House of the Day: 557 7th Street
557 7th Street was a House of the Day back in 2009 when it was asking $2,200,000. The sellers never got their price but that hasn’t stopped them from returning to the market this week with a new asking price of $2,400,000. The single-family house has been extensively renovated since it traded for $1,460,000 back…

The single-family house has been extensively renovated since it traded for $1,460,000 back in 2006 (an admittedly great deal at the time). It’ll be interesting to see what it fetches this go-round.

I agree with others…it’s nice, except for the kitchen
Truly awful design; it’s as if the homeowner showed an interior designer a dozen photos of Suze Orman’s attire and said, “I want my home to look like this.”
Love the staircase. Something about super dark wood up against white just gets me going. Wonder why the price increase.
Why did they close the fireplace in the bedroom? But I do like the bathroom…
Somebody loves to design! This place is done up like a makeover show, which I suspect is a good thing (for the sellers.)
It’s a bit pricy, but there are so few houses in a modern style, and all they need is one buyer. It reminds me of the HOTD in the south Slope a few months ago; I thought the price was crazy, but it went and pretty fast/close to ask.
I could live with this reno generally, but agree that the kitchen floor is a problem. It would have to go (but could probably be fairly easily covered over – I like something with more give than tile underfoot in the kitchen anyway.) Otherwise, nice house.
And, while not a problem for me, the canopy over baby’s crib is a danger to the baby.
Dang, this is just a tad bit more than we can afford. Nevertheless, what is a “five piece bathroom” referred to by the listing agent? Tub, sink, shower, toilet (+ bidet)? Corny.
The hunt continues…
Decor isnt all that bad. Really some of you should post photos of your amazingly perfect apartments so we can judge.
Rob, are you like 20% retarded?
I think it’s nice, apart from the kitchen.
Would guess $2.0 to $2.2.
