House of the Day: 564 2nd Street
This new listing at 564 2nd Street is a goodie. It’s also a biggie. The Romanesque Revival house is five-stories tall, 23 feet wide and, on the bottom two floors, 65 feet deep. And, based upon the photos, the interior is magnificent, especially the original woodwork. The listing notes that the house could use some…
This new listing at 564 2nd Street is a goodie. It’s also a biggie. The Romanesque Revival house is five-stories tall, 23 feet wide and, on the bottom two floors, 65 feet deep. And, based upon the photos, the interior is magnificent, especially the original woodwork. The listing notes that the house could use some “updating,” but given the size and quality of the interiors, we bet that they’ll get pretty darn close to the asking price of $2,995,000.

I completely love it. It could use another bathroom but it’s fab.
The perfect house to raise a family in and do some entertaining….if it’s in your budget.
No peeing in the walk-in closet.
I’m glad I’m not the only one to conflate WIC and W/C.
Sorry Minard. Those are only sinks on the top two floors. Additional bathrooms above the one on the third floor are a very easy installation, although supply lines to the bathroom on the third floor are probably not adequate to feed the above bathrooms and will probably need to be bypassed. Still not a difficult job.
Minard, it says WIC — walk in closet.
Thank you, Minard.
Stargazer, this is how it was 1870-1890. Piped-in sinks and chamber pots for the children and servants. Full bathroom for the parents.
doesn’t “w/c” stand for water closet?
Those are toilets. The sinks are separate and are part of the dressing areas between the front and back bedrooms. That is the standard original layout for brownstones in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
They were all built like that. Sometimes the sinks are works of art, hand-painted and very beautiful. Definitely not to pee in.
Sheesh, this blog…….
STARGAZER, never heard of servants and chamber pots??? This house hasn’t been touched from the third floor up!!!!
