House of the Day: 547 9th Street
At the asking price of $1,600,000, this three-story limestone at 547 9th Street in Park Slope is the best deal we’ve seen in a long, long time.

At the asking price of $1,600,000, this three-story limestone at 547 9th Street in Park Slope is the best deal we’ve seen in a long, long time. The 3,000-square-foot two-family bay-front is located on a park block and dripping in historic details. The Orrichio Anderson listing says that the lower duplex will require a full renovation; since the floors, woodwork and walls all look in good shape, we assume they mean new bathrooms, kitchens, heating, etc. We bet $300,000 would go a long way here for someone with a little creativity and then look what you’ve got. Fantastic.

Nobody cool says
“There’s been a term going around”
Damn is nabe out of fashion already? So fleeting. Gone with likes of all those stores on 7th Avenue.
“There’s been a term going around – HUP. Hip urban professional. It does describe most in Williamsburg whether single or married.”
GAG me right now!
Hot shirtless guys in the park… mmmmm-mmmm. Gloabl warming, bring it on.
Can someone tell me why some houses have pier mirrors and some have fireplaces in the parlor.. What is the deal with the large mirror? Why did the architects put them in these houses?
1:56 While there are many single 20 and 30 ish types in williamsburg, probably most of the buyers are families with kids. With people not leaving the city, all property is good neighborhoods, especially so close to the city, is going to get gobbled up.

Nobody “cool” uses the word “nabe.”
In fact is is Dork Alert #1.
There is no “cooler” neighborhood to me than Park Slope.
Come summertime, seeing all the hot guys with their shirts off in Prospect Park is enough to keep me here for eternity.
Agreed 2:33,
But I would actually rather live in a cooler nabe.
