  1. The 14th street house was bought in 2004 for $320,000, according to PropertyShark. How much went into the renovation to allow them to offer it at more than a 6 fold increase in price?? Plus, what is the right rate of inflation of park slope houses for the past 4 years?

  2. Say what you want about the 14th Street house but having an outbuilding like a carriage house is a huge selling point and incredible luxury for many (Studio space for an artist or musician, office space for a work at homer, guest suite for someone with frequent out of town guests)

  3. The 14th street house is sweet, but Charrette renovates all the houses with basement kitchens, and I also wonder why that is. (And they also stage them all with the same furniture and rugs.) Maybe their trying to stay in line with the way the house was originally put together? These typically didnt have kitchen plumbing on the ‘double parlor’. Check out the rental ads for this place on the Charrette site to see the stages of renovation- they essentially tore a parlor side kitchen out to get it into selling shape.

    One question- what condition is that carriage house in? If it’s renovated- that’s your 2nd family rental, and that’s an even better setup for a 2 family situation.

  4. Brownstoner, can you revive the 6 months later feature for HOTD and open house picks? 14th St is exactly the kind of house that would be interesting to follow. There was that house across the street that started at 1.895 and wound up at 1.595, pre-Bear Sterns, so it really will be telling to see what this sells for.

  5. 8 reasons why 14th st is over valued

    1. The block is ugly
    2. $1,995,000
    3. The second floor “sitting room” is a waste of space
    4. $1,995,000
    5. Its a 1 family in a 2 family body
    6. $1,995,000
    7 Its two doors from a Foot Locker
    8. Its July 18 2008 and you’re listing it for $1,995,000

  6. I agree about the strange choice to put the kitchen on the garden level at 14th street. So now they have identical twin sitting areas on the parlor level, and a dark, low-ceilinged kitchen…hm.

  7. East 17th is actually a pretty block. Unfortunately it is in Beverley Square East, which aside from South Midwood, is the least desirable of all the Victorian Flatbush neighborhoods. It’s a stone’s throw from Flatbush Avenue, many of the homes have had unfortunate renovations (including the current listing, although it’s one of few that’s suffered on that particular block). It also has one of the least active community associations. Particularly of note, the residents do not have a private security outfit operating in the neighborhood, which most others do. I live here and am not 100 percent sure how necessary the private security is, even though I subscribe, but I wouldn’t want to live in a sub-section that didn’t have that option. It would be a deal breaker for me, personally.

    People who can throw 1.4 at a house would rather buy in DPW or BSW if they can’t quite afford DP or PPS. Overpriced for BSE. Price is sure to free fall several hundred thousand.
