House of the Day: 126 8th Street
You don’t see a lot of these old wood-frames in Gowanus hit the market. Befitting the neighborhood, this 25-footer at 126 8th Street is a bit eccentric but overall we’re liking it.

You don’t see a lot of these old wood-frames in Gowanus hit the market. Befitting the neighborhood, this 25-footer at 126 8th Street is a bit eccentric but overall we’re liking it. The owners have definitely put their own stamp on the place but have managed to retain lots of old-school charm. Plus, for the drivers out there, there’s a curb cut and front-yard parking. Frankly, there’s so little turnover in the immediate area that we’ve got no idea how the asking price of $1,275,000 stacks up. Thoughts?

8th street bet 3rd & 4th is very nice, 2nd & 3rd? not too sure… ask the prostitutes that work 2nd ave!
Why why why would you spend this money here when you could get a house in Lefferts or Ditmas or Clinton Hill for this–or a palace in Bed Stuy or Crown Heights for less?
I saw this place over the weekend, and it was the creepiest place I’ve ever seen. Would make a good haunted house come October.

the 25′ width and curb cut/parking spot are good. the 30′ depth, layout, location, and general weirdness of the interior are bad.
LOVE the garden! I’m swiping the photo for my idea book.
I like funky. This is fugly.
Maybe it is destined for a tear-down anyway. .
anyone have an idea what those apts would rent for? it’s 8th between 2nd and 3rd.
Appears to have three kitchens/apartments in a two family–prob illegal.
