House of the Day: 7 St. Marks Avenue
How sweet is this! The old rectory building at 7 St. Marks Avenue in Park Slope is now on the market with an asking price of $2,375,000. The 23-foot-wide house is dripping with detail and the portions shown in the listing photographs look very well preserved. It’s currently divided into four units, though, which usually…

The 23-foot-wide house is dripping with detail and the portions shown in the listing photographs look very well preserved. It’s currently divided into four units, though, which usually means some kind of toll has been taken on the original structure. Still, pretty sweet. What do you think this is worth?

Arkady, rich people do not shower!!!

It’s neighbor, a 30×75 8-unit building at 9 St Marks, sold for $2.1M in early 2008. At over 1000 SF/unit, apartments there would probably command about $2,500/mo. So, 2500 x 8 x 10 x 12 = $2.4M is about right on comp. “Deal” or fair value? (or more than appears on PShark?)
And damn, Pigeon was right to bring up Barclay’s. That site is damn close! This is not prime Park Slope. But hey, if it’s that special, why not ask $5M? Or $10M? Or…

How do you use the shower in that bath w/o getting water everywhere?
It’s 23′ There’s a floorplan on the website and the LR is 20’9″ wide on the inside. I’m sure if you look it up on propertyshark it’ll say 23′
– Nice use of a wide angle lense on the photos (facade shot looks much narrower on GMap than on the broker site)
– I beleive the AY footprint reaches Dean St. (not pacific). So that’s one block closer.
Okay, just checked the deed on ACRIS and it definitely says it’s a 23′ 0″ wide lot but, the thing is, the house clearly, from Google maps, does not extend all the way to the Westerly property line. The house’s front fence returns to the edge of the adjacent property to the West but the arial view shows a strip of vegetation between that line and the house itself that’s probably at least 3′ 0″ wide. That ain’t no 23′ 0″ wide house.
Did anyone see a floorplan on the broker’s site? I couldn’t find one. The reason why I ask is that, going to Google Streetview and looking at the building facade, I have a hard time believing that it’s 23′ 0″ wide. With it being only three (narrow) windows wide, and doing a bit of proportional scaling on the assumption it’s a 5′ 0″ wide entry door, I’d be amazed if it’s more than 20′ 0″ wide.
That said, the insides look extremely nicely done.
It’s nice. I don’t love it. Sorry, bxgrl. Their decor really doesn’t help matters, though strangely the only thing I like are their crystal chandeliers. The cherubs, friezes, and ruby red carpeting really must go.
But what kinda sucks is essentially you have yourself a 2BR (unless those basement rooms are/can be converted. I hate to be a picky sonovabitch but for that $$ I want a triplex in this building.
