The market has spoken

Back in January I posted on a new listing in Havemeyer Park, and was not particularly impressed:

Oh, heck, I don't know any more

Coming to Havemeyer Park, 5 Northridge Road, a remodeled, redone cape, $3.495 million. Northridge isn’t one of the best streets in this development — it’s a busy road, and $3.495 seems like an aggressive price, but who knows? We’ll see what the market says.

And now we know: it has sold for $3.3 million — that should be close enough to $3.495 to satisfy the seller.

The builder paid $1.248 for this 1953 house a year ago June and blew it up to 5,200 square feet (some of which will be found in the basement) from its original 1,248. As you can see, this it not the previous owner’s grandfather’s house anymore.

It has the orange

and the zebra masquerading as a dead cow, but…

is the next victim?
