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…

Party Poopers- this house sucks.
S/he should be called new2blog if s/he thinks people have ever stayed on-topic at any point in the four year history of Brownstoner!
Sorry Pierre…Guess I’m in a bad mood today.
I used to really enjoy this blog, and now it’s just a handful of people saying the same crap day after day. Strawberries, End of the World parties, whip cream, blah blah blah.
Where did all the posters go? Has traffic to the site sunk, or are many people just not registered and no longer commenting…?
It’s lost much if its luster with the same 5 people talking about the same stuff day after day…much of it having absolutely nothing to do with the postings, and oftentimes is stuff that you’d hear sitting around an old folks cafeteria.
I know I don’t always post on topic, but I miss the diversity of people who used to comment here. It seems to have basically become a message board.
BRG…he’s new 2 the hood. he gets one pass.
‘Maybe if you guys would stick to the subject at hand on these posts, it would still seem like a blog about brownstone brooklyn, rather than an annoyingly repetitive off-topic conversation b/t the same 4 people.
I’m just sayin’….’
Not one mention about the house (the topic)…..hhmmm?
Wow that is one fantastic looking house. The unique exterior alone is worth it being only 17 feet and we have no problems with lay out. That kitchen however is not meant for a house of this caliber.The counter space is really tiny and reminds me of tenement studios on the LES but this is a problem that can be easily remedied with a $40K country style restoration.
MM I know what you mean the super modern minimalist Poliform look will be out of place here.
Now the pricing is a la 2006 but on Decadron i.e. needs to be reduced by about $600K in our opinion but who knows.
PS: 11217 we’ve noticed you seem very angry and impolite in your comments what exactly is the matter?

I’m just sayin’….
As I’ve mentioned, I will not be attendance on Thursday…it’s our annual co-op meeting, and I would like to be there.
As for the rest, I look to brownstoner as a source of information on occasion, for the love of brownstones, and yes…for entertainment at times.
I do not look to brownstoner for friends or family, and while I don’t fault people for wanting to do the same, I think for me personally, this is a lot more fun with everyone being anonymous. Otherwise, why even have the blog after you’ve all met…it’s just a club at that point. Just get off the web and go talk about this stuff in person.
That doesn’t mean I don’t respect and enjoy most of the people on here, but I don’t get personally offended or hurt by things that are said here…nor should anyone with any self respect or esteem.
It’s still a blog, no matter what kind of relationship some of you choose to have outside the internets.
I think that in the current economic environment, we should learn to do without such excesses like strawberries and cream.
