House of the Day: 396 Vanderbilt Avenue
It’ll be interesting to see what 396 Vanderbilt Avenue ultimately sells for. A pristine brownstone in this location could probably fetch the asking price of $1,995,000, but this place falls a little short of that description.

It’ll be interesting to see what 396 Vanderbilt Avenue ultimately sells for. A pristine brownstone in this location could probably fetch the asking price of $1,995,000, but this place falls a little short of that description. The four-story, two-family house has the requisite old moldings and marble fireplaces but some details have been lost and the house as a whole will definitely need some renovation. Given all that, we think this is off the mark in the current market by at least 10 percent. If not more.

original, turn-of-the-century iron on a garden level is sweet. It’s that shitty stuff they put on the lower level nowadays that signal “minorities present!”
All homes in Park Slope have bars on the Garden level, 2:43.
Especially in the landmarked blocks.
I happen to think they are interesting and lovely and add to the period detail of the homes.
Last year when I was still living in Cobble Hill, in the middle of the day, I saw this MF**ker trying to break into a ground floor apt{with bars).
Very weird experience.
I think he was on drugs as he didn’t realise the ridiculousness of his act.
Cops came and took him away.
Cobble Hill!
Don’t know about the price, but that is one zany interior. I like it.
Lots of windows bars in Park Slope too. Seems a bit excessive to me, but there you have it.
Bars were necessary in the 80s. Still necessary for ground floor apts; not sure about upper floors. But once you’ve got them, why remove them?
Do people in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill still feel a need for bars on their parlor floor windows? Just asking. One usually does not see bars on featured houses in Park Slope or Carroll Gardens or Brooklyn Heights. It is a real visual clue to the safety of a neighborhood. I would stay away from an area where an entire row of houses all have bars on their parlor windows. That is Inner City.
Payment in Euros or Dinars, please.
B’stoner has a bad link.
