Minimalist kitchen at the Griffin

Here's a rare 2 bedroom, 2 bath (2 combined units?) at the Griffin in Fort Greene. Most striking about this unit is the updated white kitchen with dual ovens and long galley kitchen.

Asking price is $724K and was dropped $15K 11 days ago.

Blue chip rental on Prospect Place

If you're a family looking for a huge triplex rental, look no further. BHS has the listing for a 4 bedroom, 2 bath rental for $5500 a month.

Another unit at 242 Adelphi on sale

After the first resale probably took a bath on their unit, this penthouse unit on Brown Harris Stevens is asking $1.295MM.

It's a 1700 square foot duplex unit with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Originally purchased at $1.175MM, the sleuth in me thinks that buyers just want to get the fuck out of this place. This isn't much of a profit for them and judging from the fact that the permanent CO was just received in February of 2008, a good two years after the first closings, I think I'm right.

Buyer beware. Or more like, great opportunity for a buyer who wants to get in on the cheap and knows that there could be lurking skeletons in the closet known as 242 Adelphi.

Top-of-the-line Fort Greene rental

Could this be on Adelphi?

Flip at South Elliott modernist townhouse

From today's Brownstoner's open house of the day, this 76 South Elliott townhouse is a true ode to the modernist who loves white.

This brownstone, which belonged to a well-known Fort Greene architect couple, sold in September 2007 for $1.95MM, but is now listed by its current owner for $2.795MM.

According to public records, the current owner could potentially be a serial purchaser/renovator/reseller, as he looks like he could own 3 or 4 townhouses in the Brooklyn area.

Historic Fort Greene stables rental

Brown Harris Stevens has the listing for a $5000 rental at the historic Fort Greene stables at 159 Carlton Avenue.

The Feuchtwanger Stables used to be an auto garage, but was destroyed by arson in a fire in the 1980s. Here's more background on the building from Anderson Associates, the original developer.

Interestingly enough, we've been in two of the units before and they were in varying condition. One had wide-plank floorboards, but it was one of those places with crevices in the floors where dirt and dust from years and years has accumulated.

Fort Greene coop

This Fort Greene coop was one of the original buildings we looked at over 5 years ago when we started our search. It was also in the same line in this well-kept coop on Lafayette and Carlton. Back then the unit we saw was going for only $275K.

Today, Brown Harris Stevens has this unit for $570K. It's a tidy 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom.

Boerum Hill condo by Atlantic Yards listed at 995K

In June of this year, there was another unit being listed by Corcoran in this condo building at 391-393 Dean Street. It was listed at $699K for 874 square feet. According to public records, this unit has not sold.

Now, Brown Harris Stevens has a larger unit - 1,226 square feet and list price is $995K. It seems like sellers are listing this at $800 psf or so. As we're writing this, we're noticing that BHS has the address as 328 Bergen, which is between 3rd and 4th Avenues.

Now, we're wondering whether these two units are in the same building or not. From the pictures it seems like they may be.

No matter - thoughts on this price, half a block away from 3rd Avenue??
