House of the Day: 215 13th Street
This house at 215 13th Street has plenty to recommend it, including a nice, open-plan parlor floor, but we’re not sure it’s quite impressive–or big–enough to merit the asking price of $1,799,000. The house is only three stories tall and some of the renovation touches aren’t really doing it for us. And not to take…

And not to take anything away from the South Slope or 4th Avenue, but this location also doesn’t seem to match the price. What do you think?

“I am telling you – this is not selling for anything above 1.15million unless the buyer REALLLLY wants this house.
A house a block or two away that looked like the same size as this place sold for 999,000 recently. From the few pics they posted it looked like it needed more work than this so I think your 1.15 price point is the best guess.
Pity – the furniture is very distracting. This is where staging would have worked really well. Cereal boxes off top of fridge, just for “starters”.
I am telling you – this is not selling for anything above 1.15million unless the buyer REALLLLY wants this house.
So – the house will either sit and sit and then the sellers will remove it from the market or the agent will price cut a million times creating a stinker of a property that no one wants
Reno has no coherent theme: they saved some details, then eliminated them in others. Kitchens and bath are not impressive. This price is more in line for 3 blocks east and 5 blocks north, which in the slope is all the difference in the world.
i’ll take two please.
really. has anyone ever seen/heard of this broker before? lower than fillmore or awaye on the “we price near reality” scale?
Although I appreciate that this has been reno’d, I think BHO is on the high end here. This is a middling-width house across from the school with a shallow lot three doors up from 4th Avenue.
Has anyone actually been inside? I have serious doubts that this are a legit 3 bedrooms downstairs — maybe 2 BRs plus a skinny room that probably doesn’t legally qualify as a bedroom but might be a nursery for a while.
Also where are the stairs to the basement floor? Through that door under the stairs? I guess both bathrooms are downstairs as well then.
Gualmly, I wasn’t going to say anything, but that blue couch that looks a bit like videogame arcade or cheap casino carpeting? WHEW! I’ve seen those couches dumped on city streets for sanitation pick-up too many times to count. And that was in the 80’s. 😉
I know, I know, not nice. I’ll stop.
More4, I just don’t know if we have it in us to do a FULL-ON reno. No doubt that Ft. Greene place could be unbelievable, but would likely take a year or more to complete. And a TON of dough. It’d be our albatross.
I’m gonna second profrobert. I’m a block or two away, bigger house, closer to park than this one. I don’t even have to check with Mrs. Slopefarm to know that we would have to consider offers at that price per sq. ft. for our home. That would be some big windfall, even after big $$ spend on a reno hell.
I’m all for robust So Slo comps, but I just don’t see this. Only So Slo house I ever saw go for more was 237 14th, and that was at peak, with tons of sq. footage, a 30′ wide lot, a Charette reno and an outbuilding.
BHO says Widget: 1.2 – 1.5 mil. Pigs may fly but that sounds about right and BHO may be a little generous on the high end. Of course, I don’t buy into the rest of his statement.
Classy 1.8 million dollar futon decor!
