House of the Day: 443 11th Street
This house at 443 11th Street in Park Slope may or may not be worth $1,375,000, but the lack of interior photos sure doesn’t work in its favor.

This house at 443 11th Street in Park Slope may or may not be worth $1,375,000, but the lack of interior photos sure doesn’t work in its favor. The three-story, three-family place clearly doesn’t have interiors to brag about (it “needs renovation”) but it would be nice to know whether there’s any molding left or whether the bathrooms are tolerable. Without any of that info and therefore assuming the worst, we’re left feeling pretty skeptical about that asking price. How about you?

I too saw this place in October. My notes at the time: “GUT. Terrible.” $632/sqft at the time…
ugh! I’m not even going to bother opening the listing to read it.
If what all are saying above is true that it being a wreck. Price it under a million. Heck, 850-900K! After all, someone’s going to probably spend close to 600K+ on the gut reno. and a year of their life going thru the trouble.
Such a house points me to the question how much a shell should actually cost on a per sqft basis. Assume all four walls are intact and no exterior work is necessary. Assume roof is fine as well and the beams don’t need to be touched as well, but everything else needs to be replaced like windows, all systems, floor, stairs, walls, kitchen bathroom and so on. What would be the current market price?
Too bad. Maybe perfect for someone who wants to go totally modern in the Slope — if they’d lower the price.
I meant “uninhabitable,” not “inhabitable.”
Arkady,
Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear.
I didn’t say there’s no garden.
I said there’s no garden level.
What I mean is: the bottom level is just an inhabitable basement with a very low ceiling. The parlor floor is above that. So, when you enter the home, you go up the small stoop into the parlor level. The level below the parlor level has the mechanicals in it and is inhabitable unless you are very very short!
Next.
There is a standard-sized garden, Pigeon, so you must be recalling a different place.
Yes, MM.
I believe I, too, saw this place, although I’m not 100% sure it’s the same place I saw. But I think it is.
The place I saw was badly cut up, poorly maintained, and needed a complete gut reno.
There were no details remaining in the apt.
There’s no garden level. (There’s just a basement).
The location is not so great.
The block is not so pretty.
The price will need to be lowered significantly.
I can’t imagine who would buy this for even close to this price.
