Run down but not lacking in charm and potential, 442 State Street was on the market last fall with Halstead for $1,200,000 before getting yanked in early February. It has now resurfaced with Brooklyn Heights Real Estate with a significantly lower price tag of $999,000. The place is pretty beat up and isn’t on the ritziest street in Boerum Hill, but we could see it coming to life in the right hands. You gotta figure it’ll take several hundred grand to get things back in order. What’s the magic price that gets this place to sell?

chicken, or anyone, can you tell me what the purpose is of putting tin foil over the baseboard like this? insulation i can understand. bare tin foil, i’m at a loss.
“START FROM SCRATCH!”
That’s a lot of scratch to start from scratch.
BOD, your idea makes sense, but I think Gemini is closer to it. Except that I think that tape is of the masking variety.
Has anyone seen this li’l charmer? Know its sad, derelict history?
$1M for what looks like a crack den!?!?!?!
Good try, HOBOKEN. 🙂
hmmmm I told you I would be able to get a bh townhouse for less than one million…
uhhhh sorr gemini, it is not tin foil. it is foil wrapped fiberglass insulation that someone shoved between the wall and the baseboard.
