RE 398 Bergen:
I wish the kitchen wasn’t on the garden floor.
I wish that the 2nd full bath was.
I wish that all the bathrooms weren’t a fantasy/nightmare in black marble.
I really wish the bus didn’t run down this block every 10 minutes.
I wish I had a better idea of what the impact of AY will have on this place.
Alas, It’s a decent house on a decent block, but i’ll wait to see if the price drops or something else comes up.
i project bergen will go for 1.5-1.6 seems like a wacky flip to me.
11:27 Picturesque Brooklyn brownstone experience, I have it already thank you and I live on Bergen Street between 4th and 5th and we “live” in Park Slope
Went to the open house at 209 Dean yesterday. Nice house, beautiful renovation. I disagree with comments upthread that this is not a high-end renovation. The owners used quality materials on the floors, fixtures, the kitchen and all the baths, and the furnishings are several steps up from Pottery Barn. The kitchen layout is well-thought out and the landscaped garden is immaculate. I do agree that the house has a sterile hotel feel; the whole place is painted cream with dark brown, white and tan accents, and although it is very cool and harmonious (pulls on kitchen cabs match pulls on built-in bathroom cabs, same pebble tile in showers), it feels like a high-end hotel with everything so matchy-matchy.
That’s all cosmetic, though, and will be muted when new owners bring their furnishings in.
Property Shark and ACRIS say this was sold in 2005 for $1.84 mil and converted from a three family to a one. I’m sure the owners paid higher end for the renovation, but I don’t know if the comps in this area support a $3.25mil asking price ($860/square foot).
11:05 = owner or broker. Give me a break- anyone who offers asking price in this market is NUTS!!
All of Park Slope is not the same, 11:33.
There are some blocks in up-and-coming neighborhoods that are already becoming nicer than the gritty blocks in the blue chip neighborhoods. NYC is like that.
In re Dean Street house, a house on Pacific Street on the same block (Bond/Nevins) that was wider, but not so nicely renovated, went for $2.3 million ($200K over ask) just a few months ago. The Dean Street house is definitely nicer, but $995K nicer?
IT’S STILL A TOWNHOUSE IN PARK SLOPE FOR UNDER 2 MILLION
I see Bergen house is between 4th and 5th. Yikes. I’ve seen that block once on the way to look at a condo a year or two ago that was on Bergen between 3rd and 4th, where the moronic Aguayo realtor kept insisting it was in the PS 321 school district! And we kept saying, no, we live in Park Slope unlike you, and this is not in PS 321.
Anyway, Bergen between 4th and 5th is okay, but 4th Ave right there is scary with weird dudes hanging around, and it’s industrial with some businesses like a big taxi garage that I wouldn’t bank lots of money on changing all that much. People have to realize not ALL the businesses on 4th Ave will just go away once condos start arriving. It’s going to be like areas of Manhattan such as the meatpacking district or other west-side areas. Fancy condos mixed with gritty industrial buildings and manufacturing businesses and auto repair shops. Which is fine for people who move to NYC for the NYC experience not a suburban experience! But for those who want a picturesque Brooklyn brownstone experience, being near 4th Ave ain’t it.
