189 - 195 Prospect Avenue? - ?
I'm not sure what the story is here. In early 2013 189 - 195 Prospect Avenue, a parcel of six buildings, was listed on the market for $6,950,000, but it appears to have been taken off the market by the end of the year. Corcoran was handling the sale back then:
Rare opportunity for developers and investors in Park Slope! 189-195 Prospect Avenue are two lots (with the configuration of six) that are ideal for a new construction or condo development in this booming Park Slope market. Zoned for both residential and commercial use, the total lot area is 15,628 square feet with 46,402 square feet of allowable floor area. The property is currently comprised of two carriage houses (both two stories), two residential two-family houses, wide open parking lots, and two enclosed garages. This property is conveniently located directly across the street from the R train station at Prospect Avenue.
Six buildings? Five buildings? It's hard to configure this one, but it seems like the parcel is for sale again.
Let's head to the next block.
173 Prospect Avenue - $950,000
Just off Fourth Avenue, next to an empty corner lot, and a towering apartment building, with an expressway rising in front of the house, 173's been on and off the market for several years
There's no purple prose for this one - just the basics.
169 Prospect Avenue - $1,299,000
Apparently this place has been in the same family for three generations. It looks like a home, rather than a showcase, There's a laundry pole in the back. But it's been on the market since the summer, and the price has been reduced.
The sad thing is that both these blocks of Prospect have some fine buildings, but when Moses slashed his way through, the once handsome-streets became half-blocks, losing their symmetry and natural vitality, stranded on the edge of a vehicular abyss. Today, in our most perverse of markets, it's a landscape with a million dollar price-tag.
