House of the Day: 601 St. Marks Avenue

There aren’t any interior shots on this listing but we think the history of the building makes it worth a look anyway. Last year, it sold for $485,000, or $64,000 below the asking price of $549,000.  Now it’s back on the market, still in need of a top-to-bottom renovation and still an SRO. “Many original details have been preserved, however the property is in need of a complete renovation,” the listing says.

However, there have been a couple of key changes since it last traded: The seller has applied for a certificate of nonharrassment, and the building, which previously had four tenants, will be delivered vacant, the agent told us.

It’s also close to the shops on Franklin and eight blocks from Prospect Park. Do you think it’s worth the new ask of $1,599,999?
