This five-story brownstone on 8th Avenue just north of 9th Street just hit the Brown Harris Stevens site at $3.25 million but there’s scant info and no photos as yet. Judging from the crappy windows and the fact that this is a four-family house, we’re going to take a flying leap and guess that the interiors are not in pristine shape; conversion to a one- or two-family would be a sizable (and expensive) job. While this is a very generously-sized, old-school brownstone, we think it’s going to have a tough time competing against other Slope houses in the $3 million-plus market. How do you think it stacks up against 52 Montgomery Place at $3.675 million or 527 Third Street at $3.4 million? Then again, it may not be a fair comparison: The likely buyer for this place may be a developer who will create five million-dollar-plus floor-through apartments.
