House of the Day: 69 Willow Street
This new listing at 69 Willow Street (which Curbed highlighted over the weekend) will separate the men from the boys. The five-story townhouse has 5,800 square feet of space, including doctor’s office on the ground floor and extra-deep living quarters on the two floors above that. The property appears to be in very good shape…

This new listing at 69 Willow Street (which Curbed highlighted over the weekend) will separate the men from the boys. The five-story townhouse has 5,800 square feet of space, including doctor’s office on the ground floor and extra-deep living quarters on the two floors above that. The property appears to be in very good shape (though we wish there were a few more photos!) and not lacking in the architectural detail department. But paupers need not apply: The asking price on the baby is $5,750,000, which comes out to almost exactly $1,000 per foot.

“the least attractive part of Willow Street?”
“this is for riff-raff?”
-You guys are on ecstasy.
This is actually the least atttractive part of Willow Street — right across from that unattractive mid-rise.
Still, it might hit over $5 million.
“Buyers at this level”
LMAO. I’m assuming you haven’t seen/heard what townhouses in Manhattan go for.
This “level” is for riff raff.
if it’s a well designed kitchen/bathroom, it won’t get changed out. Why not include photos of those spaces so potential buyers can access the house before making the effort to view it in person.
window-shopping property
I think you’re right Minard. Buyers at this level change out kitchens and baths the way most people change socks.
Somehow I don’t think buyers of houses like this are much swayed by kitchen and bathroom photos.
It should be a rule of thumb for agents to provide one picture per $200,000.
28 photos, please and include some of kitchen and bathrooms.
I suspect the bathrooms and kitchen in this house are as dated as the fluorescent tube lighting in the top floor room and as worn out as the carpeting on the stairs.
Also:
“Convert the ground floor to a separate apartment for income, or use it yourself for guest rooms, media room (our floor plan artist’s idea!) or home office.”
SO, the garden level layout isn’t as shown?! But a ‘floor plan artist’s’ vision?!!!
Nice attempt Leslie and James at peddling a Fixer Upper.
$1 million per photo!
Are there two of those settees? Or did they drag it around for those photos… Call me crazy, but if the real estate shows on TV suggest renting furniture to “stage” a $175,000 house in the suburbs of Omaha, I wondering if that may also be appropriate for a SIX MILLION DOLLAR HOUSE!!!
I know that’s a lot to ask, since James and Leslie will have to split the $170,000 commission check.
Also, have you noticed that almost everyone that works for Corcoran has the title “Senior Vice President.” And curiously James and Leslie apparently Senior Vice President enough to be listed on the “About Us” page. It’s as if there’s nothing authentic or genuine about real estate….
good timing, just in time for the Wall Street bonus season. And they will be the biggest bonuses ever I understand!
Speak among yourselves about the concept of fair play, tax-payer financed bailouts, and the pros and cons of capitalism versus communism.
