We’re surprised (okay, disappointed may be a better word) at the number of developers who manage to convert old brownstones into condominiums without capturing any of the charm the buildings originally had. Sure, sometimes a building has already been gutted, but a little creativity and respect can go a long way. Along those lines, today’s two-bedroom condo at 119 St. Marks Place in Park Slope just leaves us limp. It’s yet another personality-less jobs, certainly not old-school and definitely lacking in any impressive modern twists. Recessed lighting? Check. Exposed Mr. Slim air-conditioning? Check. Odd bathroom fixtures? Check. And all for the price of $749,000? No thanks.
