House of the Day: 180 Washington Park
If you’re a Wall Street Journal reader, you may already be familiar with this new listing at 180 Washington Park in Fort Greene—the 22-foot brownstone was featured when it hit the market earlier this month with a price tag of $2,750,000, most likely because it was owned by Spike Lee back in the 1990s.

If you’re a Wall Street Journal reader, you may already be familiar with this new listing at 180 Washington Park in Fort Greene—the 22-foot brownstone was featured when it hit the market earlier this month with a price tag of $2,750,000, most likely because it was owned by Spike Lee back in the 1990s. We’re certainly digging the location, size and type of the house. There’s also tons of original detail that is right up our alley. The renovation, though, feels too over-the-top to us. Call us old-fashioned, but the glitziness and polish of the whole thing feels a little out of place for Fort Greene. And that yard? What were they thinking? We suspect the sellers would have been better served by a more understated approach, especially when it comes to reselling in these non-boom times.

DeLepp, come afterwards. We’ll still be around. You’re a blast!
Too bad Snarky can’t make it.
Snark, maybe you’ll take your Zurich friend and expose her to uber hipsterville?
Send the bf, DeLepp!!!!!! 🙂
Sorry to hear that, DeLepp. We’ll likely do another one next week.
The Foundations are great!
biff, unfortunatly no as I’ve got tickets for emerson string quartet at LC. Not happy especially after all I missed at the last one. Though it may have been good for your hearing as I can only remember the lines to “build me up butter cup”. Have a blast!
DeLepp, sorry to get off topic again, but are you joining us tonight? You’re very fun to hang out with.
dibs, don’t blame you I usually walk and that clears the mind of cob webs and hangovers.
Sorry DeLepp….a bus ride to a subway station is not my idea of convenient. I don’t do buses, period.
dibs, the house is about a 10 minute leisurely walk (or a quick bus ride)to dekalb station where the B and Q are, I’m farther out on Clinton and I can leave the house at 7:30 and be at 57th street by 8:15.
dibs, shill probably lives in post war apt with one exposure and was delirious with the heat and thought he was a pioneer in brownstone living.
