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?

  1. 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.
