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.

  1. a 14-foot wide house that is further reduced by making it a two-family? That to me is living poor. It is a teeny house to begin with and when you take away the garden level you’re left with a welfare apartment.
    It is just crazy. Even for a single person, this house does not work properly unless it functions as a single house. Why are we forced to be such peasants in NY?

  2. Even more problematic than the width is the fact that they’ve turned it into a 2-family. A house this size only really works as a 1-family. There’s just 1.5 baths for the owner’s triplex! Now, that’s a first-world kind of problem, but who pays $1.9 million for 1.5 baths. And worse than the kitchen clutter shot is the backyard dump shot. Definitely shouldn’t have included that one.
