Inspired, perhaps, by our recent focus on Fifth Avenue in the South Slope, a reader shot us a photo of this recently completed building on the corner of Sixth Avenue and 14th Street. “Anything would be better than the hollowed out brick building that was there about a year ago,” he writes, “but I think this is great mix of modern and contextual.” We think the top three floors look okay but aren’t really grooving on the choice of material for the ground floor. Why not just continue the brownstone (if that’s what it is) from the upper floors? A little web surfing turned up the listing on Brooklyn Properties. Turns out it’s a 2-family asking $2.25 million. It won’t come as a surprise we’d opt for something different in that price range, but this looks like a lot of square footage with solid rental income and, get this, a 3-car garage. We could see someone stepping up to the place in that range if the interior finishes are well done.
