After only 11 months, “Girls” star Zosia Mamet and boyfriend actor Evan Jonigkeit are selling their house in Bushwick, as Bushwick Daily was the first to report. They don’t seem to have changed the interior much, except to paint the kitchen cabinets white.

The house at 896 Flushing Avenue was already gut renovated without a shred of original detail left when they purchased it. Flushing Avenue is an extremely busy street and truck thoroughfare, and the house is across the street from the huge Rheingold Brewery complex, soon to be a construction site.

Although the house is 22 feet wide and technically a six-family, we thought they overpaid at the time when they purchased it for $1,000,000. Now they are asking $1,600,000. Do you think they will get it? And what does this mean for Bushwick?

  1. I know this house inside out, it was not worth $1M when she bought it & it’s not worth it now. She probably realized what a piece of garbage she bought & is trying to get rid of it before others find out.

    Good luck to her.

  2. Sounds like there was a big disconnect between wanting to own a piece of a supposedly hip, young neighborhood, and knowing what kind of housing stock makes a smart purchase if you’re really going to live there. If you could afford a million plus house, why oh why choose a location like that?

    Will they get 1.6? Possibly, but only to a developer looking to put rentals back into the building.
