the two houses on “south slope” is not in the slope at all!!! its in Gowanus canal!
I saw 56 16 street a couple weeks ago: creepy with one or two nice details. 68 16th looks much, MUCH better but of course there’s tenant. That block is depressing with big condo monstrosities on one end and Prospect express/3rd ave wastes at other.
I saw 301 Baltic couple weeks ago. I think it is great. But it is not the elegant Victorian of most of Brownstone brooklyn. A bit older – from 1840’s and takes someone into that simpler style. Plenty of original detail. I think quite a bargain. Yes, good use some redo – but certainly very livable as is. I did’t see garden rental. Very quiet back even if street side not quietest. Very convenient location.
sorry for the double post — I got a message saying I needed to try again after the first post.
If anyone buys the century 21 house within 20% of that asking price, please send them my way – I have a bridge for sale. Got to be f&^%ing nuts to pay that kind of money for a place with a rent controlled tenant on the second floor. This house should be trading at a $350,000 discount to the 56 16th street house which is also overpriced in this market by about $150,000. Haven’t these people heard that the bubble is over?

Cobble Hill house: The blocks okay except that almost the entire south side of the street (really, approximately 75% of the block between baltic and butler)is taken up by a school and an extensive playground. I suspect that incomplete blocks may carry a separate discount. Pricing may also reflect both market reality and a motivated seller.
The cobble hill house is cheap, but here are the negatives from my memory of an open house (when it was priced considerably higher).. the house is shallow (2500 sq ft and you only live in 1800 of it), and is brick filled frame(?), and is opposite a school chain link fence on a dusty block between two retail strips, so not really the tree lined cobble hill that we like. That is about it. The garden is actually nicer than the picture suggests.
There is a lot of unused FAR but that would mean tearing into an 1840s place.
What am I missing Re the 16th street houses? The Century 21 listing is much larger and much nicer than the BHS one, and 50K cheaper. Considering that they are practically next door to each other, what gives? It it just different “pricing strategies”?
Personally they both seem overpriced–given the location I’d say 899K for the C21 listing and 850K for the BHS listing, max.
