That row of brownstones on Adelphi is very handsome.
The sale price for a Fort Greene house seems very “strong” to me…but that’s me. Maybe this sale price is actually a discount to what it would have sold for a year and a half ago.
A decade or two ago our minds would have been absolutely blown by these kind of numbers!…but I guess between inflation, the “mutant asset real estate bubble” and the improvements in Fort Greene, people are very much willing to pay good prices for our area.
Good.
adelphi street is not a house it is a multiple dwelling. It is a four-unit building.
there is a very interesting spiral staircase to nowhere in the adelphi pl. weird.
3960 sq/ft would make a lot more sense.
Gowanus, this has been well covered. Please pay attention. People sell their Upper West Side one bedroom condos for $10 billion, and then they buy six $1 billion houses in Brooklyn Heights (one for the maids) with plenty left over for renovations.
Adelphi house is 3,960 sq. ft, not 2,960. I know a few folks who bought houses that big on nice blocks for 1.8 unrenovated in 2007. So, it maybe that someone really fell in love with the reno.
“Go Fort Greene! That is a pretty big price tag”.
Ditto that wasder. Our hood is really something these days. Even with the recession and downturn prices here have been really strong.
Hey dope, thanks for your stats on FG…okay still bearish here but those are some impressive #s especially considering that house faces the school and playground.
BHO, from names of buyers, perhaps.
And 47th street sold for 13% higher than late 2007.
“Sunset park is the new Gravesend.”
