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.

  1. “DIBS” what are you two dating? Iz is English youre second language? You are saying a lot of stuff that I think must be lost in translation?

    brickoven, NOT ONE OF THOSE SENTENCES MAKES SENSE.

  2. I also think those of you who are dismissing this as indicating nothing important in the “higher end” market are kidding yourselves. These were two surprisingly high and quick sales which will be watched and definitely used for comps by buyers, sellers and agents alike.

    EXACTLY.

  3. BY AN AQUAINTANCE?????!!!!!??!?!?!?!!!

    The most disturbing crime reported this week was a rape outside Applebee’s at 395 Flatbush Extension on Wednesday night. A 30-year-old woman was treated at Woodhull Hospital after being raped and robbed of her cell phone and cash by an acquaintance.

  4. There are many reasons why someone HAS to sell. far fewer reasons someone HAS to buy. Is there even a legit reason why someone HAS to buy? This doesn’t need to be a debate about over all mkt drop or not. It’s really about can the prospective buyers here find that seller who HAS to sell and sell at a low price. Other than that, we’re really debating for the fun of it

  5. Why are so many people so rude to / about Miss Muffett? Her view is clearly somewhat extreme, but she always seems to express herself politely. She is often not treated with the same courtesy in return.
