House of the Day: 10 Schermerhorn Street
This two-family house at 10 Schermerhorn Street is a pretty serious pad: lots of original detail, a three-story, 20-foot deep extension and the option of a private parking space. The owners of the 5,000-square-foot house, however, don’t appear particularly motivated, judging from the fact that the asking price of $4,250,000 hasn’t budged since the house…

It’s all about the garage.
TownhouseLady – Yes, you’re right and focused.
Price feels a bit rich; albeit tough to find 25′ with this location in quality condition sub $3mm. Anyone know the total sq ft? Stated extension could be additive or dilutive to the footprint.

Particularly these days.
I respect the preservation of historical detail argument, but period furnishings and decor does not have a monopoly on taste and class. The other and more objective argument for contemporary/modern would be systems, energy efficiency, layout, ample bathrooms (in the correct location), etc.
Btw, there are people who can afford this price point on this blog…
Maly — I think Kevin Carberry has some house (that doesn’t look as nice in photos as this) on Remsen between Henry and Hicks for over $5M.

ha ha ha!
Make that a sudden dearth of chateaux owners towards the end of the 18th century.
there certainly are DIBS. Appears to have been a huge chateaux construction boom in the 17th century and they’re still trying to work off the inventory!
