For the record, today we went to contract at the asking price for 191 Washington Park. If a property is priced fairly, it does not take long to sell , and the internet allows FSBO sales that were not possible only a few years ago. I am indebted to this site and the vibrant realestate community in Brooklyn for our success.
The St. Johns house has some gorgeous details, has the grandest formal dining room ever, but I agree with the person who pointed out the one owner’s one sole bathroom with the weird layout. And yes the kitchen is small. I had a hard time imagining who would spend that much to live in that particular duplex. Lastly, I LOVE the idea of vinylsider.com! Hysterical. That’s my price range too, so bring it on man. I’d love to see more discussion of how to turn South Slope vinylsiders into nice single family houses. Let’s see photos from someone who did that.
heard they have an offer at asking already
curious if anyone has seen the house at 308 carlton and can compare to this one. same price, carlton block of course doesnt have ‘signature” of washington park but also a four family with detail on parlor floor
any thoughts?
thanks!
I saw the Ft. Greene house and thought it was intriguing. The owners haven’t lived there in many years but the place is in great shape/good tenants which reflects well on the sellers. The location is amazing and even on a rainy day, the place was filled with light – a tricky thing in a lot of these tall thin places. I think they’ll fetch their asking price or higher. I for one would be happy to start with a clean slate on the kitchen. I’ve been looking for 2 years and haven’t seen a single renovated kitchen that I like. It’s easier to tear out that little one and really easy to knock down the wall and expand it. I wish this was in my range.
To Mr. Justathought – I think you should be a little more careful in your posting – while people on this site criticize bad development which is a problem in Brooklyn I dont remember seeing anything anti-American or even anti-Bush – its easy to lump in things that don’t belong together or to exaggerate and I think this might the case here.
Sorry but St. Johns is not a good block. Not worth that price tag to anybody in the know about the north slope. What, did all the section 8 housing just disappear in the N. Slope? I don’t think so. Center Slope has much more charm and value. Just not a lot of sales there because people hang on to their property longer in that area.
To the person who thinks these prices are coming down 25 percent, good luck to you, you won’t be buying any time soon, I guess.
yes, registration sucked! it was the same four people dominating every thread. negative selection to the core. evertyhing was “development sucks, politicians suck, big business sucks, capitalism sucks, George Bush sucks, America sucks….yada, yada, yada. enough, we get it already! so boring… Zzzzzzzzzzzz….
