you could have a lovely limestone Across the Park (PLG) for a lot less than Sherman Street. Overpriced, I’d say, for WT.
oops, here it is . . .

If its just painted, then you’re right. I assuming some renovation here. It may just be that they are glossing over the bad stuff with paint. Im sure that will come out in the wash when it sells.
But its still just as classic as a brownstone despite your dislike of lighter stone.
I don’t have time to do search for you, but here’s an awesome house that blows Sherman out of the water in Park Slope, near the park for 2.15m . . . Considering the work Sherman needs, these are about equal in price . . . and there’s no way you could turn Sherman into this place. . .

Also, I don’t think many of the 3-stories in Park Slope are 20″ wide. On a top Slope block, this amount of square footage in good condition would definitely net over $2M. And I like the bay windows on Sherman. No, it doesn’t match the classic flat-fronted brownstone look (neither does, say, a Montgomery Place mansion), but I can’t imagine that limits the field of buyers very much, if at all.
Does seem overpriced, tho — maybe by a couple hundred grand?
Sherman Street looks a bit overpriced to me – nearly $1.9M??? It’s a small house, and although it’s near the park, it’s a helluva commute to Manhattan. Usually Warren Lewis underprices properties, so I’m particularly surprised at this one. If it sells, I will have seriously underestimated the Windsor Terrace market!
Anon 6:00pm,
The Sherman house does not appear to have been renovated/restored. It appears to have just been moderately fixed up.
To install central AC and hide all the ducts alone is a ton of work. These folks clearly did not do the work to merrit such a high price.
A gutt renovation of the mechanics, bathrooms, and kitchen, would cost at least 300k, probably more. A good paint job, which for some reason is pointed out in the description, doesn’t mean jack.
In the low 2m’s, you can find homes in Park Slope, in more convenient areas, also close to the park.
Pls show me a 20×100 renovated brownstone/limestone on a good PS block, walking distance to the park and subway for less than 2M. Im not trying to arguementative but I can tell you they do not exist – trust me, I have looked!
For 2M in park slope you have to buy a place that needs a lot of reno, is a long walk from the park and usually has something else major wrong with it.
Anon 5:20 – the Sherman St. house is a 3-story, so it wouldn’t be going for twice as much in Park Slope. Even in Center Slope, a 3-story, however nicely done, is generally just under the 2 mil. mark. That block of Sherman St. is one of the most desirable in WT, but I think it’s a stretch to be pricing this only slightly less than what it would fetch on a top Slope block.
