House of the Day: 295 Pacific Street
There was a time when a house in a prime Boerum Hill location listed under $2 million would have been a blue-light special. These days, we suspect some of the nicest wide Greek Revival houses in the area could still fetch that price.

There was a time when a house in a prime Boerum Hill location listed under $2 million would have been a blue-light special. These days, we suspect some of the nicest wide Greek Revival houses in the area could still fetch that price. Unfortunately, 295 Pacific Street, while certainly an attractive house, doesn’t quite make it over that hurdle. Its biggest drawback is its 14-foot width, which means the four-story house only weighs in at 2,744 square feet. Otherwise, it has a very nice lived-in vibe and plenty of old-school charm. It’s just not a “wow” house. The house just came on the market ten days ago with a price tag of $1,899,000. It’ll be interesting to see how close to that it can fetch.

The townhouse on the corner of Pacific and Nevins just sold for $1.2mm after being offered $1.975mm since October 08. 2000 sq ft, and much more nicely renovated. 101 Nevins . $1.2mm, no more, for this place. Another problem is that the block of Pacific this townhouse sots on is pretty janky- a school, a few auto mechanic shops- not the beautiful tree lined blocks most of Boerum Hill are known for. Not so nice

just walked by this today–looks like the neighboring 14′-er is also for sale now. Fantasizing about a 28′-wide at the moment…
Oh I love brick too traditionalmod! I especially love old industrial structures where they made an art of bricklaying with different patterning. Brick has a warmth that you don’t find in brownstone or limestone (I love those for other reasons).
What are people talking about? I love bricks when it’s an older structure. Whether red brick or painted. Think Georgetown, Society Hill in Philly, older houses in Boston. Generally considered beautiful and significant houses by most people. And no, I don’t own a brick house and am merely being defensive. I have a limestone.
BOB MARVIN – Don’t know about you but my browstone dated 1850 has been through a few cement repatches on the facade – otherwise would be in dire state. I was talking about the cement mix that contractors use to resurface brownstone facade. Depending on the color and quality of the cement mix, this will granularity and color of your brownstone facade.
Clearly you don’t own a brownstone.
BRICKS ARE BORING !
1.89 mil for THAT!? Hahaha. I think even the most ardent fool in denial ie. Sebb would be hard pressed to cheerlead on this one…
