House of the Day: 58 Irving Place
Listed last week at $1,350,000, 58 Irving Place must be the cheapest house that hasn’t been ruined by a flipper in Clinton Hill right now. Is it a bargain? Who knows in this market. It is a cute place that, while not fancy (nor on the best block), appears to be have retained most of…
Listed last week at $1,350,000, 58 Irving Place must be the cheapest house that hasn’t been ruined by a flipper in Clinton Hill right now. Is it a bargain? Who knows in this market. It is a cute place that, while not fancy (nor on the best block), appears to be have retained most of its original character and to be in move-in condition. The two-family is configured currently as a double-duplex but can be delivered vacant, according to the listing. Think they’ll get their price?

I don’t particularly like the stoop; prefer something a bit grander….but, this is worth it…Too bad I just don’t have the dough right now, or else I would consider it….
I walk Irving all the time going to and from Outpost, and I think it’s a pretty nice street. It’s quiet with huge trees, and it only runs from Fulton to Gates, so there not a lot of through traffic. It could end up being very family friendly in the long run. If I had the $, I’d buy it.

Hey, but what about Park Slope?
5:58, are you kidding? Maybe some people just like walking down the street and digging the scene. Do they even have sidewalks in those places?
And yeah, TWC is part of it (JALC ain’t bad either, nor is Per Se). Maybe not everyone likes owning four cars.
Hey, just think what you could get in the Poconos!
This house is certainly overpriced, given where 25 St. James priced a month ago and the fact that the market is experiencing significant softness.
I bet if you asked enough questions, this house would drop in price by $200K before you started bargaining.
5:58 That’s what I am talking about — get the stats moving so brownstoner can pay the bills.
I look at this house and truly wonder why someone wouldn’t, at a certain point, just move to Montclair or Hastings. I know, I know, there’s no substitute for being near –what? –museums? The Time Warner Center? (What’s left of this city that we’re all so hot to be near it?) I guess; but at the end of the day, if I come home to this for a million and a half, boy, I’d start thinking about a four bedroom Tudor on a quarter acre in the ‘burbs.
Seems about right. It’s not “tiny” as one poster noted…it’s 3200 sq. feet of living space, minus walls etc., so figure around 2500 total. The apts. aren’t small, in any case. I’m guessing the details are pretty muddled, but they’re there and can be revived. So about $400 a square foot doesn’t seem unreasonable.
Certainly that part of CH is block-by-block, and I don’t know this one that well.
The kicker: the annual taxes are $1,300! That alone makes it a pretty good deal. I pay that monthly for a pre-war 1,300 square foot co-op…
