May 25, NY Post –Sales started last Sunday at 38 Seventh Ave., the latest brownstone rental building to go condo in the Park Slope neighborhood. A conversion of a five-story brownstone located between Sterling Place and St. John’s Place, the neo-Greek-style building is offering four units: two duplexes and two floor-throughs. Units range in size from 780 square feet to over 1,700 square feet and prices range from $795,000 to $1.395 million. Details like 5-inch-wide plank maple floors and cherry-stained crown moldings were added to retain a Victorian feel, according to Mark Dicus, associate broker at Aguayo & Huebener. Developers also preserved original details in the 1881 structure, keeping the units’ working wood fireplaces and mantles, and the front door of the building.

Re:”greedy developers”
Most of the UES, Village and other old townhouse rich areas are done with dugging long time ago. The space is premium, every sf is expensive across the river. Park Slope turn. Just a function of high prices.
People want to live in PS but can not afford prime space. First floor and finished english basement duplex would cost less then, say, the same first floor duplexed with the second floor.
I dislike most everything of what A&H is involved in.
I actually think this is really nice. The prices may be a bit too high but I love all the details.
My concern is: is this another building that dug its basement out to gain more space out of it. I’m seeing this done all over Park Slope by greedy developers who want to maximize profits. It seems a risky thing to do with hundred year old structures that have stone foundations.
Agree with you anon ar 2:59pm,
I too am not liking some of the choices. Actually, at the high end (renovations not new construction) the trend has already shifted in favor appliances hidden behind custom panels vs. hard to keep clean shiny stainless steel.
I certainly did not want a huge stainless steel robot fridge hovering over my period kitchen, so it’s hidden and looks exactly like cabinetry. Same for D/W, under-counter freezer, etc.
And with the bathrooms, you’d think they would have done something more neutral – at least you wouldn’t be paying for their mistakes.
This is really a matter of personal taste, but I think diaganol tiles on a backsplash can look cheesy. Also, maybe it’s the flash photo, but I’m not loving how shiny the stove and fridge look. I’m wondering if a few years from now stainless steel everything will look dated. I like stainless steel, especially if it is not super shiny looking, but I just query whether it should always be the way to go aesthetically.
Also, don’t like the bathroom vanity. For the money, it’s too bad you can’t pick the finishes, even if they are expensive, they’re not too my taste…
It appears that one of the duplexes is actually a combination of the garden floor and the basement, so presumably no windows downstairs ??
Ouch, $1000 a square foot in Park Slope? Where were all of these buyers with money when you could get a PS co-op for $350 a square foot a few years ago?
Scarano job. Does this building have a CofO?
