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.

well it’s sort of sad that houses like this go for the kind of money they do. it automatically makes a neighborhood very blah when it comes to personalities and fun-ness factor. can an interesting person or interesting family afford this place? sadly, no.

PS Mine is Uba Tuba granite.
“And what is better???”
Mud and straw.
shillstoner, just why is granite inappropriate??? And what is better??? Other than soapstone, with a farmer’s sink, a look that not a large % of the population is in love with, I don’t know what is more appropriate than granite.

I’m not a fan of granite myself, but I wonder what His Shrillness considers a suitably non-tacky kitchen counter material?
“YOU ARE THE SELF-PROCLAIMED BEACON OF TASTE AS WE ALL KNOW.”
Well someone has to try to stave off the granite-loving, ensuite-bathroom-needing, kitchen-island-coveting, double-sink-installing barbarians before you butcher every last brownstone and reduce all of Brownstone Brooklyn into one big tacky McMansion.
The Goldman bonuses and many others will be huge this year. Many people can afford this.
Thank you Snark.
If you’ll notice Minard also said on the COTD thread that “If this doesn’t sell for at least $800,000, we’re all in trouble in the boro.”
Weird comments from him/her today.
Kitchen was laways downstirs I would hope will all the coal spewing about, just couldn’t see why a dining room would also be there. I guess the owners were only down in the kitchen to partake in affairs of the heart, like upstairs/downstairs or gosford park.
