This charming four-story brick house at 418 11th Street in Park Slope has a charming, idiosncratic exterior. (What style would you characterize this as?) As for the interior, well, we couldn’t say, as the broker has not provided any photos. The house is configured as an owner’s duplex topped by two floor-through rentals, each currently generating $2,300 a month in income. The asking price? $1,995,000, which is potentially a reasonable price, though it all depends on what kind of shape the interior is in. How can a broker or seller rationalize not including interior photos in this day and age?

Hope springs eternal?
Responding to the first poster re: browntone floor thru v. new condo. I like old brownstone floors, and have rented a few and owned one, but before you even get into the amenities like doormen, gyms, central AC, fancy appliances, etc., which I gladly give up for charm and well laid out apartments in well-located old brownstones, there’s this to remember: every one of my old brownstones (and they were all prime apartments in great P.S. locations) had (1) lead water main (meaning you know there’s lead in your water); (2) insufficient electricity (meaning the lights dimmed if you ironed clothes, dried your hair with a hair dryer, etc.); (3) insufficient heat in the rear, due to either old windows, poorly insulated new ones, and/or old radiators that worked poorly, especially the top floor rear ones, so it is really cold on winter nights (even when you own and CAN turn up the furnace); (4) had mice, usually, (5) were impossible to completely cool at once, even with multiple window air conditioners, due to the long, narrow layout, and (6) realy thin floors (noise from above if not on top floor, and sometimes from below).
Now that I finally don’t have (most of) those problems, not in a new condo, but an old elevator building converted to condos, it would be hard to go back to your basic semi-renovated brownstone. And yes, I’ve also gotten used to an elevator (no more lugging groceries), central AC, and actually being able to have packages delivered (such luxury that feels like!)
saw this a year ago, as well. just not worth the price. railroad layouts inside, no real way to configure it sensibly, looked like the building had been poorly cared for, no features of note remaining. just not sure what you would use this as. it has been on with several agents as well as fsbo, it didn’t sell for $1.95 last year so I have no idea why someone would buy it for $2.2 this year??
1920?
ha ha ha!
This style of building was completely OUT in the 1920’s.
This is an 1880’s Victorian Gothik/Romanesque revival townhouse.
1920? property shark is not the bible
This is in South Slope and South Slope is far from one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Brooklyn. It has some nice blocks and many not so nice blocks. The best thing it has going for it is that it is next to Park Slope.
that is one cheap looking interior.

City records for construction year data pre-1929 are notoriously unreliable. They keep almost no data for buildings built prior to 1900. 1899 and 1920 are typically the entries I’ve seen for buildings where they don’t have a precise date.
yup…aguayo had it for something like 2.2, maybe even more, and that’s easily a year ago. the interior has in fact been renovated, but pardon me while I cough up a hair ball….aaaggghhh…. it’s a cheapo job that is a mess. the rentals are not at all renovated. soooo….add ±600k to put this into the condition of some other houses recently listed nearby at comparable prices. excuse me, another hair ball…..ggaaagghhh
