All-or-Nothing Brownstone Rental in Slope
This has to be the sickest rental in Brooklyn right now. The owner of this detail-heavy brownstone on Lincoln Place in Park Slope is looking for someone to take the entire four-story, eight-bedroom house for a long-term rental. (Don’t bother asking to buy — he ain’t interested in selling.) The house is stunning, except for…
This has to be the sickest rental in Brooklyn right now. The owner of this detail-heavy brownstone on Lincoln Place in Park Slope is looking for someone to take the entire four-story, eight-bedroom house for a long-term rental. (Don’t bother asking to buy — he ain’t interested in selling.) The house is stunning, except for a very regrettable kitchen. Why someone who probably has a couple million of equity in this place would cut corners is beyond us. Anyway, even if you’re not in the market for a rental, the listing’s worth checking out for the photos alone. Droolworthy, for sure. Any guesses about what the monthly rent would be on this place. $10,000?
Park Slope Landmark Brownstone for Rent [Craigslist] GMAP
There is a beautiful brownstone on the block where I used to live in the Heights that rents for $8000 a month. Doesn’t include the garden level though. It was actually written up in the Times last year because the guy who moved there with his family is a famous Broadway composer I think. It was vacant for over a year before they moved in.
William, No that is not us. That is the house on 6th Ave between St.johns and Sterling. Great group. As far as I know they are still there. Our house tried to have one or two of us first screen prospective housemates and then we would all have dinner together for a formal interview.
There are a few other houses that are still structured this way, but fewer each year. At the high point in the mid 90’s there were at least 7 that were loosely connected (through friends, lovers, etc.) Once we even had a big party where we all traveled from house to house in the course of a day, with different food served at each house.
Hey ameraleed
Did you guys do sort of a party open house where all perspective tenats came by and the current tenats voted on who to rent o. If som I think I may have stopped by but didn’t get picked. This would have been in March or April of 97. Not that I expect you to remember back that far.
The golden rule in the game is location location location.
Manhattan numbers belong in manhattan.
Anon 5:10- sure it does. I’m comparing the money you spend for the amount of space you get. Never said my personal preference affected anything.And as it were, the conversation was about residential, not commercial rents.
Anon 10:30- a little late for the bandwagon aren’t you? Been there, done that.
“sick” in this context obviously means good – he was commenting on how nice the house is. duh.
If the place had kitchen and bath as impressive as the rest of the house, I think this place would have been rented a long time ago.
Landlord decided to get cheap and put the ugliest kitchen in brooklyn (and Im going to assume the same for the baths).
People with $120/K year to blow on rent want high end kitchens and baths. And no, stainless doesnt make it high end…but stock cabinets and 50cent tile is a shame.
Last comment makes no sense. If this were in Manhattan it could be rented for 100,000 a month by a foundation, , an embassy, a corporation, etc. You may prefer to live in Brooklyn than live in Manhattan. Your personal preference has little bearing on the market price of renting a brownstone in Manhattan.
what bubble?- I dunno, you could be right. I took it in the context of the rest of the blurb, which hardly sounded like fan mail. “bad” I get- never heard “sickest” used like this before, but then who can keep up? Seems other people took it literally too, except they thought it meant open season on the guy for wanting to rent instead of sell.
thanks amerileed for the history of the place. It’s true- if you look at prices in Manhattan, 8-10K is not unheard of and for less space. I’d take a Brooklyn brownstone over a Manhattan apartment anyday.
