Update: A reader just dropped us a note to inform that Pratt has already sold 275 Washington to a developer who’s splitting it into three tax lots: the carriage house, the side lot, and the house. He’s now selling just the house for $3.5 million. As for the other two lots? Condos. This should be interesting. We’ll be watching this one like a hawk.
The house was once owned by a couple who moved to a trailer park section of the south slope.
that 6th ave house is about 200k over market. the house is TINY. the front is nicely done and the cornice is nice, i have walked by it many times. but i would be SHOCKED if it goes for over 800k.also the backyard is tiny. i doubt the whole house is over 1000 sf. so suddenly greenwood hts is $950/sf?? also the house is next to a big glass distributor warehouse.
Some of the nicest buildings are sold by BP. I mean, the real gems (mansions esp). They usually need some fixing up, but thier stock is way more interesting than the conveyor belt renos offered by corcoran.
As far as the ghetto-ness of the Washington Avenue buildings, I wasn’t referring to the people who live there, just the way they look. Don’t take it so personally. They just look depressing, no matter how many profs and civil servants live there.
I was wondering they chose Brooklyn Properties as well — and why no floor plan?
I saw the garden on the Clinton Hill garden tour some years back and it was magnificent, so I was thinking that $3.5 million for the house, garden and carriage house was actually a good deal, all things considered (not that I can afford it). But for the house alone? I don’t think so. And what a shame that most of the woodwork inside the house has been painted white.
Actually I was the 5:05 plug and I worked at Brooklyn Properties and it is
the truth. It is a stretch for that place of business to pull this price in a nieghborhood they barely have a presence in. Hit or miss.
Anonymous 5:05pm, that was a shameless plug for your firm, you guys really do think people are stupid.
ghetto? what the apartments filled with writers, college professors, civil servants, & small business owners? do you have any ideas who your neighbors are? where are you from? it must be horrible to live in your little uninformed box. your assumptions are disturbing.
I just can’t imagine why they would sell with the dopey firm of brooklyn properties. The brokers and the way they do business is back in the stone age. I’m sure the listing will have to be taken over by corcoran or someone else to even get close to asking.
Analysts haven’t come to a consensus to explain why mortgage rates and associated bond yields have gone on their up-and-down trajectory of the past few weeks. One thing is clear, though: The housing market is swooning.
According to the National Association of Realtors, the pace of home resales has slowed dramatically — down 10.3 percent in May compared with the previous May. The number of used houses on the market is a record 4.43 million. That translates into an 8.9-month supply.
Half of the houses resold in May cost less than $223,700 — a 2.1 percent decline over the median price of $228,500 a year earlier. On a year-over-year basis, median resale prices have gone down 10 months in a row. That’s a sign of a genuine housing slump. Inventory is at record highs, the market has not see a downturn like this in decades.
