House of the Day: 49 8th Avenue
Sweeeeeet! Check out this 25-foot-wide corner brownstone at 49 8th Avenue in Park Slope. While whoever can end up affording the $3,200,000 price tag will inevitably want to gussy it up a bit (even the listing says it’s “in need of repair and renovation,” we’re loving what we can see of the house in its…
Sweeeeeet! Check out this 25-foot-wide corner brownstone at 49 8th Avenue in Park Slope. While whoever can end up affording the $3,200,000 price tag will inevitably want to gussy it up a bit (even the listing says it’s “in need of repair and renovation,” we’re loving what we can see of the house in its current unfancified state. It’s got 42 windows and, on the parlor floor, a ballroom. Overall, there’s more than 6,500 square feet of space. Ah, to dream.
49 8th Avenue [Corcoran] GMAP P*Shark
so it’s a legal doctors office on the garden, and 2 family upstairs?
if it’s legal that’s an awesome layout…
“click on view full screen on cororan for the pictures which aren’t bad, though they need more, i want to see the kitchen and baths and yard”
I’d have to see it of course, but this does seem to be priced reasonably. Amazing location, beautifully proportioned and absolutely enormous. Could have an office at home AND a tenant to offset cost. I love it.
That’s a lot of house!
Layout seems odd and could use some reconfiguring.
“Lose yourself (or your kin)”
Is that all you have to do to lose some relatives? Buy a big house.
Pigeon,
Did you end up walking around the Slope this weekend? What did you think of the blocks Bob Marvin and I suggested to you…?
This is a beautiful mansion, and it doesn’t seem too overpriced.
But it would be very costly to renovate and expensive to maintain, too (is maintaining a mansard roof as expensive as it seems?).
The pool of buyers for this property is surely miniscule.
It seems too big for one family.
Perhaps it will be turned into co-opo units?
[Sigh] I miss having a ballroom. Work aside, I can far more easily see how this house is asking $3.2 than how the State Street house is asking $3.6.
I like painted woodwork.
Love this house. Would work great as a TIC with your best friend/brother/whatever. Two large family duplexes and an office to cover your bills. Need an elevator, but what’s a 100k btw friends. Side windows make all the difference to me.
That’s a lot of heavily painted woodwork for that price. Yeah, you can afford to strip it if you can afford the house – but it will never gleam like unpainted original detail.
Sad but true Butterfly, just look at The 14 Townhouses on State Street.
