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.

All oversized pier mirrors in the slope are mirror topped caskets.
Bob Marvin, you are an embarrassment to these boards with your factual replies to earnest questions.
Can we auction off all of Park Slope. Sell the neighborhood to China maybe.
“”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?””
Could be a way for the original owner to brag that he had a modern house with CENTRAL HEAT and didn’t need that old-fashioned fire place 🙂
I think any earnest statements should be expunged from the boards. they have no place here. Neither do HUPs.
It’s a court ordered sale. There’s a mandatory waiting/viewing period. A judge will determine the winning bid in about two months.
Basically, it’ll be an auction.
“There’s been a term going around – HUP. Hip urban professional. It does describe most in Williamsburg whether single or married.”
I’m troubled by the earnestness of this statement.
If this 50 million was in CG it would be worth 100 million.
Does anyone know what the upkeep is like on the exterior of a limestone building. Anything like the upkeep on a brownstone, where resurfacing costs upwards of $60,000.
