House of the Day: 155 West 9th Street

You can’t blame him for trying, but the owner of this three-story brick house at 155 West 9th Street is dreaming if he thinks he’s going to turn his $422,000 investment from back in 2004 into the $1,200,000 pot o’ gold he’s asking on the place. The house is being pitched as an owner-occupied three-family house. There’s a tenant in place on the top floor (paying an undisclosed rent), an empty second floor apartment, and the owner is supposed to live on the ground floor and basement (and this is a real basement, as in totally below grade). As for the interiors, a generic renovation, complete with beaucoup de recessed lighting has been done. Not offensive but hardly the thing house hunters’ dreams are made of. What do you think the market-clearing price on this place is?
