Yup, it’s another “Should I buy this brownstone?” post. But I sincerely need your opinion — and I know you love this question — so here are the details:

4-story, 3-family brick townhouse near the Atlantic-Pacific station in Boerum Hill. Top floor is rent controlled 55-year-old guy paying $160/mo. Middle floor is market 1bd paying $1900. Owner’s duplex is parlor floor (2.5 bd, 1ba), garden floor (K, LR, 1ba) and partially finished rec room in basement. 20×35 bldg on 20×100 lot. No original details, livable 80s renovation. Asking: $1.1M

Do I buy it? Please advise!
