House of the Day: 146 6th Avenue
Here’s a big ole brownstone on the nicest stretch of 6th Avenue that just hit the market—for the first time since 1979! The five-story house at 146 6th Avenue in Park Slope has 4,700 square feet of space according to the listing (Property Shark says 5,100) but “needs tlc.” The only photo provided, of an…
Here’s a big ole brownstone on the nicest stretch of 6th Avenue that just hit the market—for the first time since 1979! The five-story house at 146 6th Avenue in Park Slope has 4,700 square feet of space according to the listing (Property Shark says 5,100) but “needs tlc.” The only photo provided, of an antique marble sink, suggests that it needs a lot of tlc, as does the fact that it hasn’t changed owners in almost three decades. Still, could be a killer pad. How do you think the asking price of $2,750,000 will fly?

It is a great house, but it is not really in the best part of the neighborhood, and there seem to be major repair issues. Nonetheless, the real deal breaker would be old tenants that can’t be budged. That is like buying into a lawsuit.
side windows – the best type of brownstone
You can be sure this house is trashed, so indeed it’s a different cup of fur. As for comment about PS vs. PH and comparing that to East Harlem vs. Upper East Side, I think many would beg to differ – the different between certain nice blocks of PH and north slope is just not *that* great to merit doubling the price of a listing. Sure, PS is probably more desirable, but not 1.4 million more desirable. Really, this is a house only a developer could love (or an individual with extremely deep pockets, and that kind of person would be smarter dealing with something that is not such a money pit/nightmare) – and even a developer would be wise to negotiate very hard given market uncertainty.
NY Times link isn’t working.
Corner house is great for light, bad for noise.
$550 per square foot for prime PS doesn’t seem bad at all. But, of course, if it’s trashed and comes with rent-control tenants or something, that would be a different cup of fur.
Also, I think all posts on Brownstoner should be accompanied by a photo of a scantily clad contortionist, which this one lacks.
I think this home is in a FAR better location that the one on Park Place.
That’s like asking why there is a price difference from 95th and Park Avenue and 102nd and Lexington.
One is Upper East Side, one is East Harlem.
You’ve heard of location, location, location…no?
Corcoran has a listing for a house of this ilk on Park Place on a nice block in Prospect Heights, for 1.4 million, and even that seems high given all the work. Granted, this bldg is a slightly better location (but not *that* much better, since it’s the same school zone as the PH Corcoran listing, and the 2 homes are probably about same distance from park/subway) – but come on, how is this worth twice the cost of that other house? The owners are delusional.
I can’t get that link to the listing to work…
Literally steps to Bergen Street 2/3 Train and Q train at 7th Avenue…
In my opinion, this the best of all Park Slope worlds. Near the train, near the park, near 5th Avenue, near it all.
