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…

For this place I’d even tolerate the stroller moms!
The behavior of 2:11 speaks of the charming arrogance that is particular to Park Slope. In fact the perfect personality for that ridiculous dining room.
I could sit in that living room with a straight face waiting for the butler to bring me a drink.
Brooklynnative,
Yes, I just mentioned how this style is not my favorite and I agree that wainscotting up to a plate rail/shelf is just not my taste…I find it gloomy as do you!
I agree with poster#1: floor plans?! Hello!
And as someone else mentioned, no bathroom or kitchen photos…
“Flawless” ground floor rental? Wah? Are we talking about grades of diamonds? Hhhhh…
Frankly, I’ll take 1850’s over 1890’s ANY day. This house’s interior is not my preferred. I think I would stay away from this type of interior…but this is my taste. I can imagine lots of people fall for this kind of interior.
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 think the best PS we’ve seen in a long time.
I wonder how big the yard is.
I also think this is Paul Auster’s block, no?
“This house was already rudely posted (and discussed) by the broker in last friday’s Carroll Gardens open house listings. We’ve already seen it… Why bother posting again. Why encourage this type of behavior?”
You’re right. Encouraging freedom of speech is so ridiculous. BTW, I posted the link to this home last week. Not a broker…not even remotely close…I happened upon this house online and posted it because I thought it was a far better house (and frankly more interesting) than any of the Carroll Gardens homes listed. Although I did really love the one tiny Huntington one.
Guess you must feel like a pretty big fool right about now, huh?
Am I the only person who finds that literally over the top woodwork extended to the ceiling a bit gloomy and oppressive?
