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. 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…

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.

It’s an old timer who is selling. House hasn’t traded since 1977. Those are the kinds of houses that are worth it. Some old timers price high and are inflexible (like St. Johns Place owner) and others are more reasonable.

Oh come on with the Williamsburg vs Park Slope debate. Completely different nieghborhoods, attracting different individuals.
If ya ask me, when I think of Williamsburg, I think of trendy, hip, hipsters.
When I think of Park Slope I think strollers, yuppies, and lesbian moms. Oh, did I say that?
HA!
Park Slump is here again.
The taxes are $4596. What are you guys talking about???
This place is great, but 7th Ave in Center Slope is turning into a ghost town these days. Everything is closed or closing, like Dags, the Gothic cabinet, 7th Ave books,Maggie Moos, Tempo Presto, Slope Books and the 2nd Street Cafe AND the huge empty drugstore on 5th and 9th street. It looks abandoned. Are these places even being filled? They are sitting empty for so long. It’s pretty sad.
I have heard that mercury from Park Slope urine has seeped out of the waste pipes and into the soil. Soon all the trees will be dead. Then, finally, Williamsburg will take its rightful place as….
oh no, wait, it’ll still be a tar paper, asbestos and snot constructed shithole. Sorry.
The Cod Gurgles.
That extra 6 inches did wonders for me.
