House of the Day: 316 Cumberland Street
316 Cumberland Street has a huge parlor floor to die for, with intricate plaster ceilings and an extension that houses the modern kitchen. The house has also been upgraded recently with all new systems and windows as well. It’s being used as a one-family but the ground-floor can easily be converted to a rentable apartment….

The house has also been upgraded recently with all new systems and windows as well. It’s being used as a one-family but the ground-floor can easily be converted to a rentable apartment. All this sounds great but it will be interesting to see if it can pull off a price that’s similar to some of the nicer homes currently on the market in Park Slope. How do you think the price of $2,295,000 will fly?

loving the George Nakashima coffee table. This place looks too perfect not to be staged; or, the homeowners have impeccable taste, IMO.
“Now if only I had a couple of million bucks lying around….”
Or you can do what Miss Muffet does and reiterate day after day that every single person’s wealth in this country has been decimated by the recession, say that every property is priced 50% over what it should and try to convince yourself that you’re entitled to live in the most prime areas of Brownstone Brooklyn on the amount YOU have to spend, not what the market actually bears…
I keed, I keed.
Beautiful house! I love that master bedroom suite, with the bathtub in a room with space for an arm chair as well.
However, the layout does NOT work for anyone that would actually want to rent out that ground floor, since both the laundry room and the only access to the garden are on the ground floor. You’d need to build a deck from the kitchen to the garden, but since there already seems to be an extension, it’s not clear how feasible that is. And I’m not sure where you’d put a second laundry room, unless it could be in the room marked “mechanical” on the top floor.
For someone who wants to live in the entire house, however, perhaps using the downstairs as an in-law apartment, a place for college-age kids to crash when they’re home on vacation, a guest apartment or a home office … this place rocks!
Now if only I had a couple of million bucks lying around….
Doesn’t sound like the end of the world to me.
11217…that’s why the market is so strong today…WFC +24%, BAC +28%…
Why hasn’t The What been around to post this news…?

NEW YORK (AP) — Wells Fargo & Co. said Thursday it expects record first-quarter earnings of $3 billion, easily surpassing analysts’ estimates and providing an encouraging sign for the banking industry.
That’s a beautiful house in an awesome location … I agree that it’ll sell for close to ask (I put $2.1mm). I think this is the exact type of house that someone with lots of money falls in love with and pays all cash for.
I can’t comment on appraisal values because I am really not knowledgeable on that but that is one lovely house. (As I cut my wrists with a butterknife and weep because I can’t afford it).
great house, great location. if any house of recent vintage on here deserves to sell for 2 million its this one.
