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?

He better hope that some apt. sharing attorney doesn’t give him a jingle to ask about the place. Isn’t it illegal to discriminate against people just because they ain’t married with children?
Bx2Bklyn…”sickest” as mr. b is using it is not meant as an indictment on the landlord or the price…he means “sickest” like nice or really nice…like…that is “sick”..it’s slang…you simply misunderstood.
Why oh why would you put such light colored cabinets in a building that has all that fantastic darker wood?
Those numbers belong in Manhattan not Brooklyn.
by the way: this landlord will make you supply your own refrigerator. he will probably put in the stove for you but reluctantly. the windows don’t “meet” so you have a terrible draft. work is shoddy at best.
Check out this listing for a brownstone on Lincoln Place between Sixth Avenue and Seventh Avenue from the Corcoran website. It is likely the same house and this has the rent going for $10,000.00. http://corcoran.com/property/listing.aspx?Region=NYC&ListingID=920284
I guess it’s not so insane that someone pay $10,000.00 for a full brownstone in Park Slope if they pay that much for a three bedroom apartment in Manhattan. This house is incredibly well preserved (love that original bathroom), but yes, the kitchen is kind of disgraceful. The Poggen Pohl comment was kind of off because I don’t think Poggen Pohl would manufacture any cabinetry fitting of this house as their products are more modern. However, I suppose the owner of this home doesn’t want to invest $50,000.00 on a Clive Christian original kitchen with the Viking range and Sub-Zero refrigerator if it’s been sitting on the market for almost two years and it doesn’t appear that anyone is gearing up to sign that “Long-Term” lease.
I don’t think $8-$10K is so bad for an entire brownstone. If you can get 4 people together, you get quite the party house for $2K-$2.5K. Seems perfect for four recent law school or business school grads, assuming he is not insisting on more than a 2 year lease.
but geeze it’s been a yr…. but hey I wont hate if he can hold out for more than a year i’d like to be like him one day.
a couple of addenda:
I think the analysis by 1:54 is valid, especially when you factor in that some corporations pay the rent for “short-term” relocations.
The rent is in the ballpark, but probably excessive if the tenant has to be a family and not a bunch of pals. Who needs eight bedrooms? I know, I know, the Brady Bunch.
