House of the Day: 591 2nd Street
We’re in love! This limestone house at 591 2nd Street in Park Slope appears to be perfect in just about every way. It has full-on original charm but has also been updated tastefully and thoroughly. For once, we even like the new kitchen! It’ll be pretty interesting to see whether such a perfectly appointed pad…
We’re in love! This limestone house at 591 2nd Street in Park Slope appears to be perfect in just about every way. It has full-on original charm but has also been updated tastefully and thoroughly. For once, we even like the new kitchen! It’ll be pretty interesting to see whether such a perfectly appointed pad can crack the $3 million mark. (In this case, the asking price is actually $3,200,000.) We’ll be surprised, but we don’t think it’ll miss by much.

Yes, DIBS, wood floors in one of the bathrooms. Limestone in the other. But no marble, thanks.
House Hunters, especially International. Unlike you, I watch to laugh at the people (being an arrogant a-hole and all), not for tips on kitchen island placement and window treatments.
“Not all young people need “something to do,” whatever the hell that means.”
Most like to eat out at restaurants, of which BH has few.
How about bars? Most young people I know like to drink, which is why there are more young people in Ft. Greene, Prospect Heights, Carroll Gardens and Park Slope…
I don’t understand the issue here. Brooklyn Heights is great, but it’s not a place where young people flock. Is it not possible anymore to state true statements on Brownstoner without people jumping down your throat for denigrating their neighborhood. No one here say younger = better. It’s just a more established, more expensive and generally older neighborhood…housing stock and people.

Well regarding the house—I went to see this house yesterday and it is a gem. However, not without its faults. At $3.2 you expect perfection, this comes close but still has a ways to go. The pictures on the website do not do it justice. The dining room is beautiful with plenty of quarter sawn oak and a fireplace, but it is hardly shown. The African granite, not so hot. The three wood burning fireplaces – nice. Not a big fan of painting the woodwork white- thank God for paint remover. The center stair is stunning and the view from the second floor down the stairs is something I wouldn’t mind taking in every morning. The deck off of the second floor is a very nice touch, as is the bathroom on the landing. The baths were all nicely done, the kitchen was OK, not a stunner. Overall a very nice package, but that price tag is scary. I guess I”ll never be able to afford one.

Or a short stumble HOME from Smith Street, dh. BTW, after stumbling home, I STILL had to walk the CGar-dog!
