Also saw the Park Place house last weekend. The owner’s duplex layout is completely upside-down and the kitchen is bizarrely set on a raised island with cheap countertops and a half-size Viking stove. Something just seemed very odd about the whole place. It was obvious someone spent some money on a modern reno (bathrooms were decent) but made surprisingly poor choices with the configuration. $1.7M is already a big stretch for this place in this environment, and factoring in the cost to undo what has been done, well, the math doesn’t make any sense.
Pigeon, it’s pretty desolate. A few blocks north and you’re in civilization, though.
for someone purported to be informed and in the market, you sure dont use the free resources available. streeteasy shows the prior listing price of 1.895. i bet a call to the broker would get the full story. just sayin’.
it looks like it’s in relatively nice shape, but the odd layout will require needle in the haystack buyer or cost a pretty penny to fix.
“405 Smith Street… is one crappy looking building.”

Crappy looking indeed, at least from Google Street View.
I’ve never been to that part of Smith.
What’s it like?
1253 Carroll St was an open house pick last October, when it was asking $750K.
Google Street View shows a Corcoran sign on 405 Smith Street. That is one crappy looking building.
I visited 17 Park Place last weekend.
Not a lot of bang for your buck.
The buyer could build a deck from the duplex to the garden, and move the kitchen to the parlor level.
Then the place would be nice.
But that would take some work.
Oh miss muffet you are so wrong.
Park Place was on market about a year ago I believe, and indeed, it has a bizarre top floor kitchen for owners. Anyone remember when they were asking previously? Whatever it was, they clearly did not get their price then and can’t see how they will now…
