This brownstone at 544 Washington Avenue just came onto our radar screen. It’s being marketed by a firm we hadn’t heard of before—Harmony City—but, unlike some smaller agencies, appears to have a good grasp on the basics of marketing a property on the web. As for the house, it’s a 17-footer but has an ample extension, bringing the overall square footage to over 4,000. It’s currently configured in the most sellable configuration—owner’s triplex over garden rental. As for the interior, there are signs of a few details left on the parlor floor (mostly original door moldings) but for the most part the house has been given a middle-of-the-road contemporary makeover at some point that’s not likely to knock anyone’s socks off. The location is convenient, just steps from the C train at Washington, but a little hectic. The empty lot next door is also a big question mark. So what about the $1,785,000 asking price? Seems a good 10 percent overpriced to us.
