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.

This house is worth 10 million for the buyer due to the proximity to the temple. I have heard they have there own private security force
Why is it that when people express their opinion about something that you don’t happen to agree with their envious? Why can’t they just be stating the obvious…or what’s obvious in in their minds?
Just wondering.
Crescent Hill is on the money with his 10:50 post. I used to work for a Syrian Catering Hall on Ocean PKWY and avenue T. They only use a couple of brokers in the area and you can ONLY buy within those blocks these days if you’re a part of the community. The houses only pass from one Syrian Jewish family to another and unless you’re part of that community, the local brokers will not show you the houses.
” I think there is alot of envy running through Brownstoner today.”
no doubt – so this place isn’t worth 10 million dollars because it isn’t near a bunch of mediocre restaurants and crappy bars on 5th ave? oooookay
This home was likely transacted from one Syrian Jewish family to another. It is located in a well kept sub-section of Gravesend which is a tightly knit ethnic enclave. I believe other posters have commented about the home pricing in this sub-section on prior posts. The pricing here is certainly not representative of the overall market in the surrounding area and in my opinion , it is the result of insular real estate practices.
Between this thread and the one about the Meier building, I think there is alot of envy running through Brownstoner today.
What the house looks like and size is secondary. The buyer is likely part of the established Syrian Jew community in that area. So the primary cause of the high price is (drum roll please…..)
location.
Shocker! $10 mil for a Gravesend house or Central Park West condo. Guess which they will choose 99.99% of the time? The other .01 will be excommunicated.
It’s georgian, dh. i wouldn’t call it pimpish. Don’t know what the inside looks like though.
