House of the Day: 578 7th Street
578 7th Street hit the market last summer with an asking price of $2,650,000, which proved to be way more than the market would bear, given the narrowness of the house and its rather dated interiors.

578 7th Street hit the market last summer with an asking price of $2,650,000, which proved to be way more than the market would bear, given the narrowness of the house and its rather dated interiors. There’s been a change of brokers recently, though, along with a new asking price of $2,199,000. And although the interior decoration that has a certain vintage Carroll Gardens vibe to it, there is some nice original detail to be found and the location, just off the park, can’t be beat. Someone’ll go for this near the ask, we suspect.

Still, not nice to make fun of the Irish on St. Patricks’ day; someone deserves a hard twisty pinch.
Really, Noki? Am I WASPY? Have we ever met? NYGuy7: Yes, I know the “vintage” crack was code, and I also know that the owners of this building are Irish. I know that while one of yesterday’s threads rightfully made much of redlining in black communities, that for many, MANY years ALL of Park Slope was redlined, including the areas filled with white working-class Irish, Italians, Galician Spanish and Syrian/Lebanese Christians. And I know this too, that the new population of Brooklyn’s “Brownstone Belt” finds the vintage soul of Brooklyn a source of amusement, mostly missed only after it’s been chased away.
Wow, so quick to take offense! It isn’t as if Catholics are some marginalized, discriminated-against, beaten-down group of outsiders, just “fightin’ to get theirs”, who are being condescended to by Brownie. Our own WASP-y gentrifier on high? Give me a break. He meant old-school Catholic. And that is exactly what this house screams.
Also, it isn’t the Virgin mary. It’s St Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals.
Hey!!!! No disrespecting the Irish catholics on St. patrick’s day.
“”Certain vintage Carroll Gardens vibe…” Is that code for Catholics (in this case, Irish Catholic,:
It’s code for Italian catholic which is what Carroll Gardens used to have a large population of. The Irish usually aren’t as big into the Virgin Mary yard statues.
“Certain vintage Carroll Gardens vibe…” Is that code for Catholics (in this case, Irish Catholic)? Or is that code for ignorant gentrifiers who don’t know anything about the neighborhoods they’ve overrun? Because, ya know, the house is in Park Slope.
It looks to be in pretty good condition. All the parts are there, except on the basement floor. I’m not sure why the woodwork appears to be stained red, however.
if there is a sunday open house you can make a confession and get communion.
