House of the Day: 401 Prospect Avenue
Here’s an interesting one…Behind the traditional exterior at 401 Prospect Avenue between 7th and 8th in the South Slope, someone’s done a very modern makeover that looks pretty successful to us. The layout is very open, the finishes clean and the windows large. We suspect there’s a subset of house hunters who this will appeal…
Here’s an interesting one…Behind the traditional exterior at 401 Prospect Avenue between 7th and 8th in the South Slope, someone’s done a very modern makeover that looks pretty successful to us. The layout is very open, the finishes clean and the windows large. We suspect there’s a subset of house hunters who this will appeal to, especially because it’s priced at $1,250,000. Of course, the house is a smallish (as far as houses go) 2,000 square feet. But that’s certainly plenty of room for a one-family. Think it’ll fly? Update: A reader pointed us to the old listing for this place. Go to townsleyandgay.com and scroll down to property 83. Or check out the screen capture on the jump.

looks great, would go for 2.5 here
I like it, except for the see-through panel between the bedroom and the bathroom. That’s for a couple who really shares everything, know what I’m saying?
Is that a construction site next door? The whole south slope is morphing into crudville with sh*tty new construction everywhere.
Holy crap! 12.5 feet wide. 2 real floors above ground. Ugly woodframe exterior. Non-prime ‘hood. $1.25MM. Love it!
It’s very narrow. 1.25 seems like a stretch.
I like it when people bust out of the antique mode for brownstones and do something modern. I support that completely. But I wish people did more interiors that are successfully transitional. Because frankly it’s pretty damn easy these days to do a modern interior without being the slightest bit creative. All you have to do is pick up a catalog or magazine and get on the phone and order everything in your house. It’s cookie-cutter, the current modern interiors. Has nothing to say either. Lacks wit. Modern does not = creative talent.
never set foot in one actually.
i’m not a chain shopper. my apt. is furnished mostly by park slopers trash.
thanks everyone!!
