House of the Day: 455 Union Street?

455-Union-Street-0709.jpg
As if the interiors of this place didn't make it a hard enough sell, there seems to be some confusion about the address: The two-story brick house is listed on StreetEasy as 455 Union Street but, based on the exterior photo, it matches up with a house that's listed on PropertyShark as being at 463 Union Street. Regardless of the address, it's hard to see how they'll pull off the asking price of $950,000.

Call me crazy - but if i'm paying close to a million bucks for a place - I'd like to have a nicer kitchen then I had in my walk up LES rat trap apt 6 years ago.

Can we substitute this one for the HOTD? This Union one sucks!

it needs more stainless steel and granite.

Posted by: dirty_hipster at July 1, 2009 1:44 PM

wow. asking $950K for that?! this house makes the suburbs look kind of attractive.

More overpriced nonsense. Tell me that's not freakin' linoleum. Please.

That's an easy bake oven.

Does HOTD now stand for for Hovel Of The Day?

That place is a polished turd. Except they forgot to polish it.

It seems there's been some HOTDs hovering near the $1 mil. mark that are not thought to be worth the price. Is thre a glut forming? The biggest sales alway have classic brownstone-y places on like 2nd St. in the Slope and various places. Is there some kind of psychological barrier to crosing/uderperforming the $1 mil. mark that keeps these places down? Makes me wonder.

jester,
Not sure if it answers your question but $1mm is the threshold for the mansion tax.
So if this is someone's idea of a mansion it's slightly underpriced :)

Don't know if I've ever seen an Average Reader Appraisal this far below ask. I guess they're trying to prematurely cash in on the Gowanus cesspool-turned-Venice.

Hard to say without a floor plan. Cobble Hill sure is moving around these days...

the house itself isn't much but any building lot has real value. But here it is small lot and that limits price.
16.67 x 75. So what can be built here is not much.
2500 sq ft or so?
That is the bigger problem - not the crappiness of kitchen or whatever.

Isn't that address right next to the Gowanus Canal?
