House of the Day: Fort Greene Ground Zero

This place is pretty much a dump, but the price of $1.2 million for prime Fort Greene reflects that. The property clearly has been rental building for some time, with cheap kitchens and no love given to the old details. (Our favorite one is the small round skylight at the top of the stairwell.) We bet the ultimate buyer will convert this place into condos, using the remaining FAR to squeeze out a set-back addition on the roof and maybe a small extension on the rear of the ground floor. Maybe some of you who’ve converted buildings like this before can weigh in on whether the numbers work at this price. Shahn?
