House of the Day: 184 West 9th Street
There’s no accounting for taste. This three-family house at 184 West 9th Street was recently renovated and while the interior is just bland in a Home Depot kind of way this facade is one for the record books. What were they thinking! There’s a lot of square footage so maybe the asking price of $1,899,000…

What were they thinking! There’s a lot of square footage so maybe the asking price of $1,899,000 will end up working for an investor. It’s hard to imagine a buyer falling in love with this.

I think it would be nice to have one of those upstairs apts with the small porch on front of house. I don’t recall seeing that done around here.
you can hope, but its in vain. Religions of every type are at the top of my insult list.
Ditto, nope. Not my intention. I wasn’t involved in any of the discussions here on Brownstoner about it, but I have been paying attention to political discourse and to news reports of the atrocious behavior and vitriolic things being said about Muslims in general and about this mosque in particular.
It is unfortunately helping to color the mood of the country and is contributing to the zeitgeist of our worst traits being far more powerful than our best.
I do hope you were not referring to the mosque being built as a “martyr complex”, but rather were referring to the reactions of particular people in the various discussions?
And Smudge, absolutely discussions can be less than gracious and friendly — especially here! Hell, I take part at times. But this was veering toward something truly classist, ugly and xenophobic.
What is amazing, aside from all of the above, is what must have been said at the walk through and pricing discussion between the owner and Philip Henn of Corcoran.
“I’m serious, Park Sloper. This is someone’s home. A family’s home, and the discussion of the property needn’t be so strident or mean.”
I dunno. Discussion of a family’s home should be be gracious and friendly. Discussion of a Nightmare on 9th Street property priced at nearly two million dollars can be strident and mean.
It reminds me of the Tropicana casino in Atlantic city!!!! It smells like a Pina Colada!!
By the way, commerical was a spelling mistake, but now that I see it, I think it is appropriate.
commercial + comical = commerical!
Noki: “I guess given the current “discussions” about the mosque downtown”
Benson: “we stare at computer screens all day and snark on the taste of people we deem to be below us, all to Mr. B.’s commerical benefit. ”
I see the conversation is veering back towards the huge martyr complex that is either being built downtown or being attributed to Benson
You are laughing at the architecture and style, but the price is even more hilarious.
