House of the Day: 216 14th Street

We’d glanced at this listing at 216 14th Street in the South Slope before but hadn’t given it much thought based on the exterior. When we took a closer look at the interior shots recently, though, we were struck by how nice it is. The two-family house is clearly a flip-job, but, other than the Home Depot-esque doors, appears to avoid most of the pitfalls typically associated with that kind of thing. (It was purchased back in June for $1,150,000.) The floors, moldings and bannister were all maintained and restored. The cabinetry looks a whole lot better than one would expect from a flipper in this part of town as well. The big question is whether the sellers have added the $500,000 in value that justifies the $1,650,000 asking price. Waddya think?
