House of the Day: 465 6th Avenue

This three-story house on Park Slope’s 6th Avenue between 10th and 11th Streets probably isn’t the easiest sell. The exterior certainly leaves something to be desired it’s too bad the original storefront isn’t still there. Inside, there’s still some interior detail left in the form of a tin ceiling and some sealed-off fireplaces. The trellis in the bedroom is pretty sweet, too. That said, the building, while perfectly serviceable, will probably not charm the pants off anyone. Which makes us think it may be more of an investment play at the asking price of $1.6 million. Does anyone know what a 1,000-square-foot retail space in this location would fetch in rent? Maybe a buyer would be best served by returning the ground floor to commercial and creating a nice residential duplex upstairs. Would this course of action make any sense?
