House of the Day: 106 Lincoln Place
Except for the recessed lighting on the parlor floor (and the lack of some crown moldings), the brownstone at 106 Lincoln Place in Park Slope is looking pretty tasty. (The single-family house is one of six in a row designed by Brooklyn architect F. B. Langston in the late 1880s.) There’s some drool-worthy woodwork and…
Except for the recessed lighting on the parlor floor (and the lack of some crown moldings), the brownstone at 106 Lincoln Place in Park Slope is looking pretty tasty. (The single-family house is one of six in a row designed by Brooklyn architect F. B. Langston in the late 1880s.) There’s some drool-worthy woodwork and a permanent parking space to boot. The price of $3,150,000 feels pretty 2007 to us but it’s certainly not impossible for something like this in move-in condition.

Please post pics, rowr!
People, recessed lighting is not for romantic dinners, it’s for using your living room as a family room like most New Yorkers have to do. Someone said recessed lighting was “harsh”. Well, yeah. Exactly. Because when you’re cleaning, or you’re reading, or your children are playing in that room, you need a more brightly lit room.
We don’t have recessed lighting. But I need to figure something out because our antique sconces aren’t cutting it! I’m in there cleaning and I’m like, hmm well it LOOKS clean, but who knows because it’s so dim in here. We bought a floor lamp for reading but it’s like a spotlight for one person to read when the book is held in a certain position.
Someday I’d like some recessed lighting on a dimmer switch, along with the antique sconces and chandelier. All on different switches so I could design my lighting. Meanwhile I’m buying a helmet with a light attached to it to wear when cleaning. Like a coal miner.
Recessed lighting? Let’s talk about the recessed economy.
282 is pretty bad, dude.
The age of Malinvestment. Keep building Condos!! Build build build!! Build places that no one can afford. Keep loaning money to people that can’t pay it back. Keep fraud going in our financial markets. Just keep the bullshit going.
When it blows up maybe, just maybe things can go back to normal.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end….
this house is in PS 282. not a bad school, but not considered as “strong” as 321 or 29. 29 is in Cobble hill, btw.
Well, I also think this house, and the other two Lincoln Place ones that didn’t sell, are very underwhelming and not worth $3 million.
Maybe cause the guy who owns all three of these is a little nuts and turns people off?
It’s the reason I’m not interested.
He’s a weirdo.
Some old guy who bought the three places for a song now about to cash in on 9 million bucks. Yeah, I can see how that might be a little overwhelming.
Sucks to be him. Maybe he’ll stop his meds long enough to realize that even if he sold these babies for 2 million each (a BARGAIN BASEMENT price by todays standards for these homes), he could live like Paris Hilton for the rest of his days on the 6 million smackers.
Don’t know 8:17–it worked for that Lincoln Place house, but failed to move these, more narrow ones also on Lincoln Place.
