11217, I’m pretty sure that was a house of the day at some point. I seem to recall banter about some of the less “traditional” (shall we say) colours throughout the home. However, the place definitely has great bones and a stellar location.
holey moley, 11217…that 3rd street house is amazing!!
Don’t kill me for all the PS listings, but I’m just looking at Streeteasy today and noticed another big listing went to contract….I remember this might have been a house of the day at some point perhaps, or maybe an open house pick…

Nice to see some of these high priced houses going to contract, but will be curious to see what they sell for.
11217 – I remember that place and I think I really loved it and someone kept complaining how cheap it was to have that “Home Depot” stair railing – cest la vie
ha!
Wow – I can’t belive the 132 4 family Degraw Street House even got 1.295 – that’s amazing – the sellers made out like bandits b/c the pic of the house on Trulia is “ok”!
Does this metric have a version where the foreclosure ppties are excluded? Foreclosure or not, this is a good sign. But it would be interesting to see what it is excluding the foreclosure ppties
Sorry, I wonder how much it will hopefully sell for I should say…assuming they go to close…
Hey…remember this place…? Went into contract on May 13th according to Streeteasy…wonder how much it sold for.

LOL, 11217…that gay dollar is getting more and more important to the economy. I spent a bunch of them in 2007 in the ghetto!!! 🙂
