We normally include four Open House Picks but, as has been noted in recent market reports, the number of listings is clearly dropping—we couldn’t find a single compelling open house scheduled for this weekend that we hadn’t already covered at some point. Interesting. Update: A reader pointed us towards the Glenwood Road listing so that now rounds out the foursome.
Well, Brownstoner, you could start putting up some picks that are slightly more affordable. Last time I asked about this you replied that there was a problem getting addresses. I don’t know. I’ve gone to broker websites and had no problems getting the addresses of all kinds of houses priced under $1M.
That Windsor Terrace house is very poorly staged. Too much clutter in the pictures.
The 14th St carriage house is just a raw space, really just an outbuilding, so to turn it into anything habitable would take an investment. I suppose it could be attractive for an artist studio/musician, but not attractive enough to merit the delusional price (I wonder if the new owner had some arty aspirations for that building, and then realized they were financially in over their heads – it’s a real head-scratcher…)
I lived on that block of 6th Street until last year, and I disagree – it’s lovely. Lots of the owners have been there since the 70’s and they take good care of the block. The hospital doesn’t cause any undue trouble, though there are more trucks going down the street than usual.
I love the way that 14th street place looks, but I have the feeling there is some deception in the presentation about the carriage house. No bathroom, no kitchen, no photos.
It’s another weekend for knuckle biting…if you’re an owner. And it’s about time.
Last years WT prices are looking a bit silly now. There is no way George Costanza’s parents could afford that place.
That’s a grand stoop on the Park Slope house.
6th Street was JUST reduced the additional $70K. That’s why Brownstoner has it listed at $2.495 million.
Besides being narrow, 6th St layout is awkward – why on earth would I want to have kitchen on garden level and dining on parlor? What a shlep when I have dinner guests! I know this might have been the old-fashioned way to do things, but does not fit lifestyles of most people today. Price is still way too high.
The 14th St owners must be completely delusional. I’d feel sorry for them if it wasn’t just so bizarre that they feel it makes sense to list it at that price.

Also, Mr. B, come on, you really can’t find a 4th open house you’ve not covered? What about:

I think the price is ridiculous (it just sold for 1.4 very recently, so asking for so much more is absurd) but it’s an interesting property to discuss…
