When we bought our house more than two years ago, this brownstone on the corner of Gates and Grand was barricaded up, looking like someone was about to being work. Only it wasn’t until a year or more had passed that the crew showed up. As the reno progressed, we were a little skeptical the windows, but apparently those fears were unfounded. We had heard rumors a few months ago that the building was going to be divided into condos, but it wasn’t until yesterday, when we saw a sign on the side of the building, that its fate was confirmed. We have not been inside, nor have we seen pictures yet, but one broker we know told us that it was extremely well done. The house is five stories, so evidently they’ve been able to create a five-bedroom unit that they have on the market for $1,585,000 and still have room for another decent-sized apartment. The only bummer about them achieving anything close to this price is that it will make it awfully hard for us, as one of the only other five-story houses on the block, to resist the temptation of doing the same. Hopefully Jerry will have some pix up soon!
