House of the Day: 273 Baltic Street

This listing at 273 Baltic Street is just popped up on Corcoran—unfortunately without any photos. According to the verbiage, it’s “fully renovated,” complete with central air, a Viking range and a custom media center. We’re guessing that this reno leans toward the modern: “The second floor is accessed via a unique hand made hanging metal staircase which is supported entirely by it’s wall which gives it the appearance of floating from one level to the next.” For $1,995,000 for a three-story, 16-foot-wide house, the reno better be pretty darn nice. Without any pictorial evidence to the contrary, the price sounds like a reach to us.

BTW, I agree that no photos is kind of weird, especially for Corcoran. Usually the brokers make a big deal of taking good pictures. And I think this may be priced a bit high. Not the prettiest block and across from the school and sorta small. But I’ve been surprised before in this neighborhood.
5:09: that was perfect.
my house is that width and it doesn’t feel claustrophobic at all, you just have to knock out the walls between hallway and living room and the width feels great.
And for the record, top 1% is so meaningless in this city. try top .1 percent – that’s who we’re all competing with because they all live (or have pied-a-terres) in this city.
2:10 pm: Was yours a related-party purchase or did you find it on the market? Curious, because we’ve been looking and haven’t seen anything listed in CG at anywhere near your price. Do you mind telling us what the ask was on the place you bought?

High End!?!
You mean High Priced!! This place is not worth 1.9 million. At 16 feet wide and with furniture you’re going to feel claustrophobic. Take 3 steps and you hit the wall. You will not want to stay home very often and if you do you’re going to fight for the window seat.
If going for a Brownstone only go for an 18 footer and up.
This should be priced at least 200k less.
I agree, 5:29. It’ll sell quickly. It’s a great location and it sounds like really high end renovations. I think its reasonably priced, from the description anyway.
5:04- I’m a 1%er and absolutely agree that there should be place for everyone. But for the record, we’re just as much part of what makes this city what it is. And you’re one of the beneficiaries of the crazy high taxes we pay to keep this city going, so I would say you might want to be the one to ‘stop complaining’.

The person who buys this place at 1.9 million should be interviewed by Brownstoner and asked “What were you thinking of!?!?!”
“Do people think this layout is worth $700/sf?”
yea, don’t you?
i predict this place will be sold within 2 weeks.
ok, keep complaining for all i care.
i am a new happy homeowner and make probably 1/4th what you do.
i just don’t spend it all on whores and drugs.
