House of the Day: 433 Pacific Street
This four-story house at 433 Pacific Street in Boerum Hill has one of those envy-inducing parlor floors that can be found in this part of town; the backyard is quite charming as well. The upper duplex (the rental) has three bedrooms and two baths. (What’s the market rent for this space, do you think?) Anyway,…

This four-story house at 433 Pacific Street in Boerum Hill has one of those envy-inducing parlor floors that can be found in this part of town; the backyard is quite charming as well. The upper duplex (the rental) has three bedrooms and two baths. (What’s the market rent for this space, do you think?) Anyway, very nice house but the asking price of $2,495,000 seems pretty high for this market. What do you think?

If it’s truly 3600 sf, I think it’ll get close to 2 Mill.
Pretty! I love the plank floors and the bookshelves in the kitchen. It seems a bit enthusiastically priced. Even if we were at the peak of the market, this would be a stretch. Very lovely though.
There is actually a better house, in my humble opinion, for sale on Bergen Street. Here is the link http://www.prudentialelliman.com/Listings.aspx?ListingID=1103825&SearchType=broker_current&BID=
I saw it and it is pretty awesome. The yard was one of the nicest I have ever seen. Here, again, the kitchen is on the small, not enough storage size, but overall the house is beautiful. It is listed at 2,375,000. I think it will go for $2,100,000. They are getting a good number for the rental.
Great houses on that street as well as State St north of Atlantic but that area is just weird. Hoyt/Schermerhorn is also a crappy subway station. Just never feels safe there. Plus you have that big halfway house on Nevins with all types of undesireables walking around.
That said 1.8-1.9 will get it done. 2.5 is crazy talk.
While I agree it’s overpriced, I’d still much rather buy this than the co-op of the day.
It’s in a pretty solid area. Quick walk to BAM, quick walk to the nice part of fulton street behind BAM, tons of transportation. Being only a block off Atlantic is a bit of a bitch, but I bet the brownstones behind you cut a lot of the noise.
I really like this house and the plank floors. And location is pretty sweet actually. 1.8 should get this sold one would think.
Outside looks nice but why is it a shy bit shorter than the house next to it. I was not awed by the interior either. However based on location (Boerum Hill), condition, and not to be overlooked extra width I think this could be worth a full 2 million. Maybe more if there are extras like the bathrooms are beautiful and the basement is nice and high and could be turned into usable space.
ontheparkway: (re: “Nice enough place, but I’m not feeling the parlor floor envy either.
Pretty sure the floor nazis are going to be up in arms about the plank floors, too.
No parquet–no $2.5M, right?”)
Personal taste notwithstanding, those floors are the reason that parlor looks stunning. Here’s why: parquet is common and easily gotten (I had to do it on one floor of my house, because there had been some of it existing already; not cheap but not nearly as pricey as wide plank flooring). But those original planks: PRICELESS. You can try to find salvaged planks like that, but you will NEVER get that original look. They make the space, in my opinion. Drop dead gorgeous.
Damn!
$3075 for the rental if I can control the heat.
