Pending after 41 days

170 John Street, $8.750 million 43 days. 1942 construction, renovated in 2000, on 9-acres, it’s just around the corner from 118 John Street, built in 1996, 10.78 acres, but of radically different design. I like 118 John Street, as I mentioned here yesterday, but these buyers must have looked at its pictures or even toured it, and chose 180. So there it is.

But caution: although a formal style seems to be preferred by buyers in the current market, other factors may have been in play here

And a subtle hint of danger does seem to excite some well-heeled NYC refugees who miss the drama of that city’s streets and subways
