House of the Day: 638 2nd Street
There aren’t a lot of new listings hitting the market right now, but one worthing taking note of is 638 2nd Street in Park Slope.

There aren’t a lot of new listings hitting the market right now, but one worthing taking note of is 638 2nd Street in Park Slope. The two-family brownstone appears to have been recently renovated (or at least the kitchens have been). The 4,400-square-foot house is asking $2,800,000. Given that it’s on a park block, do you think that’s achievable?

Dec. 23 (Bloomberg) — Single-family home sales in California rose 83 percent in November and the median price fell below $300,000 for the first time since 2002 as buyers purchased discounted properties in foreclosure, the California Association of Realtors said.
The number of existing single-family detached homes sold in the most populous U.S. state last month increased to 514,710 on an annualized basis, from 280,920 a year earlier, the Los Angeles- based association said today in a statement. The median home price dropped 42 percent to $285,680 from $490,511 a year earlier.
That’s what usually happens in a cycle!!!!!
Best location in Park Slope.
Lousy photos, and the renovations look like late 80s-early 90s. I don’t mind the 18′ interior width all that much; I know pocket doors are sacred but I think I’d open up the living area to the foyer.
The garden floor apartment looks like you could get at least 3.5k, possibly more in rent. So while that may not go very far to making your monthly mortgage payment, it’s a nice income stream that will pay your property taxes and a good chunk of the utilities.
Think they would have asked around 3.2 mil a year ago, so there’s already a 10% trim. I’d guess this goes for 2.6 if not close to ask; the kitchen might turn off some people and something tells me the addition isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing.
I hope it gets something close.
i love the ceiling – hate the kitchen. don’t know about the prices over there but overall it’s a beautiful building.
Oh yes, BRG, the bathroom needs his and her siphon jets and, if I remember correctly, a firepit for the pig roasting. At the very least.
Yes PHFamily…that ceiling deserves better.
Oh okay. You got it BRG 😉
It has to have terrific bubble party prospects.
I do like this one, and think it has tremendous potential, but we’re really looking for north slope or “prime” Ft Greene. Close to the Q.
I’ll have to go see this one actually. It really does have the kind of floor plan we’re always looking for, with the exception of its width. But it has more length.
(Did this just go x-rated?)
This house looks so uninspiring. And that looks like drywall covering up the beautiful ceiling in the room converted to a kitchen. Photos are horrible, too.
that kitchen…..why, oh why?!?!?!
It hurts looking at it.
Noki….Yes, there’s a powder room on the parlor floor, behind the kitchen. I would’ve prefered it before the kitchen next to the dining room, so quests don’t go past a potentially messy kitchen.
Noki, if this is in your price range, please get it, so I can re-do that very poorly laid out master bath on the third floor.
Heck, the entire third floor needs re-working.
