House of the Day: 448 6th Street
We’re in love with the bayfront brownstone at 448 6th Street that just hit the market. It feels historically authentic but not precious, and it’s a little different from your standard-issue brownstone. The asking price is $2,825,000. Given the current meltdown and the fact that the house is only 17 feet wide, that’s going to…

Thursday should be interesting. Hope you’re going to do a follow up, Biff.
One of my fantasies is a center stair. The kitchen has it’s charms but it could be upgraded without loosing them.
I realize things are quite different than they were even a month ago, but as for comps, haven’t there been at least a couple houses go for 2 million (or a little over) quite a bit farther south…I want to say 12th street and another one down near there as well. From what I recall they were also much smaller.
I’d say this is priced to go a few hundred thousand less than asking. According to Property Shark, the owners have been here since 1976, so they stand to make a BUNDLE either way.
“Get in line guys!!!”
I think I prefer the back of the line in this case.
Get in line guys!!! LOL
Polemicist – I’m going by comps, which I think will be adjusted as a result of this crisis. Already, for this location, size and condition, this price would have been optimistic this summer. Now, it just seems absurd. Not saying it’s not a nice house with potential, but I personally wouldn’t touch it for much over $2mill, and that’s still a very big chunk of change in this climate.
I really did LOL at your 2.41 post Biff!
BRG, D’OH!
