Sale at 115 Milton Street - price?

I would ask your broker to do a comparable market analysis and market report. That's what I do for my clients prior to all offers

You can't price a house purely on per square foot though. This is a limestone in Greenpoint. It's pretty rare, the neighborhood is full of frame houses.

Whats brick/limestone worth to you ? to some, doesnt add value, to others , it does. Do you wanto pay up for that or additional features. Choice is yours. When you re-sell, you will need to find a buyer with the same set of values.

Best street in Greenpoint . One of the only streets in the neighborhood with a canopy of trees and primarily old, historic homes. I lived here for 2 years.

KeithB knows. It's the "best street in Greenpoint". Beautiful to see and live there then and better now.

Well that was a very valuable contribution to this thread, trUth.

Not

What's with the affirmations? I think Keith is great, and many people here do, but it's his opinion. You offer nothing to the discussion.

Keep it up. You are showing your banality and excessive anger with every sentence. Meltdown.

You clearly didn't even understand what I was saying, but no surprise there.

Greenpoint is ripe for appreciation. Transportation is still an issue, but people are moving there regardless, and some excellent food has also.

This is really funny. Keep it up "truth".

It sounds like she's abusing illegal narcotics.

Wow, that house is horrendous.

I just noticed, this is in Greenpoint, half way between Hunters Point and Williamsburg.

I recognize that it's a nice street and it's limestone. I still think it's priced too high by quite a bit. The ask may be testing the waters, but I think if they were really interested in selling they'd be better off in the $800 per sq ft range. This isn't Chelsea nor even prime Williamsburg and it needs a lot of work.

Not sure what is going on here, just to be clear my comment was simply relating to the block. I did not look at the sale. I lived at 145 Milton street for 2 years, beautiful, yet small home. We really enjoyed our time in the neighborhood. Even became use to the G train, easy connect in LIC.

Of course, KeithB. You lived there and you know that block well, also the transportation. You really enjoyed living in that neighborhood and it is your personal experience. You can advise sellers and buyers based on your personal experience living there then and what you know now. Those trees are still there and spring will see them in full bloom. Beautiful to see. The homes are still there, for those who appreciate those old, historic homes.
Sorry that you were caught up in the aboutreadyfornothing/"alanhart" meltdown.

Truly excellent recap. Insightful and informative.

Sorry again, KeithB. Although it was 2am, 3/10/15, the "alanhart" troll is still working to disrupt your comment.

I see a big price chop in the near future.

Are you new to the Greenpoint market? I only ask because I disagree that it's overpriced, but I could see why you would think so. As someone who lives on the next block over (renting) and spent over 5 years actively trying to buy a home in Greenpoint and pretty much bid on every home for sale there since 2009, until I was eventually priced out and bought it Queens, I can tell you, it will sell. Never underestimate the astounding value of homes in Greenpoint. The landmarked blocks of Milton, Noble and Kent are the absolute cream of the crop and are extremely limited. IMO there is almost no ceiling for those homes. Renovated nicely, it could probably sell for over 3 million in that location. And lately, almost every home for sale in Greenpoint has been near the $2M mark. And they are ALL major fixer uppers if not total gut jobs. I'm talking crappy frame houses in really bad locations, still asking $1.6-1.9. This gorgeous home in the best possible location is worth a minimum of $2M. Frankly, the condition isn't even that relevant.

The g train may not show up frequently but these days it's more reliable than the L. And tremendously more reliable than the 4/5/6 , which has been a disaster recently.

What a disaster!

Yes, if you have a kid who uses it to get to school and is counted absent (and then needs to do additional community service to make up for it) because a 40 minute commute becomes 60-70. Which has happened extremely frequently this past year. Your empathy underwhelms me.

Additional community service? What is the original community service for? Why would missing class result in community service for a child?

And if a 40 minute commute regularly becomes a 60-70 minute commute, isn't the commute actually 60-70 minutes? Why is this child so unprepared? And what kind of parent sends a child on a 40 minute or greater commute on his or her own? What kind of parent is this? Maybe the parent needs to do community service. Certainly the parent accusing others of lacking empathy (as if I even had an idea about this child and this supposed commute until it was just mentioned) seems to lack empathy for his or her own child.

No, the past few years the commute was regularly 35-40 minutes. Your reading comprehension is lacking. You're such a negative person, always looking for ways to shoot people down. Sleep well.

