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.

Are those sprinkler pipes I see?
ok facade looks decent, maybe 900k. look, if grandma polsihed the linoleum it still needs to be ripped out.
that’s absurd, 3:36.
Cost you a millio clams to get this done right.
The question is what to do with the dreary mahogany that seems to be smeared all over this house like peanut butter. Bet it will cost a bundle to have all that removed.
2:13 and 2:29 are correct. I saw this house with Slope Heights realty at one of their open houses. It is the same house that was listed with Townsley. It’s a really nice house with lot of beautiful wood details. It will need much renovation to get it in shape. The yard is too small for my taste. The lots behind this house are very long and eat up the yards of this house and the ones next to it.
This will be a lovely home for a young couple from Manhattan, who in 1999 paid 200K for a 2 bedroom and just sold it for 1.9 million.
This is a perfectly good house for a multi-millionaire who wishes to live in central Brooklyn and is looking for a project to keep him/her busy.
There’s bound to be one out there and that’s all you need.
2:20–it’s the same house. That oriental runner is on the stairs for the top floors. It is the SAME house. Call the broker and ask him the address.
