Priciest Brooklyn Sale of '09 is in Gravesend!
Holy moly! The sale of 2111 East 2nd Street in Gravesend for $10.26 million just hit public records, and although the price tag isn’t high enough to make it a Brooklyn record, it’s definitely the biggest sale of this year, and probably one of the top 10 or so biggest house sales in the borough…
Holy moly! The sale of 2111 East 2nd Street in Gravesend for $10.26 million just hit public records, and although the price tag isn’t high enough to make it a Brooklyn record, it’s definitely the biggest sale of this year, and probably one of the top 10 or so biggest house sales in the borough ever. (Houses in Brooklyn Heights, for example, have traded for more.) Here are the specs on 2111 East 2nd from Property Shark: It’s an 8,206-square-foot one-family house that was built in 1998. The buyer of the manse was cloaked behind an LLC.

Benson…thanks for the kind words. And there are many people who think brownstones are over rated and would never buy one. I respect that and don’t think your envious of someone who happens to own one. I love brownstones…grow-up in one actually but I can understand your position and opinion.
this being a 10 million dollar house is not any crazier than a brownstone being a 2 or 3 million dollar house

More stupidity.
lol, Benson…..it must be torture to visit the site as much as you do!
Pete;
All of the factors you talked about in your post -“Too close to this, too far from that, too much traffic, not the right layout, too narrow, awful kitchen” are legitimate real estate pricing issues.
That is a far cry from being incredulous that other forms of real estate could fetch a pretty penny, and then impugning the owner.
CHL;
You seem like a nice person, and I’m sure you mean what you write. However, I’m not convinced of what you say. I’ll draw on my own experience (and perhaps that is not applicable to everyone else). When I have no interest in a type of real estate, I do not study its pricing, and therefore I don’t feel qualified to make a comment on it. For instance, you’d have to put a gun to my head to buy a brownstone (sorry folks, that’s the way I feel). As such, you will never see me commenting on the price of brownstones on this site.
Shameful….maybe….but be careful you guys. The wrong oinions can get you in trouble.
Personally I think the houses here, in Williamsburgh and in Crown Heights are perfect.
Rob…lol.
Wine Lover…you can’t be serious!
Benson is RIGHT of course.
this being a 10 million dollar house is not any crazier than a brownstone being a 2 or 3 million dollar house
okay seriously if what that poster said is true that brokers will ONLY show you the house if you are part of ‘the community’. why is this discrimination even allowed and overlooked? it’s illegal yet a blind eye is put on the disgraceful discriminatory practise. BARF! i hope this house gets bedbugs
*rob*
Kensingtonian….simply shameful.
