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.

    As per a poster on yesterday’s foreclosure thread (and realtytrac.com): 549 Henry Street, 136 Degraw Street, and 132 Degraw are in pre-foreclosure. I did a search and there are actually LOTS more in pre-foreclosure, including apartments.

    322 President Street is in the last stage of foreclosure and is now bank-owned. Tell me: how is it that one house on the block is in foreclosure and another one that is short and skinny is asking $3.6 for a shitty renovation?
