This sprawling Victorian Flatbush beauty was on the market for a long time. The 15-room manse was a House of the Day in September ’07, when it was listed for $2,595,000. By the time it was an Open House Pick this May, the price was down to $1,895,000. While the house sold for quite a bit less than it was initially asking, this still has to be one of the biggest sales ever in Prospect Park South. Entered into contract on 7/10/09; closed on 10/15/09; deed recorded on 10/23/09.

Hi, im a crackhead with too much money to burn. I just bought a fugly house in bumblef*ck brooklyn for 3 million bux!
*rob*
his and her garages. but I don’t think Fedders…probably central air.
The Albemarle house was used as a location in the Angelina Jolie movie “Wanted,” which should lend it some added cachet:

The owner should register with a location scout or agency if he or she needs some extra help with that $1.6M pricetag; these manses are used for film shoots with such regularity that we locals now merely yawn and say “What, Angelina again?” (The house across the street was used for Uma Thurman’s “My Super Ex-Girlfriend”…damn stars, we simply trip over them on our way to the garbage…)
Wow… it’s amazing how many square feet they could wrap up in such an ugly house! The Mill Basin house is like an ugly ranch from an old (1960s) suburb, but it’s scale is all messed up… about 10,000 additional sq ft!
The widget prediced $1.9 million for 460 2nd Street — right next door to 458 and generally pretty similar. Either readers are getting more optimistic, or the market is moving closer to the readers’ mark…
Are there 2 driveways and 4 garages on that Mill Basin house?
Ha! From the HOTD for Albemarle in ’07: “The asking price of $2,595,000 is up there but seems perfectly achievable to us given the infrequency that something like this becomes available. Agree?”
Droolworthy indeed, Mr. B.
Glad someone finally got it. What a beauty.
That’s funny, ditto. I was just thinking that Mill Basin house really does NOT look like a house. Love that Victorian in Prospect Park South. And I can’t believe the widget was actually right for once with the 8th Avenue house.
Ditto;
I think it is the Mother of All Fedder Homes, complete with Brooklyn’s Largest Curb Cut. Mr. B’s worst nightmare come true!!!
