House of the Day: 205 6th Avenue
Other than the kitchen island cabinetry, we’re digging this brownstone at 205 6th Avenue in Park Slope that just hit the market with an asking price of $2,725,000. While generously proportioned and still in possession of many of its original details despite a rather thorough renovation, the house lacks a one-of-a-kind status and is located…
Other than the kitchen island cabinetry, we’re digging this brownstone at 205 6th Avenue in Park Slope that just hit the market with an asking price of $2,725,000. While generously proportioned and still in possession of many of its original details despite a rather thorough renovation, the house lacks a one-of-a-kind status and is located on an avenue, so it’ll be quite interesting to see if it can achieve its asking price. Should be quite a bullish sign for the area if it can!

I have a question about the fireplaces. Except for the kitchen, none has a stone or marble hearth on the floor; the wood flooring just goes right up to the mantle, I’ve seen this quite a few times before. Does it mean that they were originally just decorative mantels or were the hearths removed at some point? I’ve always been curious about this.
This house is gorgeous and I love the kitchen! Those fireplaces, that molding, swoon.
Central A/c would be nice – especially since they just did a big reno, they should have done that as well. Its so much more expensive to do after the fact. But aside from that, I don’t see what there is not to like?
i’ll never ever be able to afford a house like this, but if i could, i would buy this one. i actually like 6th ave as a location — i like the east/west exposures. although i’d rather be farther from union, which is such a busy street. but for me, such considerations are entirely hypothetical.
Great looking house. I really like the kitchen, something I don’t say very often. Looks like a good job all around. I’m also one of those people who doesn’t think every man, woman and child in a house needs their own bathroom. This looks like a great family home.
Looks pretty prime to me. High end reno: kitchen cabs may not be to brownstoner’s taste (or mine especially) but plenty of people like traditional. Great windows in the rear parlor. Italianates are more airy (usually wider and lighter) than brownstones built later in the C.19 but quite rare in Park Slope. Also, it’s a 2-bed rental which means more rental income. I’d be very surprised if this went for less than $2.5m.
11217, that’s probably true but if it were a well designed system with more than just 2 zones, it would be a lot more efficient.
What’s wrong with the kitchen island cabinettry? I think it looks great.
Ah, I see the window airconditioners now.
But a neighbor of mine has central A/C in her brownstone and uses window air conditioners in her house so that she can just cool the rooms she’s in and says it’s tons cheaper than running the central a/c all the time.
i would literally kill someone for that kitchen.
