House of the Day: 580A 19th Street
While there’s no getting around the fact that this 13-foot-wide house at 580A 19th Street in Windsor Terrace is on the small side, we’re surprised that its low price hasn’t attracted more interest as an apartment alternative (it’s got just two bedrooms and one bathroom).

While there’s no getting around the fact that this 13-foot-wide house at 580A 19th Street in Windsor Terrace is on the small side, we’re surprised that its low price hasn’t attracted more interest as an apartment alternative (it’s got just two bedrooms and one bathroom). After sitting on the market for the past several months at $599,000, the 1,300-square-foot, two-story brick house was just reduced to $575,000. The recent renovation means that there’s a modern kitchen but no visible historic details. Think the price cut will help get a deal done?

Yeah, must concur about the slope. A bowling ball would roll from the front to the back FAST. It’s a big slope. And the basement is really more like a little creepy space to put a bunch of boxes.
I live in this area which is a very safe, has a great elementary school, is a 5 minute walk to the train, Prospect Park & shops. Many houses in WT and Park Slope have sloping floors and no repairs are required if you are willing to live with the incline. Yes, its on the highway which is a minus but this house a few blocks away would be considerably more.
For someone who wants their own house rather than a condo, this seems like one of the most reasonably priced houses Ive seen in a while. Im surprised its not sold.
You hit the nail on the head Suzy
you’re in the high end of the sweet spot for buyers who are not wealthy.
don’t wish to sound like a doom ‘n gloomer, but things are looking decidedly unpleasant for the average joe.
700K and up? no problem! 500K and down? problemo.
For the money, a coop in that area would get you more space and no mechanical problems.
The highway and off-ramp would eliminate it for me.
I looked at this place too.
The house slopes almost a foot from front to back. The ground is shifting/sinking and the foundation is cracked.
It’s something that couldn’t be properly fixed for under 100k is the estimate i was given by an engineer.
if it was 300,000 Id buy it today
I also saw the house. Its nice yet small and faces the highway. The ramp off of Prospect Expwy 10/11th avenue comes down the street which is not enticing.
15th Street/Prospect Park subway isn’t too far, about 10 min walk.
