Condo of the Day: 153 Lincoln Place, #3C
It looks like most of the units at 153 Lincoln Place—the former bordello in Park Slope—are now spoken for: Seven have closed, one is on contract and two are still for sale. One of the apartments that’s still available, Unit 3C, has had its asking price cut twice in the last three months, bringing it…
It looks like most of the units at 153 Lincoln Place—the former bordello in Park Slope—are now spoken for: Seven have closed, one is on contract and two are still for sale. One of the apartments that’s still available, Unit 3C, has had its asking price cut twice in the last three months, bringing it to $999,000 from an initial $1,245,000. It has a lot of space—1,388 square feet—so we suspect the problem has been the untraditional layout. Or maybe, to beat a familiar drum, it’s the lack of original details inside a historic shell. Thoughts?

The whore house did not have much in the way of original trim when I saw it – aside from the staircase. As I understand from neighbors who were around 30 years ago, it was a disco too & there used to be a bit more glitz but of the zebra skin & flocked wallpaper variety but that was gone by 25 years ago. Bear in mind that it had probably been let go for a while before it was sold but there was just scaling burgundy paint on the walls of the “public areas” & the little hotel rooms were pretty much raw sheetrock.
When I first looked at my house 25 yrs ago, it was a sunny spring day & when I saw window shades at half-mast & a laundry truck pulled up outside I thought the bordello was probably a rundown retirement home.
And it doesn’t speak WELL to my intellect that I criticize someone’s else’s intellect and can’t even spell correctly.
p.s. Rob…it doesn’t really speak will to your intellect (or much else for that matter) that you seemingly hate all children, yuppies, hipsters, people who have money, people who are happy, gay men…who else am I missing…?
Do you have any friends outside the handful of Brownstoners who seem to have taken you under their wing? Not trying to be mean, but am genuinely curious. You seem like perhaps one of the most jealous people I’ve ever encountered. If they aren’t just like you, you hate them.
“I don’t really base my impressions of the young people of today on someone who spends 90% of his time inside on a beanbag playing with himself.”
*rob*, you have to admit that was pretty funny! ROFL, 11217!
I find most children to be perfectly pleasant and lovable, with a few bad apples thrown in. Just like the rest of society, really.

That’s just me. My neighbors have some awfully sweet little ones who always say hi to me, smile and seem quite well behaved.
Love ya, Rob. Mean it.
Well, the bordello definitely lost all its old trim
Rob — OK… you’re probably right. I’m thinking that one day my wiener may cause a spawn of my own, so I was being charitable. But hopefully it’ll fall within the 1-5% non-demon range.
