154A Hicks Street1

This Neo-Grec brownstone at 154A Hicks Street in the Heights has lots of lovely original details and an updated kitchen. There are pocket doors, wood burning fireplaces with marble mantels, and moldings, as well as quite a bit of exposed brick.

It’s divided into five units, including an owner’s duplex garden apartment, three studios and a one-bedroom apartment. An old floor plan of the duplex we found online shows the building has a center stair, which means the upstairs tenants walk through duplex on the parlor-floor level to get to their units.

It’s narrow but long at 15.33 by 96.42 feet, according to PropertyShark. It’s also five stories, including the garden floor.

In the 1950s, it was an SRO but after that the picture gets murky, with contradictory C of Os and apparently incomplete conversion applications on file. The building has not recently changed hands, but has a lis pendens for $2,117,500 from 2013.

The ask is $6,100,000. What do you think of it?
