Closet envy is a well known, but little understood social disease. The furnishings are meh, but the finishes are quite nice. Overall the house is lovely even with the cedar exterior.
true, it still has a cheap tenement curb appeal. i’d say a mil off would be appropriate. maybe $1.7 for a honey badger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg
PS says this is a 3 fam. I am not certain how one could get financing for a building zoned 3 fam with one kitchen. All cash buyer? Surely wouldn’t appraise. Short lot @ 80ft. The reno is something like you would see in soho, and i think very desirable for a trust funder who can’t afford soho.
Howevz, its still 8 blocks from subway – they are pricing this as a gay fabulous version of Pat Kiernan’s comp. But this is Greenpoint, not primetime. Being able to wave your Polska Kielbasa in McCarren park pool doesn’t get you there.
Basically here is the anatomy of an illusion: have sick success with little merit, hang out with groupthink fashion morons, make up titles (such as producer or skateboarder) to make people think you have substance. Hey, it works in the club.
After reno on a $920k purchase price list it really high so a decent haircut will still give you a home run. No one will know, my stuff is always worth more just because. Who can put a price on fierce?
thanks for the tip on the DOB change from 3 fam to one. PS still shows 3. Glad i don’t pay for that subscription!
