House of the Day: 40 St. Marks Avenue
After purchasing the brownstone at 40 St. Marks Avenue in Park Slope for $900,000 in 2003, the current owners set about doing a renovation that looks to be quite tastefully modern. We’re not sure how much original detail they had to work with, but a couple of marble fireplaces are about all we can spot…
After purchasing the brownstone at 40 St. Marks Avenue in Park Slope for $900,000 in 2003, the current owners set about doing a renovation that looks to be quite tastefully modern. We’re not sure how much original detail they had to work with, but a couple of marble fireplaces are about all we can spot now. Still, it looks like a quality job, so we suspect they’ll be plenty of interested parties. Whether they’ll be able to swallow $2,195,000 for a house between 5th and 6th Avenues remains to be seen.

hahhahah … I love it.
All the “traditional Park Slope” 7th Avenue snobs are crapping their pants as potential buyer after buyer voices a preference for 5th Avenue on this thread (better shops, restaurants, subways).
Down with Connecticut Muffin 7th Ave snobbery, long live 5th Ave and the NEW PARK SLOPE!
Huzzah!!
4:42 – I disagree. I am a potential buyer looking for brownstones in PS (coming from Manhattan). And my husband and I are less interested in the park than we are express trains. We can afford a longer walk to the park when we need to (even if it’s far away) but the daily commute is MUCH more important to us.
Having said that, I think this home is well located for our needs but totally overpriced for what it is (small lot, narrow, etc.).
how far do you think the park is from a grocery on 7th ave. 2 blocks, and there are many on 8th ave in the south slope, as well. So no you’re talking one blcok lol. Gimme a break, living near the park will always command a premium.
they must want a lot of weekends full of people tramping thru their place. not exactly “priced to move”
At the right price.
The renovation will sell it – to the right buyer.
That short lot really screws it up for this poor house. Too bad.
i used to not like houses near 5th ave. but things have change so much on 5th ave. now its cool. plus being near the subway is a plus. slight walk to the park.
i think it could sell probably like 1.8 mill.
i’m surprised no one has mentioned the 12″ ceilings. that sounds pretty cramped!