What kind of parent are you? And what kind of child do you have who is compelled to do community service? My reading comprehension is sufficient that I never was compelled to do community service.

Seriously, you seem like a bad parent. Unfortunately children don't get to pick their parents. You clearly aren't setting a good example, given the community service requirement, and how you encourage your child to pass blame onto others instead of being responsible, showing up on time, etc.

Wow, her aboutreadyfornothing meltdown continues here. 3/10/15 @ 8:15pm on a Tuesday school-night.
She "has a kid who uses it... and is counted absent... has to do additional community service...has happened extremely frequently this past year..." > She's posting comments again here, as usual, about "(her) kid".
She continues to complain:
"No, the past few years the commute was regularly 35-40 minutes..."
She is "such a negative person, always looking for ways to shoot (her kid) down..."
Nobody forced her to move from renting in Peter Cooper Village, to that area of Brooklyn. Nobody forced her to "have a kid..."
Yet, she is not to blame for her lack of parenting ability. It's because of everybody else, not her.

No, it's just because of a clientless publicist off her mess again. Not everybody else.

Another useless, childish comment with more nonsense from the troll "alanhart".
" a disaster " still isn't the way to describe it, just more drama from the DramaMama.
"If you have a kid..." the kid can leave for school earlier in order to arrive on time.
A parent with adult coping ability (and all the money brought in by her "high income earner" spouse) can send "(her)kid" to school by car-service in the morning. That solution would cost less than the great misfortune resulting from
"(her) kid" being forced "to do additional community service to make up for it."

You define shrew.

kpantelides. No, I own in Greenpoint. I bought 5 years ago. This and the couple of blocks you mentioned are nice, but I think it's you that is new to the market on this one. Similar sized units on nice streets in Greenpoint are selling for around $750-800 psf. This place, while nice and on a nice street, isn't $300-400 psf nicer. It's just not.

Please update us on your kid. Getting worried based on everything I've read so far.

She's an adult with the emotional intelligence of a four-year-old. She isn't up to the definition of "a shrew". She's childish, lacking the ability to discuss, relate and debate with real- life adults. She's an emotionally stunted adult without any ability to cope with the real world.
She sits home all day and night with nothing else to do, nor does she have the social and/or business skills to go out and be a part of something/ anything, better than posting her prattling on se.
She is the definition of arrested development.
As of today, 3/13/15 her meltdown is now ongoing for one week.
Her meltdown will continue this weekend, as it is only Friday and her weekend, once again is filled with no plans other than posting childish comments here.

So, trUth, how are your children?

Just who is melting down here? Read your posts. It's you. Nasty shrew.

But I do so love how you date and time stamp comments. What is wrong with you, seriously?

Truth seems very maternal. Not. In. The. Slightest.

1OO11, something is wrong with your keyboard. It is putting punctuation where it doesn't belong.

Holy moley! Your keyboard too troll! It types ohs instead of zeros.

0h, I didn't realize.

The only reality about aboutreadyfornothing and her troll buddy "alanhart" can be found here on this thread, as well as others including the "80% carpet rule" discussion. She is a childish loser, with an obsession about Truth. What is seriously wrong with her is obvious: she has a persistent disturbing preoccupation with Truth.
The time-stamps are to show her persistent meltdowns.
as of 5: 15pm, 3/15/15 , her lastest comments here (three-in-a-row) were posted "1 day ago".
She is obsessed with Truth and wants to have a connection but Truth isn't interested in her. So, she tries to force herself on Truth.
She posts: "But I do so love how you...", directed at Truth.
She's a loser (both by her "aboutready" and "10011" nom de se, which was started by her in Sep 2010 and held in reserve for the future time when she was "removed" by se, as "aboutready" ).
Her meltdowns are here on se, for all to see.

How too sad.
Maybe some day there'll be a cure.

I'm beginning to think this thread really is no longer about II5 Milton Street.

As of 7:40pm, Sunday 3/15/15, the aboutready troll buddy, "alanhart" dutifully posts more nonsense: "32 minutes ago" on behalf of aboutreadyfornothing/"10011".
This thread was disrupted long ago when aboutreadyfornothing/"10011" and her troll buddy tried to take control of it and showed more of "How too sad." they both are.
There is no cure for him and aboutreadyfornothing.

Just wow
