427 is only 16 1/2 feet wide
418 Tenth street sold a fews months back for $1,975,000. If the house updated and well appointed it will sell quickly. I know first hand how much money and time it takes to renovate.
I was also shocked at the Summit Street price, as it isn’t the ideal location, although not bad. The house, at least the owner’s duplex was completely redone, as was the facade, but the back garden was small because some garage type building owned by an adjoining property sat on part of it (have no idea how that came to be). I don’t think there have been many Carroll Gardens homes breaking the $2 million mark, and I was surprised this was one of them.
According to StreetEasy the Summit Street property was listed in August for 2.2m and was taken off the market in November. $2.094m is a damn good price for that place far away from the Subway and right on the BQE.

So at least 3 of them sold FOR the asking price.
Sounds like a pretty healthy market to me.
That Park Slope place…10th Street for almost 2 million was a good price. Didn’t know South Slope was commanding that sortof dough.
Nice to know.

11:43 has it right about 394 Pacific. (I am a neighbor.) I believe the house was purchased by an architecht who wants to make it his personal crown jewel. No significant detail is left inside, but the fundamental structure is sound. The deep backyards on the south side of Pacific are also very beautiful.
The history on the Brooklyn Hts sale is that the seller of the $10 million Columbia Hts house bought that after she sold Col.Heights. She hated living there because of cazy neighbors, put it on the market and some poor sucker just bought it after 2 or 3 deals fell thru on it. All it takes is one chump and sellers price accordingly.
The very tight inventory accounts at least partially for the continued high prices. Nerves about the market mean people are holding off selling if they don’t need to, thus keeping the prices at such high levels.
