Brooklyn Real Estate Listings Six Months Later: All Four Sold

This week, a look back at four of our featured listings from six months ago focuses on homes in Crown Heights, Bed Stuy, Prospect Heights and Fort Greene. How did they fare?

A modern renovation by Brooklyn architect Sarah Jacoby has lightened and brightened this spacious prewar apartment on Eastern Parkway. The three-bedroom, two-bath unit offers lots of fun custom storage, including sliding pegboard doors in the entry and a sleek wall of cupboards in the dining room. It’s located on the second floor of 255 Eastern Parkway, a well-known prewar building that sometimes uses the address 486 Lincoln Place and, unusually, is a condo rather than a co-op. The floor plan of the unit has been altered to open up the kitchen to the dining room and the living room to what was once a hall. This former Condo of the Day sold in August for $1.6 million which was $95,000 under the asking price.

In Bed Stuy, an 1870s brick Italianate in the Bedford Stuyvesant/Expanded Stuyvesant Heights Historic District has some original interior details remaining, including six mantels, and a more recent renovation. It’s set up as an owner’s duplex with two rental units above, although city records disagree about whether it is a two- or three-family. The duplex has two bedrooms on the garden level, with living, dining and kitchen on the parlor floor. This former Open House Pick sold in September for $2.165 million, which was $335,000 under the asking price.

There is a fine amount of detail inside this narrow Prospect Heights row house, ticking the boxes for many of the elements expected from an 1890s interior. There have been some renovation over the years and although they aren’t recent, 395 Sterling Place does appear in good order. It is a two-family, with a garden level rental and an owner’s triplex above. The detail starts in the foyer with a pier mirror, wainscoting and original stair. The double parlor has an even more elaborate pier mirror along with stained glass and original moldings. This former House of the Day sold in June for $3.725 million, which was $25,000 over the asking price.

This 1860s Fort Greene Italianate has had quite a transformation since it was a crumbling shell on the market in 2014. While a marble mantel could be spotted amidst the decaying plaster, 6 South Oxford Street had a hole in the roof and was need of a top-to-bottom renovation. The subsequent overhaul by architect Amy Shakespeare with an interior by designer Tamara Eaton included custom built-ins and a top floor sun room. The more than 21 feet wide brownstone is now set up with living, dining and kitchen on the parlor floor, three bedrooms on the second floor and a full floor suite on the top floor. The former House of the Day sold in July for $7.9 million, which was $900,000 over ask.
