House of the Day: 233 Garfield Place

We absolutely love this house at 233 Garfield Place that just hit the market. In fact, we’d rather buy a place like this that has all of its architectural details in place but is a little rough around the edges than a similar place that’s been too fancied up. Assuming the former was priced at a sufficient discount to the former, of course. And that’s the question here: This three-family place is beautiful but it’s been in the same family for 60 years and so may not appeal to people who need brand new kitchens and bathrooms. Given all that, is the asking price of $2,500,000 realistic?
