House of the Day: 150 Lincoln Place
This brownstone at 150 Lincoln Place in Park Slope hit the market a couple of weeks ago with an asking price of $3,195,000. It’s a pretty gorgeous house (lots o’ original details plus tasteful) modern kitchen so we wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up going pretty close to ask. We’d place our bet on…

We’d place our bet on it coming in at just under the psychological barrier of $3 million. Thoughts?

close! but most likely it will just wind up being two dorks doing the exact same thing on the macbooks.

It is a a beauty but as a purist I’m not crazy about the open layout. I don’t see how the current owners could have stared at the two white structural pillars. Also, little things like leaving the brass catch for the now defunct pocket doors annoy me. Why is everyone so against walls these days. I’m all for light and openess, but walls are not our enemies, especially in historic structures.
It looks nice, but I think for convenience the kitchen and living room should be on the same floor. it is so not about going up and down stairs all day long.
Not so sure about the marble bathroom. But on the overall the renovations look nice.”
Pigeon, they look like they are original to the house to me. if they are not, they are certainly reclaimed period beams. What I have a problem with is the exposed steel in the basement (garden) level and the starkness of the sheetrocked steel beam with the modern columns on the parlour level.
I really like this house – I think the renovations are very well done
is it me though or are the furnishings VERY Odd – the style/the quality/placement of items and rugs just doesn’t sit right with me!
but yes I know am not buying the items inside the house
I think it will get close to ask as well!
I’m not so sure that removing all of those walls on the parlour floor was a good idea. The result looks so austere and cavernous (could just be the way the pics were taken). Might have been better to just enlarge existing openings.
by the way, before anyone says anything… 2-1/2 baths is PLENTY. I’d actually say it’s ideal for this size house. It’s not a bar with a need for multiple urinals and the residents (and guests) don’t need 1.3 toilets or a shower per person.
Does anyone have an idea as to whether the exposed beams are really beams… or are they fake beams?
cgfan- couldn’t agree more. however, it is half a crime to effectively tear down a turn of the century layout and its details in a well preserved home. unless you’re a famous dead architect, then you’d probably prefer living with kitchen on parlor. most folks will pass through the parlor museums. and it’s two flights if you count the round trip.
