House of the Day: 150 Bond Street
We all know that Boerum Hill is hot (as hot as anything can be called in this market, that is), but is it really hot enough to justify a three-story gut job asking $2,495,000? Don’t think so. This is a nice looking house from the outside and all, and the three-slot parking garage is worth…

We all know that Boerum Hill is hot (as hot as anything can be called in this market, that is), but is it really hot enough to justify a three-story gut job asking $2,495,000? Don’t think so. This is a nice looking house from the outside and all, and the three-slot parking garage is worth a premium as well, but still…all the current owner has done is get the project approved by DOB and Landmarks and put in new steel beams. What are we missing here?

Got pics of that, Biff? Call me a morbid perv, but I’m into “funny deaths”.
This house could be great. A good architect with experience at landmarks could propose a rooftop addition and more windows, maybe a orojecting bay, on the side wall. On top of the garage I can see a beautiful garden, maybe with a fancy period style conservatory. The garage could be made prettier too. Gut rehabs are the way to go with these formerly crappy buildings.
Tragically, the man in the blue sweats with the orange stripe was hit and killed by a drunken street sweeper three minutes after this picture was taken…
i looked at this in the spring time – small on the inside – at the time it was going for @1.85. pre fix up.
this site gets more disgusting by the day.
9/17/07 – Deed for $1.75MM
12/31/07 – Get canned from Merrill Lynch
03/03/08 – Realize in over head with expensive gut reno, list with shitty local R/E broker at insane mark-up to basis.
06/03/08 – No bites, price chop by $500k
If some one buys and makes changes to the layout, they have to submit and ammendment to Landmarks and DOB…what a headache.
I like this house, it is nice and wide and on the corner, plus the garage. a gem. I say they get the price or close.
Somebody just got fired from their investment banking job, eh?
Selling mid-reno on a single family gut job?!
I’m preparing my low-ball bid now…
