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…

Anyone see those sushi places where you have the naked girl lying on the table with the sushi all over her and the hipsters all sitting around picking the pieces of sushi off her acting as though they’re so bored with it all?
That’s how I’m imagining Biff and Dave with the strawberries!
Nice house, but before I’d call it move-in, I’d wonder about the mechanicals. Heat, central air, roof? The lack of mention about these leaves me wondering…
Dave, thanks for the kind words. By the way, where’s wasder? He said he was going to bring the name tags (just like sam promised to bring the whipped cream with little strawberries for strategic placement).
I am certain I had a better kitchen than that in college living in a house that was one step above squalor. At least there is space to work with. But $2.8, 6th Street, AND you need to put in a whole new kitchen. No thanks.
Nokilissa,
If an anonymous poster on a real estate blog has personally hurt you, then I apologize. Lord.
Btw, shouldn’t you be taking care of your two (soon to be 3) kids, having crazy sex with your completely trust worthy husband and finding that ever so perfect and precious house that is up to your standards for 3 million dollars, anyway?
Oh wait, I was apologizing…that’s right.
BRG…we’re all doomed Asshats!!! Will someone have asshats at the party that we can all wear????
i found it. i googled it. God I’m clever today!!!!
‘Did I just say I’ve got DIBS on the poker.’
‘Biff…or the Most Appropriate Choice of Words Award.’
‘I’ve met Biff and although he’s a great guy and handsome, he’s not my type. And, he’s not gay.’
Biff…so sorry, I assumed incorrectly.
Now, I feel like the world’s biggest Asshat.
It might be priced as such, Ms. Muffet, but I think most sane sellers are hoping to still price high (since a lot of people who don’t work on Wall Street may not actually be feeling “the pinch” quite yet, but just reading and hearing about it on tv) but they know that buyers are going to lowball. And just as these owners bought for a song in 1976, there might be people thinking that they are going to raise their family here for the next 30 years, and people will be saying the same of them when they look to sell in 2040.
Sure they could price it lower to begin with, but everyone has different strategies on how to sell a home. I don’t necessarily know which is best, but I’m pretty sure these owners know they probably aren’t getting 2.8
