House of the Day: 273 Baltic Street
This listing at 273 Baltic Street is just popped up on Corcoran—unfortunately without any photos.

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.

Two thoughts on the lack of pics:
1. You have NO idea what sortof PR machine Brownstoner is. The properties discussed on here are heavily trafficked…with or without pics.
2. When you are talking about 2 million dollars homes, these brokers have clients they call that they know are looking. They don’t rely on the average joe scouring pages to see the pics…they schedule appoitments with serious buyers who are going to want to see the place inside with their very own 2 eyes.
The pics are meaningless when it comes to most of these properties. If we left it all up to pics, most of you wouldn’t have bought anything because you didn’t like the furniture in the damn place.
If the pics were horrendous, the serious buyers will still go look, because a lot of times it’s just cosmetic stuff. If not, the pics don’t tell you the mechanical condition of a 2 million dollar, 100 year old home.
You just want to see the pics so you can trash it, say how the furniture looks like it’s from pottery barn, exclaim how overpriced it is, then disappear when you find out it sold above ask the next week.

just leave people to do what they want.
isn’t it bad enough we aren’t going to be allowed to wear low rise jeans soon…?
get over yourselves and pics on website.
The agent with most of the priciest props in Brooklyn Hts (Kevin Carberry) doesn’t even seem to have a website – nevermind pics and floorplans.
You people just seem to like to be critical if not done way you’d like.
As I said – show me another house move-in condition at this price in immediate vicinity.
Call the neighborhood whatever pleases your border obsessed minds.

The What has a point.
Anonymously bashing him is lame.
I think he’s a little strange, and gets off track a lot, but dont think he needs to be bashed.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to buy two houses for that price in one of the “fringe” areas. The What can do the calculations, but you get 40 feet x 8 floors or two houses for 1.9 or less; it would seem like a no brainer, but that would be in a raceless world.
my wife makes that on a good night down by the NOVO.
HEY 3:38!!!
Would it be the same number if the women made the $175,000 and the female made the $50,000.
Great,..I make under 100k,.. call me loser!
16 feet wide and three floors for 1.9mil, that is alot to pay for a Viking stove and a suspended staircase.
