House of the Day: 369 6th Street
This new listing at 369 6th Street isn’t the biggest or most ornate house in Park Slope but it sure is cute as a button.

This new listing at 369 6th Street isn’t the biggest or most ornate house in Park Slope but it sure is cute as a button. The three-story brick is a legal two-family but has been configured as a one-family. The moldings and woodwork are impressive and the place clearly has had a tasteful renovation at some point recently. So the question is not whether this place will catch the eye of buyers but what they will make of the $1,749,000 asking price. Thoughts?

“Now THIS is a home for a real gazillionaire:”
exactly.
gazzilionaires live in UES townhouses.
rich live in park slope townhouses
middle class live in ditmas, lpg, queens townhouses
what’s wrong with this picture?
“The prize is crazy. But the market for houses in the Slope is crazier still. This will likely go close to ask.”
Why is the price crazy? This area commands this price because it attracts people of certain status and income. What is crazy is to believe you can live anywhere while your income is average.
Now THIS is a home for a real gazillionaire:

“Thoughts?” – My thought is I would love to start a copy writing and editing workshop series for brokers. It’s – its are not interchangeable, for starters.
also think they should have taken out that interior wall to open up the space. Many of the 3 story houses around here are less than 18′, and replacing that useless hallway with a couple of load-bearing columns or built-ins really opens up the space.
The prize is crazy. But the market for houses in the Slope is crazier still. This will likely go close to ask.
At the risk of sounding offensive, one doesn’t have to be a gajillionaire to buy a $1.8 million home. One does have to have assets and/or a solid income, but I think it’s misleading to assume people buying these homes are all super filthy rich.
Case in point: quick search just now on Streeteasy shows 3,157 homes in New York City that are currently listed for above $1.5 million. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of properties that have sold for that amount or more in the history of New York is in the high 5 digits.
“Cute house, but 1.8 million of cute?”
let the people who have this kind of money to decide
This is a gem. Like the sliding glass doors for kitchen passthru. As for narrowness, this when a mother of pearl plated 9mm pistol will have the same effect as a sawed off shotgun.

“Cute house, but 1.8 million of cute?”
I’ve learned not to underestimate the number of gajillionaires who want to live in Park Slope and have no qualms about spending this kind of money to do so.
