Reactions to 365 Dean Street?
We biked past this make-over at 365 Dean Street a couple of weeks ago. We couldn’t decide how we felt about it then and still can’t make up our minds. The market has spoken pretty clearly about its price though: The two-family started out asking $2,300,000 last November and it’s now down to $1,389,000, according…

What do you think of the design? Update: A commenter points out that the old price included the vacant lot next door, so not a big price cut after all. GMAP
Very convenient location.
Not for the aesthetically inclined.
I’d offer $1.5 for the house and lot together.
Then I would build my own little carriage house style garage (curb cut be damned, I ride a Vespa, the pedestrian cut on the corner is all I need 😉 ).
This house is in Boerum Hill, NOT Park Slope. I couldn’t possibly say whether it’s a nice house, because there are no pictures whatsoever of the interior. Here is the lame listing:

It’s still an ugly block, located near ugly 4th Avenue, and there is still prostitution activity nearby.
In passing this, I wasn’t sure if the design choices were made to look modern or b/c they were done on the cheap. I think the aluminum siding and the windows on the left look interesting, but wonder what happens if and when the lot next door is sold separately. Bye bye windows I guess.
Ugly and boring seems like the perfect description for this.
exactly what the old frames houses looked like no? historic isn’t always pretty
prime re-max listing
broker = “hot parkslope”. LIE.
broker = “make all offers”. desperate.
house = ticky tack but livable in a fugly way (ie rental)
location = questionable
photos = 1
and that’s how you earn $80k commission.
stay thirsty my friends.
DH, the nice thing about that entry is it means your giraffe can walk right through the front door.
The exterior is OK I guess. Doesn’t really matter though. All depends on what they did inside: minamalist clean lines, robust industrial chic, or Home Depot (flipper’s delight) schlock?
