Seen on Craigslist today: 2 BR in Greenpoint, “Open Offers”. And guess what? It appears to be 184 Eagle Street, the former condo turned hostel.
When we were first heading over to Greenpoint to check out 305 McGuinness I also put in a call to check out the listing for a luxury 2 BR, 2 BA with mezzanine place (pics above), complete with on-site parking. Was told by the real estate agent that it was for 184 Eagle Street but that tenants were in the place so I couldn’t see it that day (Sunday). Weekdays weren’t good for me so I passed.
Then a few weeks back Brownstoner picked up on a story posted by New York Shitty about 184 Eagle St doing hostel duty on the side. Apparently a tipster found the Craigslist posting. So…while they wait for a real rental, they’re making money by renting out the place on a weekly basis where you can get either a bunk bed ($28 per night) or a private room ($78 per night). Um, ew?
