615 Third Street GMAP (left)
When this 4,552-square-foot brick and limestone two-family was a House of the Day in February, it was asking $3.8 million; the price was cut to $3.4 mil the next month. The house, which was built by an architect for himself in 1899, last sold for $2,850,000 in mid-2006. Entered into contract on 4/21/09; closed on 5/28/09; deed recorded on 6/10/09.
2. FORT GREENE $2,250,000
316 Cumberland Street GMAP (right)
House o’ the Day writeup on this in April, when it was listed for $2,295,000, went as follows: “316 Cumberland Street has a huge parlor floor to die for, with intricate plaster ceilings and an extension that houses the modern kitchen. The house has also been upgraded recently with all new systems and windows as well. It’s being used as a one-family but the ground-floor can easily be converted to a rentable apartment. All this sounds great but it will be interesting to see if it can pull off a price that’s similar to some of the nicer homes currently on the market in Park Slope.” Question answered. Entered into contract on 5/7/09; closed on 6/1/09; deed recorded on 6/12/09.

I’m sure we would love each other in real life, Noki. I’m not nearly as obnoxious in person, and I’m actually a fan of all of the moms and kids in the neighborhood. They don’t bother me one bit, and I’m known to help a stroller mom in need down the stairs nearly every morning at Grand Army Plaza train stop. 😉
I’ll keep you posted if I hear of anything else around…the neighbors all talk, so occasionally I hear about a house going up for sale before it’s even listed.
So far I think 10 people OTHER THAN brickoven have accurately defined outliers. He’s just mentioned a bestseller.
Dirty Hipster, I heard the same thing from MY cop friend (a girl, tho, but they probably work in the same precinct). And apparently they’re emptying the whitman houses out in some nefarious plot to convert them to some other more financially lucrative use. Which is disgusting and repellent and no matter how bad the stigma of PJs is, the people in the larger FT G community shouldnt stand for that kind of mass eviction. bUt that’s another topic. Anyway . . .
Noki, this is exactly what you DONT want but I still think its a pretty cool house.

But that’s exactly what I want and want it in that location, iz.
I just don’t have the time for a renovation right now. maybe in a year or so.
Nokilissa:
It’s probably a little farther into Center Slope than you might like, but have you seen this one…?

statistics schmatistics. Tell me what you’re wearing.
“Has anybody in here ever taken a statistics class?”
aren’t outliers +/- 2 standard deviations from the mean in a bell curve? I hated stats class.
11217, you’re kidding! We coulda been neighbors! 😉
You are lucky sir. That is one gorgeous block. Maybe some day we’ll run into each other and not even know it. I’ll be the really, really, REALLY polite and respectful stroller mom with the exceedingly handsome and nearly unbelievably well-behaved young boys in tow. 🙂 Honest!
Has anybody in here ever taken a statistics class? I know many of you are in the arts but let me explain something to you. When you are looking at the most expensive sales of a group it is by definition the outliers. People read a Malcolm Gladwell book and think they are math wizards 🙂
