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…

Miss Muff: The price is still far below the reproduction cost – i.e. buying one is still much cheaper than building it new.
Did I just say I’ve got DIBS on the poker? That should qualify me for the Daily Poor Choice of Words Award.
location = outstanding
exterior = unique for the area
interior = very well maintained
ok maybe its a little overpriced given the lack of width, but I could certainly see this selling for close to 2.6 even in this state of economic disaster.
11217, I believe Nokilissa meant to say, “Have we had this little biff before?”
I love you both dearly. Can’t we all just get along? If not, I’ve got dibs on the poker for the faux fireplace.
I agree with 11217, I think this house is in “move-in” condition. It is good enough shape to move in and live there a while and then assess how you want to approach changes and upgrades. As I wrote earlier, I would like french doors looking out on to a terrace, but maybe once I lived there I would think of something else. I really love this house more than most others I have seen here. I assume that most days the family would dine in the garden level. A “formal” dining room upstairs could be great for fancy occassions. A dumb waiter could be installed easily for the dishes. This arrangement will far outlive the current “kitchen in the living room” vogue, which I think it often an excuse for developers to cheat one out of the extra room and square footage of a real kitchen in new buildings.
PS: Nokilissa, there is nothing wrong with being picky especially if you still have cash these days.
For 3m I want them to include their furniture. Some of those pieces (the tables and dresser) are just gorgeous!
Dibs on the cast iron skillet.
I think we should all grab a pot or pan off the wall and start fighting with each other about who is right.
…farmhouse sink, copper hood over the range…
Man would I love to reno. this kitchen.
