House of the Day: 18 St. Marks Place
If you’re not someone who puts much weight on a house’s historic details, this house at 18 St. Marks Place in Boerum Hill (?) might present an interesting opportunity to get a piece of the rock. The three-family brownstone is listed for just $1,259,000 and has two income-generating units in addition to the owner’s duplex….

It all sounded pretty factual to me 11217.
Maybe the last comment about spending $1.2 MM was editorial.
So much wrong with that comment, Goldie…I wouldn’t even know where to begin…
faithful, regarding the kids, they were about 8 black kids walking north about a block from the projects. odds would be they were more likely from there than elsewhere. just writing this brought flashbacks of other incidences of kids throwing bottles in front of passing cars (mine being one). sure there are worse neighborhoods, but dealing with this stuff a few times in just one year was enough.
in this market, a buyer with $1.2MM should not be dealing with this since that area wont change.
I think the block is fine, it is just buildings aren’t as grand. Short stoop, narrow, and if I recall long (does it mention outdoor space). The price seems very reasonable, I disagree with “i disagree” about the need for a price cut.
Thanks for the links DIBS….Chris Rock ain’t got nothing on Brianna.
Ok, I’m trying to get some work done so I can make tomorrow night’s soiree at a respectable hour and there goes THL tempting me like this with another beaut!
BRG, you can probably get a glass purse somewhere along Canal. They seem to have everything. But you sure you want every stranger passing by you knowing what you stash inside your handbag?
It’s just not a nice location, proximity to the subway or not.
There are definite issues with the safety and pleasantness of the streets. I wouldn’t worry if I were passing through randomly or visiting someone who (unfortunately for them) lived there, but I wouldn’t want to live there.
I think the days of people happily spending $1,000,000+ to live on sketchy blocks are over.
