, but this house would be several hundreded thousand dollars more if it were on one of the premium streets like Garden Place or Willow Street. I’m a Heights partisan through and through, but if I was forced to choose between this block and Congress between Clinton/Court, I’d probably take Congress.
I prefer agreeing with you too, Wasder.
By all means, if I’m proven wrong about Congress Street, so be it.
can something go into contract and close on the same day?
