Curbed Comparisons: Two $1M+ Brookhaven homes unsold despite price cuts

For this installment of Curbed Comparisons, we’re taking a look at two neighboring, North Atlanta homes that have remained on the market for nearly 150 days—in supposedly steaming-hot Brookhaven.

Both are close to the Capital City Club, have been updated, and offer plenty of space for families and entertaining.

It’s true the asking prices might lean toward the high end for Brookhaven, but they don’t smack as being out of line.

Sitting on a half-acre lot, this 1945 home features an enormous gourmet kitchen that could double as a small restaurant. Going beyond the basics, though, the property also comes with a game room, home gym, and a variety of outdoor spaces for relaxing and entertaining.

The home last sold in 2012 for $1.3 million, and it’s had a rough time on the market since it first re-listed in May 2017 for $1.65 million.

It received a pending offer later that month before returning to the market in June last year. It scored a second pending offer within a week, but again returned to the market, albeit with a reduced price of $1,595,000.
