112butlerpshark.jpgWhen the modern house at 112 Butler Street hit the market last fall, almost everyone agreed that it was a great example of modern townhouse design. There was significantly less agreement about the $2,250,000 asking price. After being off the market for several months, the price has recently been cut by $100,000. Will this be enough to get a deal done? Hard to say, though the market is arguably stronger now. Of course, the shooting directly across the street earlier this week can’t be helping the sales effort.

  1. Domestic crimes happen as much in suburbs and small towns as they do per capita in cities. Tragically.

    In houses that are smaller it seems better to keep it a single-family home these days. People spending this kind of money want big space. The owners unit isn’t very big and neither is the rental. I bet potential buyers are doing the math and finding the rental income for the apartment isn’t worth it, to spend that much on the whole building. Also, being new construction this property is competing not with brownstones but with new modern condos, and again that’s where the owner’s unit being smaller, hurts these sellers.

  2. Anon 2:22…You are right. People will argue, but it’s a stretch to call that nabe Cobble Hill. Those who know know that it’sa different ballgame when you get east of Court Street. It’s much rougher over there. Always has been, always will be.

  3. So you all jog at five am. come home alone at theee am and have never felt frightened. Or, I order food late at night and I don’t come home after midnight.
    You live a midwestern life or a new york
    life. That’s how safe a nave is to me, when i can take a walk anywhere at anytime.

  4. and your most apt to get murdered by your own spouse,family, friends…so stay away from spouse,family and friends.
    Nice house..but a bit pricey still since isn’t all that big and not choicest spot in the area.
    And the stain or finish they put on outside already needs a new coat.
    BTW – there is large house, 4 fam, needing reno probably for sale across street for $1.8.

  5. These nabes aren’t as safe as you think.
    Read the police blotter. There is a persistant drug problem in these areas that hold on it seems forever. It might shift a block, here or there, but it is persistant.
