The four-story brownstone at 158 St. John’s Place is a classic North Slope winner that we suspect will generate plenty of interest at the asking price of $2,850,000. The listing says the house needs work, but the living and bedrooms all look pretty sweet to us! Killer mahagony wood work and parquet floors. We suspect that the kitchen, bathrooms and mechanics of the house are where the reno dollars will have to be focused. Anyone have more details on the condition of that stuff? There’s an open house coming up this Sunday for those in the $3 million bracket.

4:33….i’m guessing that was before brownstoner became a for-profit business entity also…
good does not always equal profitable in this world of the internets.
OHHH i remeber when this use to be a good site with nice well behaved people…
with all the hatred on the internet, do you not wonder why, 4:26?
Some people just can’t pick up on sarcasm on the internet…
Construction should not be no more than 10-20% of the purchase price
3:35, what idiot in their right mind would remove mahogany? What are you going to replace it with IKEA panelling?
i just redid two bathrooms with all high end finishes for 20K and a kitchen for 50K. sanding the floors about 3K.
tell me how it takes a million to restore a house?
24K gold plumbing?
i’m sure he’s kidding.
either that, or a moron.
people don’t just pick up and move to paris for the hell of it, or the west coast.
ever heard about a little thing called a job?
kids? school?
MOST people now buying property in brooklyn are coming from manhattan.
If you spend 40k/floor, the house will be worth 2.4 when you are done, but Home Depot will be happy (for a change, right the What?).
