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 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.

rehab….i thought you liked the boys with their pants down?
Hey, literary boy, I stop reading your posts about five words into them. Also, put your pants back on.
2:13….if you’ll notice in the pictures, the one listed on Prudential has solid burgundy carpeting going up the staircase, while the home listed on the site you linked, has an oriental style runner going up the staircase.
I believe this is a different home.
Hey broker/seller/person with vested interest at 2:04: You can call up Townsley & Gay and ask for a Mr. Schiller; he had the listing first, at the beginning of the year.
THEN, you’ll SEE THAT THIS HOUSE IS STILL LISTED with the previous broker at Slope Heights Realty–it’s their FEATURED LISTING, at 50K less, and they’ve already had various open houses in October.

Hey…I’ll take the lovely poetic words over “The What” garbage.
It’s appropriate for a PS listing.
Looks like Safran Foer is bored today, again.
Until I see proof that the home has indeed been listed for over a year with other brokerages, I’m skeptical to believe posters on Brownstoner, many of which may or may not be brokers with an agenda.
You’ll have to forgive me.
From my knowledge of recent sales in this area, this price is fair for a home that needs some work. Maybe something more like 2.7 would seem better, but that’s what offers are for.
1:59…parent of the year.
My aunt lived in the same house on 3rd St at the park. (Currenly valued at over 3M) The parlor floor kitchen is so small because it was originally only a butler’s panty, complete with dumb waiter. The actual kitchen was what this house has listed aa the garden floor dining room. The closet in the garden flat was the pantry. Yes the kitchen will need major upgrading. ALso these house do have very old, beautiful dark wood. Which also makes the houses very dark and gothic. Which is fine if your a vampire. Love the woodwork, hate the gloom
