House of the Day: 590 2nd Street
The house at 590 2nd Street is quintessential North Central Slope goodness: Four stories of hardcore wood paneling and moldings, parquet floors and stained glass windows. The two-family house, which has been owned by the same family since 1994, is asking $3,200,000, which is about what we would have predicted. Does that sound on the…

i’d paint it pink.
I think this home was made for DRACULA, after he left Transylvania for the U.S.
9:26 – I’m curious what your perception of the “slope demographic” is, and how the open house crowd did not fit into that. Care to share?
i’m being serious here…but brooklyn native….i think that house you linked is going to go into a bidding war. wow!
stunning house also.
both of these homes make me realize why i love brownstone brooklyn so much.
But the one Brooklyn native showed is much nicer.
i don’t mind if people rip out or do whatever they please to the inside of their homes, 9:19. i don’t mind modern, nor do i mind a glass wall in the back.
i’m actually more interested in the beauty of these homes from the exterior, and i also like the period detail but i’m not nutty about it.
that’s why buying property is so nice. you can do whatever the hell you please on the inside.
Brooklyn native, yes that’s a nice home. But so is this one. They’re both beautiful. I’m sure that one will be featured soon.
9:28, of course it’s not a “deal”. BUT, relative to the insanely high prices for lesser houses in neighborhoods with less amenities, yes, it is considered a good deal. It’s comparatively speaking, that’s all.
Am I the only one shocked that 3.2 is considered a “deal”? Yes, it’s nice (if you like that style, which I don’t really – I agree that all that woodwork is oppressive and good for dying or eating roast mutton). But it’s not particularly large – not even 20′ wide, or 50′ deep, and a shortish lot (95). There is a floor plan, by the way, on the BHS web site, and it looks like the kitchen is indeed in a kind of weird, long and narrow extension – not very conducive to hanging out with your guests when you have a dinner party, though I suppose the hired help must prepare all the food in such a house. Anyway, I think this market is truly bonkers and I pray to god 2008 brings some sensibility at last (as the NYT Sunday real estate section no less predicted this past weekend)…
