House of the Day: 351 East 9th Street
Most of the listings on Mary Kay Gallagher have at least some of that Victorian Flatbush-y charm; this one, to quote Borat, not so much.

Most of the listings on Mary Kay Gallagher have at least some of that Victorian Flatbush-y charm; this one, to quote Borat, not so much. To the firm’s credit, they’re not trying to hide anything, with some straightforward photos of the charmless interiors and hideous siding that scream Caveat Emptor. Then again, there may not be much need to sell buyers on the existing structure, as it looks like a pure development play at the price of $749,000. Because of the double-wide lot, the current structure is 3,500 square feet underbuilt. We smell teardown.

I know the phrase “not so much” I have never had the um…, pleasure of seeing Borat movie.
Mary Kay must have updated her site.
MaryKay and Propshark dimensions look same to me.
What is the FAR for this block?
I wonder what Borat would think about a double wide on E. 9th? Would he fit in?
Are you kidding, Safireimnot?
Borat is solely responsible for making the phrase “not so much” widely popular. It’s being used all over the place because of Borat, not Paul Reiser or Helen Hunt.
Lots of movies and books have featured immigrants using broken English. You could claim Mark Twain came up with the phrase in Huckleberry Fin if you wanted. Check it out. It’s in there.
It’s not important who FIRST used it. What’s important is that Borat is the reason people are using it commonly today.
The term “not so much” came from the 1990s sitcom Mad About You (starring Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt).
People have been saying that all over the place for the last decade.
To attribute that to Borat would be similar to attributing ‘Under Pressure” to Vanilla Ice.
Not that this matters a hill of beans, just sayin’…
Love the Borat reference!
You’d be surprised-I live approx. a block away and the 50 x 100 lot next to me was sold for $999,900 for a tear down and development. I think the developer next door paid way too much and is not going to make the outlandish profit he thought he was on his hideously designed condos. I’ve seen the plans- can you say Fedders? The zoning is 7B- you can cram a mighty big building on that size lot using the “quality housing” program.
I wonder what’s underneath all that horrendous siding? The interest of this house lies in the potential for a great side yard by removing the majority of the long driveway and putting in a humungous garden….But 749,000 is way overpriced for such a huge project. Maybe a low ball offer of $450,000?
