181 President Street Floorplan

It would appear that the newly constructed one-family dwelling at 181 President Street between Henry and Clinton Streets is still on the market after nearly a year. 

Marketed as "the most sophisticated new construction townhouse in Carroll Gardens" for $9 million on its very own web site, the new 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths four-story building, which includes a cellar and two garages on street level, was placed on the market at the beginning of 2016.
A "final preview opportunity" was given to potential buyers this past September.

The web site still lists the Aguayo Team at Halstead Property Development Marketing as listing agent.  A "final preview opportunity" was given to potential buyers this past September.

Construction on this project began in February 2014. NYC Department of Buildings records indicated that it was originally filed as conversion and vertical enlargement of an existing one story garage building to a one-family. The building was designed by Ramy Issac of Issac and Stern Architects, PC.

Does anyone think 181 President Street will find a buyer at this price? Do you think there is a market for such big one family home in Carroll Gardens? One block from the Brooklyn Queens Expressway?
