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.

2:09…I find Lincoln Place to be a far superior location than 2nd Street….
About 5 blocks closer to the subway for one.
And good subways…like 2/3/Q.
Not the F.
And yes…wealthy people DO still take the subways contrary to popular belief.
Actually 2:05 with 20% down, a 3 million dollar house is $14,000 a month on a 30 year fixed mortgage.
Still a lot of money, but it ain’t 20 grand.
It’s doable for a couple makeing 500K a year and some equity from a previous home sale.
For this price I’d rather have this 2nd Street house:

And the 2nd Street house hasn’t moved at that price. They’ve had many open houses. I saw it and it’s very lovely, and move-in condition. It’s just not moving at that price.
That recessed lighting would be a bit harsh on my waxed moustache and bowler hat.
I think these properties appeal to people who don’t need to take out a mortgage.
I better make sure when I put my house on the market, I take out the fridge and put the ICE chest back in to make sure it’s up to the standards of the brownstoner crowd.
3 mil, means a mortgage payment of something like 20 grand a month. It amazes me that there are some many brownstones priced at 2 to 3 mil.
Why is recessed lighting such a bad thing? Can no modern updates be added to a classic old house? Maybe you should throw out your TVs and computers…they’re not original to the house! Jeez…
This block is perfection.
Best part of the slope.
Don’t think 3 million is a stretch.
Not with zero inventory of nice, ready to move into homes in Park Slope right now.
Anyone else noticed that inventory just ain’t there??
