House of the Day: 207 Washington Avenue
We’ve always wondered what this place at 207 Washington Avenue (and its twin next door) look like! Frankly, we were expecting something a little shabbier from the 1852 shingled cottage. Au contraire, someone’s done some pretty slick remodeling, injecting some modern energy into the place while keeping much of its original feel. Given its size…
We’ve always wondered what this place at 207 Washington Avenue (and its twin next door) look like! Frankly, we were expecting something a little shabbier from the 1852 shingled cottage. Au contraire, someone’s done some pretty slick remodeling, injecting some modern energy into the place while keeping much of its original feel. Given its size (PropertyShark puts it at 1,700 square feet the broker says it’s 3,000 square feet), the asking price of $2,300,000 feels expensive high but not impossible. After all, this is a pretty unusual place (and it has its own driveway).

No matter how “exquisitely renovated” this house is, I can’t see a shingled cottage, in this location, in this market, selling at 1,350 psf. This is not Manhattan, and it is not 2006.
Y-A-W-N Slow day Brownstoner?
Cheez Louise, that sure is pretty.
this house IS the servants quarters.
rcessed lighting is ok in the servants’ quarters only, like in this house.
I have been in this house (as currently configured) many times and it has been exquisitely renovated. Also, there is a full garage tucked into the back corner of the property which could, likely, be converted into an artists studio or other space. As it is, it can handle lots of storage.
Countdown to the first “I hate curb cuts” comment…
I caught this listing before it was corrected. The broker had initially written that it was the home of David Bowie.
Countdown to the first “recessed lighting” comment. 10, 9, 8…
