House of the Day: 293 8th Street

When Two Trees opened a real estate brokerage arm a few weeks ago, we assumed it was to primarily sell its own properties in Dumbo. As today’s House of the Day demonstrates, though, they’ve branched out to selling brownstones in other parts of the borough. The three-story house at 293 8th Street between 5th and 6th Avenue in Park Slope is just up the hill from yesterday’s HOTD. The house only has a little over 2,000 square feet of living space so the asking price of $1,599,000, though low on an absolute basis for the neighborhood, isn’t particularly cheap. And although the listing claims that there are plenty of original details, it frustratingly withholds any photos to back it up. Has anyone gotten a look at the interior yet?

A safe fell on my head on this block, when I was on my way to work at the Susquehana Hat Company.
I was beaten and killed on that block. The city is going to build a jail and half-way house across the street. Drug dealers love this block. lol
My car got broken into on that block about 6 months ago.
Looks like their website is a demo. Look at the contact information for this listing. Usually developers/sponsors are hated by condo owners by the time they are thinking about resale. Is Walentas’ company really the exception to the rule?
Two Trees = D U M B oh! Why not scavange for every dime afterall Welentas has a big lawn bill to pay in Bridgehampton.
This is my block. It’s true that it is not an idyllic park slope block with uninterrupted brownstones as far as the eye can see. But, it’s a nice block with friendly families and terrific access to shops, services and the subway. No dog shit problems, and no loitering either, except for the older people who hang out in front of the rather worn down building next to the parking lot.
I would note that this block is about to be torn up for a good year+ this fall…the YMCA is putting a new pool and building in the parking lot that sits behind their existing building on 9th STreet. Construction trucks plan to use 8th Street to access the site. It’s going to be pretty sucky, and if I were an owner contemplating a sale, I’d get on that before the construction starts in the fall/winter.
Hey 3:51,
Love your phrase about this block having
“dog shit problems.”
sounds like a band name to me…
Doesn’t this face the back of the CVS parking lot? Not a bad block really, just not a classic brownstone block since the south side is taken up with other uses, mostly from the back of the 9th St commercial strip. On the other hand it has great transit and shopping access!
2:23 said “It is not so nice between 4th and 5th but between 5th and 6th is nice.”
I walk to the 9th Street subway every day and 5th Street between 5th Ave & 4th Ave holds its own against any street between 5th & 6th. All original townhouses, nice facades, no empty lots, etc.
That said, there are some scrappier blocks between 4th & 5th Aves. With all the new condos on 4th Ave, that will change very soon.
