You'll get radiant heating in the bathrooms and a gas fireplace in every unit, but it sure won't come cheap.Prospect Heights' newest condos, marketed by Aguayo & Huebener, has a very Scarano-esque design, but are not actually designed by Scarano. Dubbed Mark 324, these condos are the latest entry into the NoProHo area by developers who are, at turns, emboldened by the success of the Washington

The NY Post's Katherine Dykstra boldly proclaims that Prospect Heights is the new Cobble Hill in today's Real Estate cover article.To prove this, see the map at left, which also includes the Washington Condo and an owner who paid $540K for his 3 bedroom a few years ago.curbed.com covers it here.

These units went on the market in 2005, during the RE boom for list prices of anywhere from $795K to $995K. At a list price of $850K, this owner isn't making much, if anything, from this potential sale.Corcoran has the listing for this 2 bed, 2 bath unit that could be either 1,062 sq ft or 1,130 sq ft, depending on which unit it is.

A 4-family Italianate beauty has hit the market at $2.05MM. It once sold for $980K in June, 2006.According to sources, there was once a fire at the building that may have gutted one or more floors. As each floor has been renovated, particularly the parlour floor, it could be argued that the $2.05MM price tag is justified.Streeteasy listing is here.The broker is little-known Mark David NY (who

When we first posted the Graham Condos listing for $889K in July 2009, we were surprised to see that it sold so quickly.ACRIS records show that the buyer of unit 3A purchased this unit and a parking spot for $915K in June 2008. The sale price on this unit in August 2009 was $890K.Even though sold at a loss, $890K represents an impressive sale price in an otherwise dull real estate environment. At
