House of the Day: 460 2nd Street
This two-family brownstone at 460 2nd Street is a looker, with lots of original woodwork prominently on display. The configuration—owner’s triplex over garden rental—is also likely to appeal to the broadest swath of potential buyers. At 18 feet wide, however, the house is a tad on the narrow side, at least for one asking $2,380,000….

Please tell me why a “typical” brownstone, like this one, in Park Slope is worth over $2 Mil???? School or no school. I saw this place and it is so so at best. Knock $500,000 off the price and you are getting close to it’s actual value.
I’m with you, Joe.
Nice house, good location…not enough pictures.
Kudos, let’s have soft-drug dealing dispensaries available for the people! (I’m serious)They would be qieter than bars! And better than a liquor store! I would take an ounce of sour diesel over a bottle of Grey Goose any day!
Mr Joist, I agree with everything you’ve said except the “less chance of drug dealers” part. Depends on the neighborhood on how its looked upon. For this house, a little pot here and there is “acceptable”, in other places… forget about it. 🙂
Not a fan of living to close to schools either.
Too far to walk to the liquor store.
Mr Joist
good points! – I never thought of it like that.
I saw the other house on this block, on market with Corcoran. The owner of that house bought it for just over $1mil a few short years ago and did not do that much work. They evidently put in a new kitchen, which is kind of pretty on the surface but not very practical IMHO since there is very little cabinet space. Also no closet on parlor floor. And yes, an entire bathroom needs to be built out. Plus tenant’s unit looks like it has not been touched in many years and is in need of work.
Some people see a school nearby as a liability, some see it as an asset.
I’m in the asset camp:
1) No nosy neighbors looking into your front windows
2) Ability to use school grounds at off-times (shoot hoops, play catch, etc.)
3) Cleaned and maintained by staff, protected (less of a chance of drug dealers, loud bars opening)
4) Loud at certain times (morning drop-off, lunch, end of schooldays) but super quite all summer
It’s really not an issue unless you work from home. And even then it’s only noisy a few times a day.
Agree, DeLepp.
Thanks for that. bk14. I’d love to walk through the two of them and really see the differences. I think I’m liking the kitchen layout of yous better. But, is that one bathroom not built out yet????
