This sale did not make the Biggest Sales cut yesterday, but the pink townhouse at 233 Garfield hit public records last week for $2,075,000. The home was first listed in 2009 with a price of $2,500,000, but was soon pulled off the market. It came back this January for $2,395,000. Streeteasy shows that it entered contract five months later. Back in January, we said, “It will definitely need a lot of work but there’s plenty of enticing raw material to work with: Mantels, parquet floors, beaucoup woodwork, etc.” Wonder if the new owner will keep the pink paint…
House of the Day: 233 Garfield Place (Pretty in Pink) [Brownstoner]
i’m surprised that the pink paint scared off so many buyers.
it was a cash deal to an LLC. i see a flip with $1MM profit in the future.
there are much worse places on the market for more than this, in worse condition, with less detail but they aren’t pink. i’m sure the color made everything inside look that much worse. mold isn’t a huge problem if you know how to deal with it, especially if a new buyer has a ton of work planned anyway.
