House of the Day: 45 Park Place
This federal townhouse at 45 Park Place in Park Slope is bound to turn a lot of heads. The living and bedrooms have exquisite period detail and the kitchen and bathrooms appear to have been attractively updated. The proximity to Fifth Avenue is increasingly positive as well. That said, it’ll be interesting to see how…
This federal townhouse at 45 Park Place in Park Slope is bound to turn a lot of heads. The living and bedrooms have exquisite period detail and the kitchen and bathrooms appear to have been attractively updated. The proximity to Fifth Avenue is increasingly positive as well. That said, it’ll be interesting to see how this fares with an asking price of $2,395,000. Wonder what the wisdom of the masses will be when it comes to the appraisal votes!

Not sure why this didn’t go up when I tried to post hours ago (and it’s not my first time posting) but 43 Park Place has been on and off the market a couple of times. That octagonal kitchen window looks out on 43 Park Place’s deck — not very private because anyone standing on said deck can see right into the kitchen.
it would be interesting if you published the median price suggested in addition to the average.
CWB, congrats on her work authorization. Now all she has to do is find a job…hopefully she will before too long.
I guess if you’re desparate, you can always buy some heavy sweaters and pack up! 🙂
Hey Mr brownstoner this appraisal thing is starting to be very predictable. 20-25% off listing price. That being said, This house is worth more than that, and this part of Park slope is excellent. 2.1 million.
Biff – She’s actively looking, yep. Her work authorization finally came in the other day, so that’s nice. She’s doing the networking thing, and the recruiter thing, and the outplacement thing, but market research jobs seem scarce in NYC at the moment. Lots in Chicago and Cincinatti but … it’s very cold in those places. 🙂
CWB, how goes the search with Mrs. CWB, by the way? Are you two still actively looking?
I don’t know how anyone would be able to afford to buy anything in any part of Brooklyn that they might want to live in, in their twenties, unless they happened to be in a select few high-paying jobs.
Those of us who were on the low side of 50k for most of our 20s are just now able to really start saving.
P.S. With regard to your statement about getting on the horn about buying property by the age of 33, I find it offensive. But more importantly, it’s not really accurate. Firstly, only 33% of New Yorkers own a home or apartment. Secondly, I’m curious to know how your brownstone purchase when you were in your 30’s measures up in equivalent dollars today…i.e. 2 million for a brownstone now…
I just found this interesting quote from NYTimes article from 1989…
“The couple in the cartoon portray what is happening in the market fairly accurately, said Wendy Healy, public relations director for Weichert Realty, which has five offices in the county. First-time buyers may be somewhat younger than the couple portrayed in the cartoon, Ms. Healy said, adding: ”They are getting older all the time. In 1980, the first-time home buyer was 25 to 29 years old. This year, the average age of the first-time buyer is 34.’
