House of the Day: 158A Nevins Street
This small brick house at 158A Nevins Street in Boerum Hill certainly isn’t cheap on a per square foot basis but, regardless of size, we suspect that the prospect of a house in Boerum Hill for $1,229,000 (especially one that’s in good shape) will be enough to get a few folks out of their barcaloungers…
This small brick house at 158A Nevins Street in Boerum Hill certainly isn’t cheap on a per square foot basis but, regardless of size, we suspect that the prospect of a house in Boerum Hill for $1,229,000 (especially one that’s in good shape) will be enough to get a few folks out of their barcaloungers this weekend. The house, which is less than 16 feet wide and only 36 feet deep, sits on a shorter-than-normal lot of 67 feet. But if you’re a house person, this is going to look pretty good compared to a similarly priced apartment, like this loft on 12th Street. Agree?

This price is slightly under market for Boerum Hill due to being a half a block from full on gentrification. Not a bad investment and certainly more than livable.
playa hater
Most simply, a playa hater is someone who openly criticizes, purposefully attempts to sabotage, or who indulges in any number of other activities/behaviors aimed at someone they consider a playa, or even at playas in general.
The derogatory aspect to the term comes in the idea that the person who’s hatin is really only jealous — they playa hate because they wish they could be as successful, or alternately wishes they could somehow have the playa to themself.
So, of course, quite often a playa hater is someone who at some point or other feels they were done wrong by a playa.
The price is in line with recent sales on Wyckoff Street between Bond & Nevins and on Bond Street between Wyckoff and Bergen for similarly sized houses. I say a 5% discount on the asking price at most.
whoops. should be working now.
crappy little boring house.
I wouldn’t pay half the asking.
Why buy a shoebox in Boerum Hill when you can get a palace in Ft Greene or Clinton Hill for the same money without those gosh awful projects.
Hey B, the 12th street link is incorrect.
The one next door is for sale too, with a strange little brokerage in Queens. I think the asking is $1,129,000 — went to have a look a couple of weeks ago and it was dismal inside. The block is pretty awful too, right next to the projects and these two houses are smack-bang across the street from a parking lot.
I’m curious….every time I see anything for sale in Boreum Hill…by the time I get an appt. to go see it, it’s usually sold.
How exactly is that classified as difficult to sell?
There’s never more than a handful of properties for sale in Boreum Hill.
If that.
