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…

Interesting double entendre Rehab, but we certainly have great wainscotting in PLG :-).
This Spring’s house tour will be our 38th one.
To add to your comment, 5:24….5:01 is very naive to think that the house alone makes up 100% of it’s price.
I think he/she has never heard of a little thing called location, location, location.
This one seems to have the best of both worlds.
This is a good housing for dying in.
5:01, I was not referring to the Wash Park house that sold last year and was reduced from $4 mill to $3 mill. I am referring to the more recent Wash Park listings ($2.8 and $3.8!! both featured on brownstoner–do a search) that have nothing going on on the inside, or on the outside for that matter, and one of them is even still classified as an SRO. Also, 274 Clinton Ave, priced at $3 million. There is no comparison with this house.
This house is for stiffs. That dining room is for eating roast mutton. This is charm?
I have to say…for a thread on a home in Park Slope, this one has been suprisingly mature and on the up and up.
I think strollers were only mentioned once.
Hot.
House is loverly.
In terms of price…someone referred to a house in FG:
L’s 5-story gut reno’d and restored (not my taste) house on FG Park was a lot more house (height, scale, width, garden) and older…and it was a one-family. The house exposéd here does not compare.
Easy boys.
Ah, Bob–another reason I need to get out to your house tour in Lefferts (there is one, right?) Always love to see some good wood….
I agree with the previous poster about putting paint on virgin woodwork. As much as I understand the appeal of the lighter, brighter look of painted wood, I can’t bring myself to do that. Not to hardwood like oak and mahogany. I just paint the walls a light color and call it a day.
