243 Marlborough Road listed with Century 21? Don’t see it there, but do see it still listed at BP for $745K
Backs up to the Q train, which is a negative (not to mention the ugly interior).
“All it had going for it, compared to 108 Berkeley, was 3 feet more in width.”
And another 1200 square feet.
bk14….Interesting cause it looks so much narrower than most brownstones to me. I guess you’re right.
Seems like they got a good deal. Great news. It’s an amazing block.
I agree, lechacal. The funny thing is that 108 Berkeley, in my opinion, needed more work and had less charm and character than 150 Berkeley. All it had going for it, compared to 108 Berkeley, was 3 feet more in width.
“That is my block on Berkeley. The price seems more rational than the recent price for 108 Berkeley (for which I think the buyers overpaid).”
150 Berkeley is 2880sf and sold for 1.5 million = $520psf
108 Berkeley is 4096sf and sold sold for 2.4 million = $585psf
Not really that big of a difference, Lechacal.
“To be fair though, the Berkeley Place house is REALLY narrow and needed quite a bit of work (from what I heard).”
Berkeley Place house is 16’7 wide. Same width as many of the houses currently on the market in Park Slope (including 599 5th, 448 6th, 557 7th), asking between $2.2-$2.4 million.
I saw this house and it needed some cosmetic work, but it was in no way a gut reno. It had beautiful detail throughout and was solid.
I think the Warren Street seller did pretty well considering the condition, size (18×35) and location (east of Court and next to an asphalt-shingle special). Still, it has lots of potential for someone with the budget to do a nice renovation.
Fillmore is a good place to start looking for fixer-uppers in the brownstone areas.
As an aside, why do they list fuel and insurance prices on their listings but not taxes? Bizarre.
I heard the Warren St place needs at least a half million in renovation, its in such bad shape.
ah – I thought you were being tongue and cheek 😉
yeah I saw pics on their website and it looked pretty bad
but Vinnie said it was – well that’s a steal at 1.1 for the buyers on Warren btwn court and smith is a great street
