Okay, we know you’re not going to find anything else for much cheaper in Park Slope Proper, but still, paying $249,000 for this glorified shoe box in an otherwise generously-sized brownstone at 19 Seventh Avenue seems like a bit of a stretch to us. The listing spins the place as “cozy” and plays up the “modern” kitchen but, eesh, after you put down $50,000, you’ll be paying, what, $1,200 a month in mortgage plus another few hundred bucks in maintenance? We can’t see a whole lot of upside when it comes to resale (and can easily imagine a scenario in which you can’t even get your down payment back out) so why not just rent?
