1.8 million for a 4 story brownstone on a place street in Carroll Gardens is as cheap as it gets. The block is gorgeous and that counts for a lot. If this were a nice brownstone in good condition it would be going for 2.5 million easy. This will sell. Unfortunately, as a four family, it will probably go to a developer who will try to build up in order to support this price.
I think the marathon will keep most people away from the open houses this Sunday.
Montrose Morris:
I always look for your comments about Crown Heights, and I was sure that you would weigh in on the Park Place house. This is another CH beauty, and I remember it vaguely from my childhood as standing among other private houses around Brower Park where my friends lived. I’m happy to hear the CH Historic District may be extended in this direction, because there are many architecturally prime blocks in the vicinity.
Keep up your vigilance and beat back the CH naysayers. As I wrote in an earlier post to you (re. Pacific Street mansion), when my mother grew up in Park Slope during the 20’s (on a “name” street, no less) CH was considered superior to her neighborhood. No doubt CH is gaining on PS — and with good reasons: this house, others like it, and guardians like you, among them.
Nostalgic on Park Avenue
The carroll Gardens listing is pretty nice considering it is in one of the best locations in NYC and on a wonderful block. To the guy saying ZZZZZZZZZZZ no park slope listings you must realize Park slope is only one of 8 brownstone nabs and thats all it is one of them, no better
Hey, I agree it’s way expensive, and I also agree it will be a long and hard sell.
Just how does one price a one of a kind house, though? As I said before, we currently have about 4 of these one of a kind, free standing mansions on the market in CHN, and three of them are asking over a million, actually, all three are asking about the same price. They are all very different, and in very different parts of CHN, which offer different challenges and good and bad points. None of them are row houses, some are on bigger lots than others, and etc, etc.
I guess the rules go out the window. If some deep pocketed person loves the house, and sees the vast potential of the neighborhood, over what may be its down points, they will buy. If not, the prices will have to go down to where us normal people are. They won’t ever be cheap – the person who wrote $800K for this is delusional.
oh please do 6:10, please do.
The Crown Heights house is simply beautiful. I might come to Brooklyn this weekend
The wt house has been on the market for almost a year, and was originally listed when the house next door was for sale – both owned by the same owner. The house next door was renovated, some corners cut, but fairly nice. It was listed at approx 200k more than 1609, which, imho, is a ~500k reno. Fast forward to the current listing – just reduced from a couple of weeks ago, but still higher than it was listed for last winter; new agency, which btw, has a few house listings that are at least a year old, and whose prices have gone up, down, up, down, etc. When you get a chance, look up the last sale on the wt house, just for laughs – the current owner picked it up at an estate sale for a lot less, and is looking to flip and make a very nice return. How much return do you all think it is worth? Oh, by the way, the last broker claimed that the reno could be done for 150k….not!
996 St. Johns was a Brownstoner House of the Day. It sold for 93k ABOVE ask.
