House of the Day: 74 Hicks Street
[nggallery id=”54117″ template=galleryview] The 25-foot-wide house at 74 Hicks Street just hit the market asking $6,500,000 and it’s a beauty. It’s clearly undergone a high-quality (and tasteful) renovation that preserved the old floorboards while spiffing up the kitchen and bathrooms.

The 25-foot-wide house at 74 Hicks Street just hit the market asking $6,500,000 and it’s a beauty. It’s clearly undergone a high-quality (and tasteful) renovation that preserved the old floorboards while spiffing up the kitchen and bathrooms. It’s currently configured as an owner’s triplex over a garden-level rental though with a price tag like this it’s going to take more than a few thousand dollars of rental income to take the edge off that mortgage! As for the asking price, here’s where we stand: We’ve got absolutely no idea whether they’ll get it. Seems like a lot, but this is a fall-in-love-and-move-right-in situation so you never know.

Noki, I kind of agree with that Mother Jones title. Did you see Inside Job?
“This listing is on fiyah!”
ROTFLMAO.
“The Vampire Economy; The Superrich are Sucking America Dry. Congress is Under Their Sway. Can Obama Stay Alive?”
OMG, awesome! Sorry I missed that one.
“I came up with $22K – but then I didn’t assume nothing down like you did.”
The kind of first-timers buying this place are more likely to go for the FHA 3.5% down and borrow their pop’s station wagon for the move.

Nice place. Good to have the rental to knock a couple thou off the $32K monthly mortgage payment.

Rob, I’m reading a book I think you might really enjoy. It’s called “The Invention of Brownstone Brooklyn” by Suileman Osman. It’s about white professionals moving into poor neighborhoods, kicking out the locals, and opening artisinal ice cream parlors. Oh, yeah, it was linked on Brownstoner last week. It was the one with the groovy poster of the lady fashioning her own townhouse out of clay.
Sorry Mopar. Maybe I’m a month behind 😉
I’m speaking of the March/April issue with header: The Vampire Economy; The Superrich are Sucking America Dry. Congress is Under Their Sway. Can Obama Stay Alive?
That one.
I see the high density affordable housing nutjobs are starting to appear.
