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?

tinarina–great point. So many places that need updating are photographed with layers of crap everywhere so they just look depressing. Here you can see the details and nice bones. I think this place will hit ask.
Agree wasder. My tenants take the mail in and do the plastic/glass recycling. They also shovel snow when I’m not there. I cut their rent a bit this time around because they’re ideal tenants.
Can’t comment on price, but kudos to the owner or broker who staged this place to look as desirable as possible. Clearly it needs updating, but it’s clutter-free and inviting. I would have put smaller plants on the mantel pedestals though!
Some people just like space, especially if you use as part as a home office or anything.
Miss Muffett,
Why do so many people hate the F train?
And with top floor rental, hallway is shared space and you lose space of second stairwell. So usable square footage is quite a bit less than actual. . . . and price/psf higher.
Figured that last part out myself 😉
Manischevitz! Some of you landlord types on here are mean. The way to have a successful landlord/tenant relationship IMO is to first screen tenants and find one that you think will jive with you. And then be generous with space and price and you will have loyal tenants who want to stick around, My tenants do so many helpful things for me when I am not around–garbage, mail collection etc–without asking for anything in return.
In re F train, Miss Muffet I find it hard to believe that the F is so bad that the convenience of this location would not be a plus. I have lived on F and think that this ride into town is pretty easy and convenient. Hard to imagine that train snobbery figures into it that much.
I’m with Brownstonerlogin. don’t want to share yard with my tenant, who lives on the top floor. we also built an interior staircase much like the one depicted in this floorplan in order to accommodate such a setup. we put in a lot of soundproofing materials in the floors and even in our ceilings during the (basically) gut reno we did a few years ago. that setup works well for us.
“I don’t get the constant whining of ‘While it’s only three stories.'” (Dave)
Me neither.
“Aren’t the majority of people in NYC single, married or at most married with one child; the vast majority??????” (dave)
Um, I am one of the above, so that’s what matters to me. Four stories is way too much for me.
But maybe for many, four is more desirable, I don’t know.
I do NOT think it’s a price/size comment, however, as Miss Muffet suggested. (“the asking price of $1,695,000 sounds attractive”) Though it’s comforting that she hasn’t changed her tune . . .
