House of the Day: 505 1st Street
What’s going on over on 1st Street? There are a TON of houses for sale on this stretch of Park Slope. On October 27, we wrote up 567 1st Street; on November 14, we tapped 356 1st Street as an Open House Pick; the just last week, we featured 566 1st Street as a House…

On October 27, we wrote up 567 1st Street; on November 14, we tapped 356 1st Street as an Open House Pick; the just last week, we featured 566 1st Street as a House of the Day. Now Stribling has dropped another one on us: 505 1st Street. The four-story brownstone has lots of old-school detail, a renovated kitchen and extension to boot. Looks very nice. The price of $3,250,000, however, feels a little leftover from the boom times. Think they can get it?

Nothing says class like a wood-paneled dishwasher!
Nobody on this blog likes anyone else’s kitchen. That’s one of our little things.
DIBS, I haven’t spent enough time in Chicago to be familiar with that bar. The tag is a wry reference to the footage between my back door and the property line.
I think the kitchen is, if not hideous, pretty ugly. I agree with the 80s-look comment. Just because they spent a lot of money recently to make it look ugly doesn’t change that.
Back40…did you ever spend time in Chicago? There was a bar there with a “back40”
Amzi Hill any street suggestions for interesting brick front houses in Clinton Hill or Fort Greene. We prefer brownstones but we really like interesting brick homes as well (a la Woodford house in PS).
Noklissa please disregard our question just noticed your other response…too much multi-tasking today:)
Amzi Hill – Cool, thanks. “Explore Bed Stuy” is on my list of things to do on a warm-ish day. I don’t know the neighborhood. Clinton Hill has many beautiful houses in all types, so no surprise that they’ve got some nice brick ones. 🙂
Noklissa can you please explain your queries with this kitchen. We happen to think it is very attractive but restrained at the same time. Also your thoughts on the interior needing a face lift based on the pictures will be appreciated. The details are all intact and we will probably only ditch that wall paper:) We really love this place and that facade is simply beautiful.
The price unfortunately is outrageous but the location is great (especially with Pitbull Rob as a neighbor)so this will sell…. at a significant discount though.
BrooklynGreene to answer your question yes that is crazy.
cwbuecheler I think you will find bay front brick townhouses in South Park Slope but you have many brick bay front Queen Anne houses in Bedford Stuyvesant… But more in the Bedford Section on streets like Hancock, Jefferson and Putnam near Marcy Ave. Also I think you might see a few in Clinton Hill.
