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.

“or it has something majorly wrong with it.”
Yeah, it’s in Park Slope.
Agreed 2:29. I’m in the market. I think this is a cute house. My only problem is that I think I’d rather spend an additional $400K and get an extra story with those 2 or more additional rooms. It also give you more leeway in terms of renting out a unit later.
This seems really reasonable. Very curious to see what price it sells for. Im guessing more than 1.6M or it has something majorly wrong with it.
Say what you will about Park Slope, but there are plenty of people who love it and are looking for a place under $2mil. Most places in the slope at this price are much farther from the park or have had their ceilings dropped and their details stripped. Sure, it’s a busy block and needs some work, but if it were on 3rd street and pristinely renovated already it would cost $1mil more.
I would snap this up…but I’m $45 short of the asking price….damn hoodie!
If the house were priced at 3.5m you people would be complaining. It’s priced right at 1.6m and you people are complaining. You can’t win in this town.
I couldn’t even buy a brownstoner sweatshirt for $300,000.
The drug store only closed because Rite Aid bought Eckerds and consolidated
$300,000 would go a long way most places…to buy a whole new house. Sometimes I think we have all become like the folks in Weimar Germany taking their wheelbarrows full of Deutchmarks to buy a loaf of bread…
