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.

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?

I’d say $8,000 would be totally fair.
I actually LOVE the kitchen. It’s no lower in quality than anything by poggenpohl, trust me, but it’s normal. no efn pretention.
What do you want, more stainless? gimme a break. Don’t get suckered into that, Brownstoner. you should know better.
But look, say you need a house for your family for a couple of years in New York before you move back to San Francisco or Singapore or wherever. 8k x 24 months is $192,000 in rent over two years. If you bought a place instead–say this house costs 2 million–your closing costs, including mansion tax, mortgage tax, lawyer’s fees, inspections, etc. would be upwards of $50,000, and when you sell the place again, you’re going to pay a 6% real estate commission of $120,000. If the market goes up, great, you’ll make a little money off your endeavor, but if it stays the same you’re virtually breaking even, without the headache of property ownership.
yeah, this has been on craigslist forever. i think the owner owns a bunch of other rental properties too, cause all of his listings have the same formatting. but i doubt he’s going to find anyone for this. apparently he can afford not to. it’s a shame to see it sitting empty like that, though.
Why would anyone pay a rent roll of this much money?
8k does not seem unreasonable, given that a floor-through apartment in a brownstone in this neighborhood can rent for close to $2,000. The ideal tenants would be relocating from another part of the country or abroad and need a year or two to rent and get a feel for the area, but those kind of tenants are likely to go through brokers, I would think.
Did you see the heading on craigslist. Must be the only 18th century brownstone in existence.
This is been available for over a yr now . He is askin 8 k
This ad has been on Craigslist for months and months, and with no listed rent it’s doubtful anyone would bother with it. Although it looked awesome — I briefly thought about getting 11 friends together or so…
