Maly, ha! Matrix-like dreamstate.
Yeah, broadwayron, that is a freakin’ basement! Oh lord.
Listen, I do not blame anyone for trying to get what they can. But, even if they put money into this place, this price is just not .. . . I just cannot see any reasonable justification for this price. I mean, it’s not a waterfront shack in Malibu, is it?
There’s clearly been a glitch in the Matrix .. . .
Nomi, your post jarred me out of my Matrix-like dreamstate; 400K for a 650sf shack, overlooking a parking lot. It’s weird to even think it’s a good deal, but never mind that because the seller wants 650K. OK, back to regular programming.
Nomi-
They had a bed next to the utility closet, but it would have been a pretty unsuitable bedroom. It was “finished”, but still felt very much like a basement. And… I’m short (like, 5’8″) and I hit my head when I entered the stairs to go downstairs.
broadwayron, What was the basement like? Was it really usable as living space? Pleasantly?
I still cannot get over the “priced to sell” in the listing. I’m just not getting this one. It’s a one-bedroom shack! I mean, it’s cute, or could be cute. Nothing is wrong with it. But $650,000 = priced to sell????
I too am NOT one to think everything is overpriced!
But this would be a stretch in Brooklyn Heights.
Yeah, $400K sounds right to me too.
No, actually, it sounds mad. But I’m supposed to be a free marketer who understands that a shack can cost $400k in the right location .. . . ..
Interesting, broadwayron. I wanted to look at that house today (yesterday) too, but couldn’t make it.
I went to the SS OH… wow, not much to like there, from what I saw. As I figured, the Corcoran pics make it look way better than reality- you could live in it as-is, but I think it needs about 75K worth of work, and I didn’t even look at the deck. Next to the place, there’s currently open space, but it’s gonna be a driveway which leads to a parking lot, which the deck will overlook.
I think this is only worth maybe 400K, and I’m not one of those folks who think everything is overpriced. This place just has so many strikes against it. And, it’s really small.
SS house is cute; I love small houses. But if the yard and location aren’t great they have to cut the price to that of 1BR apts or condos to sell. There are full, true 2BR apts for sale on nice blocks far better located in prime Park Slope for this same price. It doesn’t matter this is a house. This property because it’s so small competes for the same buyers as apts/condos, not with brownstone buyers.
the froth is building up cause 650k for that cute but tiny house is expensive. comparing it to more expensive condo options makes it a relatively LESS expensive option but doesnt make it a good deal.
It’s legitimate to count a basement — a cellar, not a garden level! — in square footage?
The 16th St. basement might be nicely finished, but it’s a basement! The “windows” are tiny basement windows with the majority of the space subterranean. You could not rent it out, right?
I don’t know, legal or not, I think it’s pushing things and I do not consider that house priced to sell. I find less than 600 square feet in the above ground space. There’s the terrace, which of course is worth something, but still.
