House of the Day: North Slope Bah-gin?
The only thing of note about this house is its price which, given the location, may be enough to get a deal done. While the North Slope two-family doesn’t have a ton of historical charm on the inside, it’s in good shape, has a nice yard and large kitchen. We could see how it would…
The only thing of note about this house is its price which, given the location, may be enough to get a deal done. While the North Slope two-family doesn’t have a ton of historical charm on the inside, it’s in good shape, has a nice yard and large kitchen. We could see how it would hold a lot of appeal to someone who wants to be in the Slope for under $1 million. Agree?
North Slope 2-Family [Aguayo & Huebener]
I saw this house and while it could make for a fabulous one-family, you’d need to put at least 200K into making it nice. The owners lived in it since the 1960’s and it showed — and not in a cool way. The block is fine, getting better, but not terrifically beautiful. We turned it down — too much work for too much money.
omg – someone buying this house can ask for money back now ’cause its not ‘North Slope’.
Geez, now we’re worried setting fixed boundaries within neighborhoods – not just the neighborhood itself.
(and btw – even 25 years ago – in my experience – north ParkSlope was Union to FLatbush ( and sometimes even all the named streets), central Slope Union (or sometimes 1st) to 9th and south below 9th.
Bottom line: Union between 4th & 5th is NOT the North Slope. As is so often the case with brokers (but A&H may be a worse offender than others), this was false advertising
“Pottery barn? Are you kidding? They sell cheap stuff for college dorms. That’s almost as bad as IKEA.”
you must be a delight at parties!

house sold for more than asking: $1.2 million. we looked, put a lowball offer on it. it needs some extensive cosmetic work, possible rewiring and a new roof in a few years. this market is simply unbelievable.
this is a fantastic block, great location. that’s why it got what it got.
We still have our old street-find and ikea furniture precisely because we *haven’t* cut corners on our renovation!
It’s an aguayo & huebener property for all of you smart-ass, snarky geniuses out there. There’s already an accepted offer (“cheap” furniture notwithstanding).
I thought this was a site about being smart about real estate, not about who has the money to buy the most expensive coffee table….
My house is furnished with stuff picked up off the curb, and I’m proud of it, dammit!
