House of the Day: 158 St. John's Place
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…
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.

To 3:51 – You’re not serious, are you?
i think 40K per floor is much more accurate than a million.
100K for an architect is ridiculous.
we’re not talkin meier here.
my boyfriend is an architect and they’d draw up plans for 20K.
you are out of your mind with 40k. you’ll spend 100k on an architect alone easy
500K????? you can get another house for that much… I say $40,000 a floor and with a good honest contractor…
will only cost 500k … everyone has their hand in your pocket
Do a lot of people who own in Manhattan sell and move to Brooklyn? Me thinks not.
They may move to Paris, they may move to the West Coast, to Greenwich, but to Brooklyn?
maybe if you are the GC, architect, engineer, and expiditor
depending on how much damage has been done to the woodwork and how many layers of paint are gooped onto the walls and ceilings, yes, it could cost close to $1 mil. to really restore this pile. That would include rethinking the kitchen spaces, gutting the bathrooms, probably converting to gas and updating plumbing and electric. New windows, too? foundation work? who knows?
True, all the details are there, and that’s what makes it an expensive proposition. If everything’s already gone, then you just gut and go…
you can renovate from top to bottom with incredible finishes for 500K.
and that’s assuming it’s a total wreck, which this does not look to be.
