House of the Day: 414 Vanderbilt Avenue
This one’s gonna be a tough sell. This four-story brownstone at 414 Vanderbilt Avenue is unfortunately an example of the seller (and recent renovator) being out of touch with the market. Not on price (though that’s clearly too high) but in terms of aesthetics. Let’s face it, most people looking to drop $2,490,000 on a…
This one’s gonna be a tough sell. This four-story brownstone at 414 Vanderbilt Avenue is unfortunately an example of the seller (and recent renovator) being out of touch with the market. Not on price (though that’s clearly too high) but in terms of aesthetics. Let’s face it, most people looking to drop $2,490,000 on a house in Fort Greene want some historic charm, or if they want modern, they want something truly modern (in a modernist sense). They don’t want a McMansion chic. And that, unfortunately, is what this place is. We foresee some big price reductions on this one.

It’s truly refreshing in these days to hear about some nice lady like THL who….aww, you guys beat me to it.
Looks like they dropped all the ceilings.
We’re the hotter men crowd. The nicer ones are on another thread today. 😉
Wasn’t it just yesterday that somoene was saying the peopl in brooklyn were nicer??? They didn’t meet this crowd. Maybe the inside had to be gutted. Not my style but not that hard to remedy for the most part. Of course it sould be south of $2MM for consideration….
A steady rhythm is the sauce.
Variety is the spice of life though SnarkSlope.
In a just world, QOTD would have gone to THL.
I stand with you in solidarity.
Townhouse lady, what you say is very true, we have all commited decor-atrocities. And our lives have been richer for it. But I have noticed, in my long and colorful career, that weird sells. It really does.
When you sell your house, you may have to throw in the French cock, the buyers may make it a condition of sale. I have had similar weird requests when selling my various houses and condos. One couple insisted I leave a Victorian chest in the living room. It cost me like $150 on Atlantic Avnue.
So chest or cock, its all in the eye of the beholder.
Yes THL…I have a tacky bunch of ceramic avocados on a rope hanging in my kitchen. I bought them in Curnavaca when I was there last Fall with my friend. I’ve had snarky comments about them as well.
Every good woman should stand by her cock. I applaud you.
