1116 is on the other side of Beverley–so it is actually Beverley Square West, not Prospect Park South.
Still, nice location despite the terrible listing.

Hey, that breakfast nook in the Cobble Hill place is an early Greek Revival breakfast nook. Stop your laughing.
wow- PATTI, SERIOUSLY? you post a photo of a house you are trying to sell for over 1mil, and you have a tree covering 2/3 of the house in the picture? I think kids that are interns in real estate firms, renting apartments on craigslist, are more savy than you when it comes to try to make people come to the open house. good luck, get the axe ready to chop the price or invest $100 in a digital camera!!!
I know the listing but haven’t been inside. Just curious, what needs work or what is the issue? I thought it was renovated (opened up the back to let in light from the south facing garden) and its 25 feet.
Not trying to argue, just trying to understand where you are coming from. Thanks in advance.

I saw it last year, so things may have changed, but it suffers from having been renovated relatively early in the transformation of Brooklyn (probably in the early 90’s). As a result, the “renovated” kitchen and bathroom are pretty dated and unappealing (particularly the bathroom, which had a real late 80’s/early 90’s vibe to it). The back had been opened up, which was great for the light, but the style also looked dated (it really looks like something done a while ago, and is not of the same quality of something done in the past decade). Finally, the top floors (other than the bathroom) seemed more or less unrenovated — they also had pretty warped floors and weird, dated built-ins. Didn’t see the rental floor, as it was occupied at the time. The building has potential — location is great (although it does face a pretty institutional building), but really seems like it needed a “refresh” to make it comparable to other properties in its price range.

Biff – bfarwell is covering for me today:
“But hey, for 1.1, that’s a great tree. I bought a tree half that size in PS a couple years ago and it cost me 2.3mil. And it had rent-stabilized squirrels.”
192 President street is identical and sold for 2.225 in January 2009. Made into 2 condos and recently sold for a total of 4.7 In light of these facts, the price does not seem too crazy.
I thought Tompkins Pl was insanely overpriced, then I read
“Property Features – Deck, Yard, Fireplace, Washer-Dryer, Storage”
Since it’s got washer-dryer & storage, I’ll take it for 3.45

Agreed that properties in CH/CG/BH seem to be in hot demand — but that demand seems spotty and very much focused on the more renovated end of the spectrum. Fancy houses (e.g., 210 Bergen) go like hotcakes for high prices, while homes that need more work or may have issues (e.g., 142 Dean) seem to sit.
