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.

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.

A front, center and rear parlor??? How many parlors does 1 family need.
Whats with the 2 baths side by side in the garden, will someone be having a peeing contest???
4th and 5th floors no full bathroom, just a sink…..what about middle of the night visits???
Who on Earth could come up with such a stupid design plan????
freaking ridiculous.
oh and adding an elevator, wouldn’t be unheard of in a house this large.
The potential of this house is unbelievable.
The third floor is crying to be a master suite floor. Give up the back bedroom for a gorgeous and huge bathroom. Turn the bathroom into a walk-in closet.
Fourth floor, put in a laundry room and an ensuite bathroom in the core for one of the bedrooms. And a shared bathroom in the smaller back bedroom.
Fifth Floor, same except for the laundry room.
And def. move the kitchen or at least a smaller kitchen to the Parlor floor….and add a dumbwaiter between parlor and Garden Kitchens.
Good for non-showering french hasidics with lots o kids.
Beautiful house. A large family will be quite happy here, I hope. Glad it was never chopped up. The parlour floor is an amazing space. Envy!!!!
10 bedrooms!
One less bedroom than 70 Willow….and $15M less.
Bargain.
I’d put in an elevator (and more bathrooms).
Yes please, I’ll take two. All the rich people I know have five kids, so this is perfect.
three million, pish-posh, a mere pittance for any successful hedge fund manager, law partner, or rapacious derivatives bundler who wants to live in Brooklyn.
