House of the Day: South Slope Frame
This South Slope frame house sure is purdy. The four-story, two-family place looks to be in excellent shape and chock full o’ architectural details. The config is owner’s triplex over garden level floor-thru. The rental generates $1,850 a month. Our emails to Betancourt went unreturned so we don’t know the address, but this should be…
This South Slope frame house sure is purdy. The four-story, two-family place looks to be in excellent shape and chock full o’ architectural details. The config is owner’s triplex over garden level floor-thru. The rental generates $1,850 a month. Our emails to Betancourt went unreturned so we don’t know the address, but this should be a pretty easy one for readers to figure out. Without knowing a little more about the location, it’s hard to comment on the $1,450,000 asking price.
South Slope Two-Family [Betancourt] GMAP P*Shark
Greg (owner & poster @ 9:38) Your work on this place is incredible & you deserve every penny you get. I also like your comment about the neighborhood and what REALLY matters. I’m sure your neighbors will miss you and if I’m lucky enough, I’d have you work on a place of mine someday.
Oops, never mind about that previous post, I think I’m mistaken that the rental is the top floor. I was confused by the 7th photo that was labeled “top floor living room” which looked like it also had a kitchen. The actual description seems to say the rental is the ground floor. Sorry.
I’m really curious about the layout and wish there was a floorplan included in the listing. Can someone who knows tell me how they did the triplex? Was a 2nd stairway built between the parlor and third floor, so the 4th floor tenant’s access to his apartment was not through private space? The conventional triplex plus rental is top three floors with ground floor the rental. What do people think of the HOD’s configuration instead?
From a NYT story about a family that moved to the same block:
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/20/realestate/20hunt.html?ex=1157688000&en=6ee2c612c08a4eb3&ei=5070
“The family is still unclear on what to call their new location. Some say Park Slope, but they prefer Gowanus. “I like people to go, ‘Oh, where’s that,’ ” Ms. Millard said. One agent referred to the area as “G Slope.””
This house is 1 of a kind. The amount of detail is incredible. This house was filmed by HGTV and will air soon. This house when purchased was a wreck. All the original plaster work was restored to the parlor floor. All new work was done to blend with all the original decor. All kitchen and baths were totally redone. There are 5 existing marble fireplaces with original metal inserts along with 2 brick fireplaces in the attic space. All new wood floors with 16 inch borders throughout all rooms. The floors were stained to appear original. The stairs were totally rebuild and fastened. The handrail and spindles were refinished to original form. This house took approximately 7-8 years to complete. A great deal of money,sweat and imagination went into this house. I could go on for hours. There is just to much that this house has to offer. Regarding the block be considered park slope who cares. The only thing I care about are my neighbors. My neighbors are the greatest people in the world. They are always looking out for one another. There are a great deal of families on the block.
Thank you all for the nicer comments about my house…(especially the nursery I did it all myself)..Every house I have looked at for 1.1 or higher was not even worth looking at in fact many needed kitchens and bathrooms..Please fill me in on were you can find a house fully renovated with a monthly income for under a mil….Thanks…Mitzi (Accepted offer already)…
Park Slope…Why would it be considered anything else…
