House of the Day: 213 Berkeley Place
This four-story brownstone at 213 Berkeley Place in Park Slope is a beauty, no doubt about it. The period vibe on the parlor floor also works nicely, we think, and doesn’t come off as too over-the-top. The backyard is simple but attractive.

This four-story brownstone at 213 Berkeley Place in Park Slope is a beauty, no doubt about it. The period vibe on the parlor floor also works nicely, we think, and doesn’t come off as too over-the-top. The backyard is simple but attractive. There’s also a garden-level rental to take the edge off the mortgage you will likely need given the asking price of $2,475,000. We’ll be surprised if they get full price in this market, but suspect that within 10 percent of it is not out of the question. You?

It’s a stunner, and looks exactly like the Eastlake featured in “Bricks and Brownstones” except with different paint.
You could do a lot with the paint.
Y’all are complaining about the tiny kitchen, but this layout has the advantage of having all the entertaining rooms on one floor.
I wonder, though: Is the tenant’s bathroom really accessed from the hall? That is incredibly inconvenient. But you could add a door.
I say 2.2

OMG….LOL!!!
That is brilliant, Rob.
House not so brilliant.
Why didn’t they put the kitchen where the bedroom is on the garden level? And make the kitchen the living room and the living room the bedroom?

I’m curious how many times I’ve probably walked by 11217 or lechacal at the asian grocery or ace without knowing it was them. 😛

Ha!
And I’m the one buying ginger ale at Ace, Jameson at 7th Ave wine and liquors and spinach at the Korean Grocer.
cwb: Well I’m easy to spot. Bald guy in a suit buying tonic water at Ace, limes at the asian grocer and gin at 7th Ave wines and liquors.
I thought the same thing the other night when I was at Ace CW. I’m in there or the Korean Grocer a couple hundred times a week, it seems like.
Beautiful place, awesome location … I don’t think they’re going to have to hold a fire sale on this one. I think Sam’s about right at 1.9mm, but could even see it going for like 2.2.

Agree with M. Jackal, should be a good test. If it doesn’t get at least $2 million, I’m going to have to take yet another write-down on my place.
