This week, a look back at four of our featured listings from six months ago focused on homes in Fort Greene, Bed Stuy, Caton Park and Park Slope. How did they fare?
While its compact footprint could challenge a small family of committed minimalists, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom co-op on the penultimate floor of a Fort Greene townhouse checks a lot of boxes. There are high ceilings, wood floors, big windows and original moldings. The living room has space for dining and an original marble mantel flanked by modern white built-in bookcases and closed storage. This former Co-op of the Day sold in November for $1.35 million, which was $100,000 over the asking price.
In Bed Stuy this late 19th century brownstone has well preserved details, including the original stair, white-painted woodwork, striking carved wood mantels with colorful original tiles and built-ins in the garden-floor kitchen. With a full bath on each floor, the two-family is configured as a duplex under a floor-through rental. While not every room is pictured, what is shown appears to be in move-in condition. This former Open House Pick sold in October for $1.525 million, which was $275,000 under the asking price.
When this early 20th century single-family in the Flatbush micro-nabe of Caton Park was on the market in 2019 it seemed to have everything, including well-kept original details, lots of bedroom space, a bathroom on every floor, central air and a garage. An LLC bought 57 Marlborough Road in 2021 for $2.465 million, and now it is back on the market, listed by Steve Halpern of Compass, for $3.495 million. This former House of the Day sold in October for $3.2 million, which was $295,000 under the asking price.
Listing photos offer only a glimpse of the interior of this limestone close to Prospect Park, but it has some period details and nicely renovated kitchens and baths. Now a two-family, the 17-foot-wide house in Park Slope has a rental unit on the garden level. There is no cellar, so the building mechanics are inside the floor-through. Above is the owner’s triplex, with front and middle parlors, dining and kitchen on the parlor level and bedrooms and laundry on the two floors above. This former House of the Day sold in November for $4.03 million, which was $80,000 over the asking price.
