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?

the layout blows.
ah…but the curb appeal is that there is a cut and your own parking spot!!
Be interesting to know history of building and strange layout..Was it built as something other than house or did have ‘horsewalk’ to backyard that was later filled in and included in house?
I’m sure plenty of FAR if wanted to expand and priced competitively enough for Open House pick on Friday on same block. Funkier or more eclectic or maybe eccentric look than tradional row/townhouse/brownstone. Which has appeal. Just not to the traditionalists.
I hate to get bitchy on you guys, but I’m nominating this for the ugliest kitchen ever spotted in a $1M plus home. . .
The curb appeal ain’t much better, either
love it
This block is very industrial; lots of trucks. But, as you said not much on the market under $1.3, so interesting to see what it goes for.
plus the block is mostly commercial/manufacturing and the yard backs up to a dumping ground for ranshackled cars
js…what slope r u talking about…b/c if it’s park slope….this ain’t it
Warren Lewis linky no worky.
It’s super cute.. and on 8th street still kinda in the slope… definately reasonable
