When 448 6th Street hit the market with Brown Harris Stevens last October we drooled over its interiors and unusual facade but wondered whether the asking price of $2,825,000. It turns out it was. By quite a bit. Corcoran took over the gig in April and relaunched the listing with a price tag of $2,299,000; since then there have been a couple of small price cuts, including one yesterday, that have brought the price down to $2,149,000. We have to think that this is getting close to a market-clearing price. The only snag we can think of, besides the small matter of the global financial meltdown, is that the brownstone is only 17 feet wide.

  1. You probably need more sleep than I do brickoven with a slower metabolism and such.

    Besides, I’m not the trader, I’m the PM. I do whatever I want on my schedule. It’s not rocket science.

  2. stuymom, look at the photo of the floors… you can see the parquet and the edging. Doesn’t follow the new layout. I had the same problem in my reno, fortunately the parquet was crap so we just took it all out and now the floors do follow the walls.

  3. mopar, are you sure they removed walls? I’ve only taken a cursory glance at the floor plans but since this is a center stair brownstone I wouldn’t expect the typical original layout…

  4. MM…most of my work is with Asian stock markets….when they are open in the evening and then early in the morning. That said, we make a lot of decisions during the day here at the mutant hedge fund. There’s so much info to process that we make decisions quickly and then have a fair amount of “down time.”

  5. Nomi, I do! 🙂 I like all kinds of houses, even 1950s ranch houses, if they have appropriate finishes and spatial integrity. I don’t care if the furniture matches the house though.
