House of the Day: 17 1st Street
There’s a little more exposed brick than we’d like to see and the bathroom’s a little cheesy, but otherwise this smallish house at 17 1st Street in Gowanus (or Carroll Gardens, depending on who you ask) has a nice feel to it, especially for a house in this neighborhood that’s been in the same hands…
There’s a little more exposed brick than we’d like to see and the bathroom’s a little cheesy, but otherwise this smallish house at 17 1st Street in Gowanus (or Carroll Gardens, depending on who you ask) has a nice feel to it, especially for a house in this neighborhood that’s been in the same hands for a long time. (We like the exposed wood beams on the garden level, for example, and the upper floors have their fireplaces and moldings intact.) The asking price of $1,249,000 looks good at first glance, but remember that the house is 16 feet wide and less than 2,000 square feet in total. Thoughts?

chimichanga: pretty girl, delectibly luscious,
My house?
What makes you say that?
I live in the center of the Park Slopian Empire.
Yes sam, since you grought us here, what is a “chimichanga” in this context? It’s not even a real Mexican food.
Gowanus is on the other side of the sludge.
personally I like exposed brick!
i think it’s kinda rustic and when it’s on a wall or two – its fun!
I would like to see it go for a bit more as I’m currently a seller(until it’s time for me to buy again of course)
but I appreciate offering 999K for a place like this. Surely, The owners having the place the past 30 years would still make a huge profit from 999K
Its a 60s sort of thing ENY. For those of us who are sticklers for architectural detail, exposed brick is just horribly wrong.
There is nothing wrong with exposed brick, it is just one of Stoner’s little bete noirs.
sam,
Is this your house?

P.S. Chimichanga? A deep fried burrito?
What exactly, is wrong with exposed brick?
