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…
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 money to you?

“but this place is a complete wreck. The lintels and the facade are crumbling and coming off in huge hunks. To get a sense of the pricing, you need a structural engineer to get in there.”
You have the wrong place. This place is IMMACULATE on the outside.
No idea what you are talking about.
“Well then perhaps you should tell Mr. Brownstoner that you should write the blog since you apparently do so much of a better job than he with listing the open houses. ”
I simply posted a link and said it looks like a nice house. I don’t claim to do a better job than this site’s publisher, and for your information, I DID in fact send the link to him for consideration to be profiled. I think he does a fine job and I enjoy the site thoroughly. Even your snarky, bitter comments.
that you should live in a location that is located in a location?
Yes, but you know what the say about location, location, location…
sure lots will like this, but i agree with 2:08. it’s too much. it just seems so old. like you should be 90 and dying to live there.
for this money, couldn’t you get a smokin’ apartment not so far from manhattan?
BTW 2:29,
There are LOTS of houses with this kind of woodwork. Check out Bed-Stuy. I’ve seen houses that rival…and exceed…this one.
“2nd street really isn’t North Slope, right? It’s more like plain old ‘classic slope'”
I’d describe it as “Vanilla Slope”
Now, THAT be some good real-estate porn. It’s soooo rare to find a house with that much elaborate woodwork at all, let alone in that kind of perfect condition. And not stained super-dark, too. Niceeeeeeeeeee.
MontroseMorris,
Love you dearly but don’t love that glass door too much…it’s probably some repro and even if not, it’s kind of banal and kind of ugly.
