House of the Day: 216 17th Street
A real brownstone in Park Slope for $1,499,000? Yes, but, before you get too excited, it’s 17-feet wide, in the South Slope and needs work (it’s been in the same family for 58 years, after all). It’s not all bad at 216 17th Street, though. There are some nice architectural details and the taxes are…

Well, it is selling for $1.095 K.
Pluvious,
Please post up one of your historical maps. I would like to see GW or GWH on the map. Being someone not born in the 70’s and not fitting your description of “Young Lives”, you comment about “Long Before Then” and “Old School” has piqued my interest. In other words, I never heard of it!
People who live in this neighborhood call it all sorts of names, and this has gone on for a long time. Not sure why people can never get past this and just discuss the house. It’s a nice neighborhood near park slope and near the cemetery.
17th and 18th both have brownstones and brick townhouses with detail and scale that done exist on blocks in the south slope or other greenwood blocks-
This block is really nice- families, trees, really nice houses. There is an incredible brick and terracotta romanesque townhouse on this block that’s one of the prettiest in the generalized park slope area.
The highway entrance near fourth ave is a bummer- but it you live on the other side of the street, and closer towards 5th ave, you would never notice.
There’s a subway stop on the corner which is convenient, and makes for good pedestrian traffic on the block.
apart from what folks born in the 70’s in PS might think, greenwood has been a neighborhood since LONG before then. GW Heights, might be modern iteration, but GW is old school. take a walk around. look at some of the old business. check the historical maps, etc. gw is there for all to see.
seems like sometimes people historical perspective only extends to the length of their (young) lives.
You folks are still smoking crack. It’s worth 800k tops in this market.
I wouldn’t even pay that. . .
the price is retarded but…
I walked down this street a few months ago and was amazed at how awesome it was. 700k in the real world.
This house seems a tad pricey for that location in this market, but who knows. Maybe the price is high, because they expect less?
We didn’t know this was priced earlier in August @$1.35m. Well we live in a different world today Corcoran and this place didn’t appreciate an extra $150k in value during these hard times ( no its not the end of time just a Great Recession ). Our $1.1m estimate was excessively generous here folks….jingle mail we agree $999K is more realistic but time will tell.
Well no offense, but it SHOULD be priced lower.
That’s the market talking.
Everyone here is just reflecting that. You like it better south of the expressway, that’s great. You get to live somewhere cheaper AND live exactly where you want. I wouldn’t expect you to offer the seller Brooklyn Heights money just because you like it better than BH.
A lot of that talk is due to the broker calling it Park Slope, which it is not.
I don’t really see a lot of judgment talk here about the location being “worse” except for it’s possible proximity to the expressway.
