4:09 – sorry but I disagree with the potential of one ugly building to mar a street. Buyers who are paying over a million dollars do not want to live next to the ugliest building in brownstone Brooklyn. It’s just too damn depressing since you have walk by it and look at it constantly. Locations in NYC are well known for varying significantly from block to block and if you are going to sell a house on one of the crappier blocks in an otherwise beautiful neighborhood, you can’t expect to price it as if were a typical nice block in that neighborhood. As others have pointed out, this house is small and near 4th Ave – that would be reason enough to ask for less. But the fact that they are asking this much across the street from this eyesore is pretty shocking.
4:07….if it were bigger and on a more desirable block of park slope it would be 3 million dollars.
why do you think you should get the same thing for 1/3 the price?
do you not understand the concept of “you get what you pay for”
this is what you get for 1.4 million in park slope.
just like that’s how much it costs to get a 1 bedroom apt. in the west village.
“Anyone else think there’s an uglier building bounded by 4th ave, PPW, Flatbush and the Prospect Expwy?”
yeah, whichever one you live in.
just kidding.
seriously though…it’s pretty darn ugly. but i don’t think one ugly buildings brings down a whole neighborhood…or even a street. every neighborhood has a few ugly buildings.
it’s only more noticeble here because park slope is so freakin beautiful.
Here’s another problem with the 10th Street house – it’s only 35 feet deep. Even if were on the most beautiful block in PS, that’s a major downside. Yet another reason the price is absurd.
That Mitchell Lama building is seriously the ugliest building in all of Park Slope. So out of context with everything else in the neighborhood – the size, the elevated parking lot, the concrete and brown brick. It makes the Novo look like a treasure. On my way to the YMCA (a beautiful building a block away) I often look at it with the sun setting behind it and wonder how such a turd got built. Not trying to drive down the price. Just think this building is the neighborhood’s worst eyesore. Anyone else think there’s an uglier building bounded by 4th ave, PPW, Flatbush and the Prospect Expwy?
There now that the truth is out there for all to know, now try to sell for that ridiculous price.
Fourth Avenue is in Park Slope the way Myrtle Avenue is in Brooklyn Heights.
next to square feet, realtors love to have fun with neighborhood names the most.
I’m 3:45 – While I like “south slope” I must confess it’s because of the deals to be had there (and 10th St house does not seem to be one of them). Of course, I’d rather live in prime slope near the park if I could afford it. Another worry of mine is toxicity – since you are getting very close to Gowanus. Does anyone know of any environmental studies that have been done to measure that kind of thing? And what about 4th Ave – I know right now it’s pretty gross but does anyone have a better sense of its future? I feel as though the brokers talk up the change that’s underfoot but I also worry about how real that is, or how long it will take. I have small children and would worry about them being exposed to lots of toxins/pollution during the 10-15 years we’re waiting for “change”.
A lot of super-rich folks live in Forest Hills.
It is Money Central.
Of course it ain’t no Tenth St and Fourth ave.
