The Latest On the Neighborhood's Most Posh Properties
Our real estate columnist checks in on some of the properties he has featured. Did they sell? Did their price drop? Did the developer throw in the towel?
This week in GreeneListed, we look back at some of the properties we previously featured to see what has happened with them. In all of the properties, the prices have either held steady or been reduced, which suggests it's still a buyers market in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.
"The Finger" 163 Washington Avenue at Myrtle Avenue
Going Rental: These apartments were originally offered as condos in one of the most controversial new construction projects in the neighborhood. The 16-story structure towers over its neighbors (giving them "the finger?") on a block of mostly three-story townhouses. The units were originally listed from $250,000 - $698,000.
After about 40 percent of the units were in contract, the developer pulled all the units off the market and returned deposits. The latest reports are that the building will go rental. The building is currently off the market.

Price reduced to $259,000 two weeks ago ($20,000 reduction)
A perfectly simple condo in a low-key building is still available in the eastern part of brownstone Clinton Hill. It has one bedroom along with a full basement rec room. While the apartment is in "turn-key" condition, a new owner will likely want to renovate the apartment, especially the dingy hardwood floors.

Still on the market for $1,995,000 (no price reduction since last month).
The massive Montrose Morris 1889 townhouse in pristine original condition is unlike any property currently on the market.
The airy mansion has four large bedrooms, two sitting rooms off of the master bedrooms that could easily be used as additional bedrooms, and six bathrooms. Sandra Friedman at Halstead has the listing.
