The history

The seller bought the building 2011 and opened up a pilates studio on the ground floor. In 2014, she moved to Belgrade and rented out the storefront to a nursery school, while a family took over the two-bedroom apartment on the second floor. When the school closed about four months ago, the seller chose to list the property for sale, rather than try to rent it out from overseas.

The sale

Selling the property was tricky, because showings had to be scheduled around the needs of the upstairs renters, who have a baby. There were two offers. It was close, but the buyers won with an unconditional bid a little more than $100,000 over asking.

By the numbers

• $1,000,419 • $9,980.00 in taxes (2015) • 2,400 square feet • 9 days on the market • 3 bathrooms • 2 bedrooms

This post originally mischaracterized the buyers of 419 Jane Street and their intentions for the property. They are not sisters, and do not intend to turn the ground-floor retail space into a yoga studio.
