House of the Day: 459 8th Street
459 8th Street was an Open House Pick back in October when it hit the market with an asking price of $1,925,000. It’s received two price cuts since then, one in November to $1,875,000 and one last week to $1,795,000. The two-family house has some nice old detail and charm, at least on the upper…
459 8th Street was an Open House Pick back in October when it hit the market with an asking price of $1,925,000. It’s received two price cuts since then, one in November to $1,875,000 and one last week to $1,795,000. The two-family house has some nice old detail and charm, at least on the upper two floors; the kitchens are also not as fancily-renovated as you might expect for a house just a block and a half from the park and probably have had something to do with the brownstone’s failure to sell thus far. Still, good bones, charming exterior, great location. It’ll be interesting to see what the ultimate price is on this one.

thefed, did you just say brownstones in Carroll Gardens and Park Slope will someday go for 1M?! Sorry, I’d laugh at you but my lips are chapped.
When all is said and done such brownstones CG, CH, PS will go around 1 mil lesser nabes such as PH, FG, CH less than a mil and fringes CH, PL, SP and BR around 600K. Everything depends on Manhattan, as soon as the prices go down there say goodbye to Brooklyn.
The second kitchen has the vibe of a first apartment; buy this house and use that room as your study and keep the fire burnin’ inside.
It’s a cute house, but I think a house this size is better as a single family rather than a 2-family. You’re spending $1.8 million for a smallish duplex + $25k-$30k of income from a rental. If that rental incomes covers $500K of mortgage, you’re essentially paying $1.2 million for a small duplex.
I like the ramshackle feel of the living room with the scratched up floor. Not for this price, but I do like it. Feels lived in in a good way.
Whoa, original cabinets (and sink?) in the apartment kitchen!
Great floorplan with rental on bottom
Deck
Kitchen needs new appliances, countertp and backsplash
Floors need to be done
Top floor a little “busy.”
I thought the trust-funders were buying condos in Williamsburg?
> I’d choose PH over PS any day.
Yes, because the people dropping two million clams for a brownstone in PH are oh so very different than the “trust-funders with toddlers” dropping two million clams for a brownstone in PS.
