  1. “ugliest building in brownstone Brooklyn”

    sorry man, but then you’ve never walked by marcy houses, gowanus houses, or any of the other horrible bombed out looking buildings in other parts of brownstone brooklyn.

    this one is pretty darn ugly, but it gets a whole lot worse than this.

    at least this one isn’t a drug and crime infested pit like many of the other eyesores in the borough.

  2. re: 4:14’s comment – oh jeez, here we go with the broker type perpetuating the myth of the 3 million norm. Check out some comps (and not just the exception, not the rule kind that brokers like to point out) instead of believing this garbage. 1.4 million in this part of Park Slope (not “prime”) can certainly buy you more than this piece of crap.

  3. According to google maps, there’s a housing project 0.65 miles away from Garden Place. NO WAY will they get that price. And what’s up with that name, anyway? Must be a broker euphemism. “Garbage Place” is more like it – only 0.28 miles to the garbage barges floating by on the oil-slick we call the East River.

    Plus, whoever called that 2100 square foot matchbox a “humbler” sure is right. God, how embarassing to tell Tyler and Madison that they can’t have a live-in nanny AND housecleaner because they only have 4 bedrooms.

  4. Holy crap! If it is only 35 ft deep then the building could not possibly have more than 1700 sq. ft., unless there is an extension. But it says that the building has a 65 ft deep garden so no extension. So where could the possibly be getting the extra 500 sq. ft.. At 1700 sq. ft. this place is going for no more than $700,000.

    There have been homes in DP in exactly this sort of condition that of sold in the 1 million to 1.1 million range. This house will get close to ask. It may not be as big as some DP and PPS homes, but it is far from small (try heating it). Check the sales section of MKG website for comps.

    There have been a few sales a notch under the 1 million mark (one house is a bungalow in need of much more work that this, as well as smaller, so not the same situation).

    Houses dripping in detail with new renos have price tags starting at 1 million. Less expensive houses, and smaller houses, frequently have the most aggressive bidding – they are easier to heat and maintain. The larger, more lavish homes start at around 1.5, and these tend to need another 500k worth of work.

    This house may be dated in terms of decor, but the house is in walking distance of Cortelyou road and in the catchment area of either 217 or 139. This house will sell for at or near ask. Remember all the nay saying about the house on Marlborough in DPW. Well, go look at MGK web site. It went to contract pretty darn quick.

  6. “Anyone else think there’s an uglier building bounded by 4th ave, PPW, Flatbush and the Prospect Expwy?”

    Funny thing though…how many ugly buildings are there like this in ft. greene, prospect heights, bed stuy, crown heights and clinton hill?

    what 4:09 says is true. if this is the ugliest building in park slope, that says a lot for the neighborhood.

    i can think of 20 buildings this ugly in most other brownstone neighborhoods.

    starting with “the real” projects.
