House of the Day: Ugly Cover, Decent Book
This new listing from A&H is interesting. It’s overpriced given its width, the quality of the kitchen and the considerable exterior work you’d want to do, but it is an interesting lesson on not to judge a book by its cover. We’re not even sure what material currently lines the outside of the house and the entry door makes us gag, but if you can get beyond the exterior and the somewhat aggressive paint color choices on the interior, there are some pretty original details in this place that could clean up nicely. Given that a new brownstone facade’ll run you over $50,000 and a new kitchen another $25,000, we think this only gets interesting under $800,000. Of course, in typical fashion, A&H refuses to list the address, which makes it hard to too precise in analyzing price. Who can tell us where this is?
