House of the Day: 296 Degraw Street
One thing’s for sure: This one-family house at 296 Degraw Street would not have been listed for under $2 million a few months ago. The charming four-story brick building has lots of original charm as well as renovated bathrooms and kitchen. To top it off, it has its own garage, something that really matters in…

One thing’s for sure: This one-family house at 296 Degraw Street would not have been listed for under $2 million a few months ago. The charming four-story brick building has lots of original charm as well as renovated bathrooms and kitchen. To top it off, it has its own garage, something that really matters in this part of town. The current owners paid $1,595,000 for the house in 2006 so, assuming they were the ones who did the recent renovations, they’re unlikely to make a whole lot of dough given the current asking price of $1,900,000. That said, we bet they will get pretty close to the asking price, even in this environment.

I live on this block. House is cute. VERY small. Those wide angle pics the rooms look bigger than they are, I think. And yes, there is a legal curb cut there, always has been. Sometimes the owners don’t feel like pulling in (it is a tight fit) and just use their always-open curb cut spot to park in….
I’ve been in this house. It is cute as a button but it is tiny, a doll house. The new owners did the renovation. It is 1/2 a brownstone. The kitchen, dining area and living room are all in what typically would be the living room.
Wide but short, with windows on the staircase, could mean it’s really old. Except this area didn’t get built up until the 1850s. Definitely means it’s full of sunlight.
That’s a boxy little house. GMAP streetview shows a car parked in front of the carport. Can you look up somewhere if it has a legal curb cut? I didn’t see anything that would show one way or the other on the dob property profile.

I love the floors!
I think this is a gated drive with the deck at the back end. [If my snooping is correct!]
I have a parlour level deck and a large yard. The yard is nice to look at but I rarely go down there except to weed and pick tomatos.
I think this deck did not have a staircase down to the car which is too bad.
Nice location, across the street from the historic district but not in the historic distrcit. Even though there is no backyard there is outdoor space. one could build a nice deck/garden on top of the garage and on top of the house itself. It is a charming little house. Nothing wrong with it, except perhaps the price, which is too high by several hundred thousand dollars.
couldnt you put a roofdeck on this thing.
