House of the Day: 545 9th Street
This three-story limestone house at 545 9th Street in Park Slope just hit the market and is looking pretty interesting to us. While it’s only three stories, it’s got a lot of historic charm and is located only a half-block from Prospect Park. Given those last two positives, the asking price of $1,695,000 sounds attractive….

Even on a per-square-foot basis (which comes out to about $600), it’s not too bad. Thoughts?

My 2 cents:
For once, I agree with Rob! It is kinda nasty to have someone living on the garden level and not allow them out at all. Under deck=fine. At least give them something!
I have pets, so I prefer to live downstairs. My dogs wake up at 5:30 am with us and want to go out.
When purchasing, I only looked at 4 stories so I could get more rental income for a larger apartment/duplex. Unless 3 stories were less expensive, which they really weren’t.
Lived on the F line (9th St stop) for about 12 years. Yeah, it sucks.
Yes, wasder…gig problems coming up for F train and G train service. G already using buses on weekends & evenings from Hoyt Schermerhorn.
F train work is going to be extensive.
“Not if F train service is suspended entirely – which has happened like once a week this month.”
whoa! seriously? well that certainly changes the equation. hadn’t heard about service being that bad.
three stories is just fine – even with a tenant. we have three stories and no tenant but we really only use 2 floors. so we could probably get along fine with a tenant. i agree about garden floor tenant. if i had a tenant, it would definetly be on the garden.
can’t comment on the price. seems high to me.
the F train is a slow crawl train that usually is plagued with delays
9th street between 5th up to the park is fine, it’s a bit busy but not that bad.the closer you get to the park it gets quieter
“F train is slow, sure, but being 1/2 block from the F train is still faster than being 4 or 5 blocks from another train, door to door.”

Ding ding ding–we have a winner.
9th Street is hardly a highway. Traffic is not a big issue, since this block is entirely residential and hence no trucks. This is on the north side of the street, and 9th Street’s extra width means you get a lot more sunshine in winter.

It is amazing that a smaller Park Slope Real Estate Brokerage like Orrichio can constantly beat out Prudential Douglas Elliman’s Park Slope ofice for townhouse listings. Orrichio obviously has a sound and trusted reputation in the community and works hard to cultivate and maintain relationships with property owners. Keep in mind Orrichio probably only has less than five brokers while PDE Park Slope probably has somewhere around 30. One has to wonder what the heck the PDE Park Slope office does to gather business. Corcoran and Brown, Harris continuously have many townhouse listings of quality. PDE Park Slope lags in this area in the most severe way even though the office is in the heart of Seventh Avenue and the townhouse district. Perhaps the agents just sit around waiting for the phone to ring, the community is not satisfied with the service received or a sheer inability to harness listings with townhouse owners. Further, it is likely the director of sales cannot inspire the agents to hustle and be creative and this certainly does not help gather sound business nor townhouse listings. It seems that the director engages in artificial form and no substance as a method for maintaining employment. PDE Park Slope now has become the rental brokerage office of Park Slope except for Ideal who does not proport to be anything more than a rental office and who probably still beats out PDE Park Slope for rental listings.
