House of the Day: 295 Pacific Street Revisited

295 Pacific Street was on the market for a month last January, during which time it was featured as a House of the Day. Despite the Boerum Hill location, the 14-foot-wide house did not find a receptive audience for its $1,899,000 asking price and the listing was pulled. It just re-emerged this week with a new, more market-friendly price tag of $1,595,000. Think it’ll fly?

“Did someone use the word “guesstimation”? Horrors.”
No, not someone Nomi. I did. My name is right under the post just as it is on this one.
Oh, I was just having fun, TownhouseLady. I only have a mild distaste for that word. Except when Christopher Walken uses it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XtuPvwBa2U.
it’s cute. overpriced by a bit though, i think 1.3 would definitely do it. funny at the end of the listing, pets allowed. like really, you are allowed to have pets in a home that you own? chuh.

Brenda, agree. Though, I think there’s a middle ground. Somewhere.
Saw this house a few months ago…couple of things:
– its right across the street from a school playground
– commercial kitchen (owner runs a catering biz out of house)
– house is narrow and center stair eats up a lot of room
– house next door is a boarded up disaster
– no great entertaining space
It is a charming house, with interesting details and some nice character. I think 1.595 is still way high. I would say in the 1.3 ballpark.
I love the kitchen! Stainless steel minus cute tchotchkes = “city morgue.” Also love the staircase, like a dainty little pale-green cake with icing curls. But the dog clinches the deal. It seems like such a happy place. (I always think it’s dumb to strip every shred of individuality from a house staging; are people so devoid of imagination that they can only project their lives onto a sterile hotel interior?)
I do not “hate” it, but I did notice too the dark areas, so to speak. Problem when brownstones get to deep.
thove???? love
I’m also not in thove with the front stoop with those massive cement sides.
