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.

there are no real people left.
11:41 Billsburg is a bunch of posers. All the real people live in Bushwick, Bed-Stuy and Harlem.
You billsburg rejects are a bunch of afterthoughts who showed up after the place turned into a turd factory filled w/ yuppies who think they’re cool b/c they all dress alike (women’s jeans on men would be one good example of some retarded crap going on out there). Anyone with an original bone in their body instinctively pukes when exiting the L at bedford.

why troubled by HUP – it’s much more accurate in williamsburg than trust funder, hipster or whatever.
i live there work in photo industry have neighbors that are designers, record execs, small biz owners of clothing retail, cool bars, or fashion lines. run into people i know from advertising everywhere etc.. etc..
there are some finance and lawyer types of course, but like my one friend who is an attorney, he is also in a band.
it’s definitely not yuppie in the typical sense of the word, but definitely full of people who work for a living – just in cool stuff.
this sounds too good to be true besides the fixing part. whats the catch? too much to read through alot of white noise.
We’ve actually been in the top floor apartment which is in nice shape. No fancy kitchen/bath but perfectly livable, even charming. The hallway was well maintained. I believe the owners are elderly, but they seem to have maintained the property well. How do you figure $300K for the renovation? Seems a bit steep to me. Also, anyone know what the lower duplex configuration is? That is, is it the typical kitchen on garden level and bedrooms on parlor floor? I always dislike the way the parlor floor gets “wasted” on bedrooms since that’s the floor with the highest ceilings, and thus best for public, entertaining space. I’d much rather sleep in a bedroom that has low-ish ceilings (as garden floors usually do, and top floors sometimes do as well) and have a nice high-ceilinged kitchen/dining/LR for hanging out with family/friends.
man, that Slope retail thread got really depressing. I need a shot of whisky with my cupcake.
oh–and lets wash it down with some Orange Julius!
yummy, yummy.
I just had two cupcakes over on that scarily angry “breeders vs. single breeder haters” but I’ve always got room for one more. Make mine angel food with chocolate marshmallow icing and “Fucktard” written in gold leaf!
