House of the Day: 242 Washington Avenue
We had already started to write up 242 Washington Avenue as a House of the Day when it hit us: We’ve been inside that house. We were guests at a lovely al fresco dinner party last summer. In fact, Mrs. B had just been talking about how the owner’s duplex would make a good interiors…
We had already started to write up 242 Washington Avenue as a House of the Day when it hit us: We’ve been inside that house. We were guests at a lovely al fresco dinner party last summer. In fact, Mrs. B had just been talking about how the owner’s duplex would make a good interiors post. Given the conflict of interest, we’ll steer clear of opining about the $2,300,000 asking price, and just say that the owner’s duplex of this five-story, 5,500-square-foot house is really nicely done in a simple but elegant manner. We’ve never seen the upper three rental units, but judging from the photos they’re not as nice. They do, as the listing points out, generate over $50,000 a year in income. This’ll be an interesting one to watch.

Oh my god I saw it. Its true.
Okay, I STILL don’t see how this is 5500 squ ft. That’s 1100 per floor. If it is (generously speaking) nearly 58 feet long on all 5 floors. Owner, is that the case? That is incredibly long — much more so than a standard brownstone, or even one with an extension on a floor or two.

Ah yes all the expertise here.
“And it doesn’t seem like a terrible investment, if you plan to stay for a while.”
A while might be 20 years in this case, but yes, I agree with you…
Is it Mr. B who needs to get out of his so called blog bubble, or all you “guests” who snipe anonymously?
Let’s all just take a deep breath and let the market sort out whether this place is overpriced or not. And it doesn’t seem like a terrible investment, if you plan to stay for a while.
“Ugh. One of the owners here, and we’re baffled, too–those photos are a couple of years old and not particularly flattering. Corcoran is sending a photographer next week. Apologies, everyone”
How are you baffled, did C. steal the photos from you? You must have given them to the broker if they are pre-renovation, where else would they come from? The C. link is down.

Queer Eye dude, here.
