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.

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.

Living near the Park is living near the Park.
Some people have their preference to be near the shops and action, but close proximity to the park will always hold more a premium.
You don’t find any 2.1 million dollar brownstones on park blocks.
None of you would have wanted to live anywhere near 5th Avenue 10 years ago.
You’d be dead.
Looks lovely but realistically this is a 2 bedroom house. The office has no window. Am I the only one that thinks this is exorbitantly priced?
Personally I’d rather live near 5th Avenue will all its amenities, closer to the subway and access to Smith/Court Streets, – even if they are boarded up at 11pm, than the “lush verdant oasis” after 11pm, 2:25!
boerum hill and the north slope ain’t no gowanus adjacent.
“Boreum Hill ain’t the North Slope”
I would argue that the majority of Boerum Hill is actually better than this fringe of the Slope. I will say, though, that it ain’t no BOREUM Hill.
The kitchen looks more like a modern art gallery than a place to cook. Food is messy. My advise to the buyers: Don’t have kids, or build a second kitchen somewhere if you do.
2:25 — You spend much time in that “lush, verdant, oasis of a park” after 11pm?
Boreum Hill ain’t the North Slope.
