This house at 291 8th Street in Park Slope is a bit unusual in that it as a legal commercial space in the ground floor. We like the looks of the ground-floor space, which is fully built out on the lot and has a bunch of nice skylights installed. The renovation on the rest of the house, while thorough, isn’t really floating our boat. In particular, all the light colored wood trim looks out of place to us. But that’s easily fixable as is, we imagine, the asking price of $2,100,000, which seems quite high unless the rent on that commercial space is potentially much higher than we would imagine. Thoughts?

This has been on the market for at least a year and started at 2.8M
This is the ugliest house I’ve ever seen on Brownstoner.
This place has been on market a long time. That big bldg next door, plus drab renovation and no garden, make this very unattractive to me. The price seems very high.
hahahaha
is this a joke?
2.1 million????
the interior is a complete yawnfest
“…easily fixable as is, we imagine, the asking price…”
LMAO. Ground floor cellar?! Commercial is slowly crashing with comps. This is a ridiculous price (even relatively) if only two stories above boiler room.

I just checked out the street view on Google Maps. Yep, that’s the place. There is a slope from the sidewalk level to the entrance of the commercial space, and apparently no drain.
Sand bags? Really?
That’s not a good sign at all.
Is that the Pilates Garage? I used to see them stacking sandbags out front whenever it rained.

Interesting floor plan. I realize that the ground level is commercial but the living quarters are still odd to me.
Lovely exterior but odd layout. Just my two cents!
