House of the Day: 86 Garfield Place
The question about 86 Garfield Place ain’t whether it’s nice—it’s cute as a button—but whether the asking price of $2,329,000 is realistic for a three-story house just up from 5th Avenue. The best context we have for the asking price is what it sold for back in the Spring of 2006. The number? $1,715,000. It’s…
The question about 86 Garfield Place ain’t whether it’s nice—it’s cute as a button—but whether the asking price of $2,329,000 is realistic for a three-story house just up from 5th Avenue. The best context we have for the asking price is what it sold for back in the Spring of 2006. The number? $1,715,000. It’s probable that the new owner did some work on the house in the meantime but whether he did $600,000 of work is another matter. In some ways, it doesn’t really matter though. The market will decide. Anyone checked it out in person yet?

2:54, and hence 3:06: Not really sure what you wonder people are talking about. 5th Ave hasn’t been “seedy” in at least 10 years. 5th Ave was a bunch of crack houses when I went to Jr HS back in the late 80’s. Boo-Hoo to you if you had to walk in front of Coco Roco or gay bars. Bunch of prissy whiners…..
OK, has everyone beaten this to death yet?
Maybe the greedy psycho Roz Huebener can sell the property from 7th Ave.
5th avenue is much more happening than 7th. end of story.
First of all I saw this house and it is much deeper than most, 50 ft. plus extentiuon to 60. It has a very high income rental because it is two bedrooms. I may very well try to buy this home. Everyone is an expert, did they know that a house between 4 and 5 just sold for over 1.7 and is only 3 stories. When you buy a condo for over 1.6, is that buyer crazy. some people are more concerned with a beautiful place to live,and have income. Lets face it whether you like it or not; park slope is an affluent community,
A property on the block just sold for almopst 2.3
The price is ridiculous! It might be ok for a 4 floor house, but this is only 3 floors and needs work! Why do you think they don’t show photos of kitchen and baths? No matter how much they paid for it 1.5 years ago, 1.8 million is a more accurate price – if they find someone that want and can pay taht much.
2:54: You’re telling me. I went to 51 (grad ’98) and remember being afraid to walk on 5th avenue, now I think it is the safest at any time of day!
the market might be a little lower than the asking price but the location is close to the best of restaurant row and it is still a better value per foot than most new developments
the area is great. used to live right near there. think that this house doesn’t look renovated though. i’d plan on having some extra money on hand.
