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.

no seriously, when I stop laughing, I will probably write a negative comment….but for now. hahahahahahahahahahahahah
I think I’m going to be sick….
DIBS, me too (1:55). And actually, once one starts looking around with more care (try the full screen pictures on the Corcoran website), it is sweet. the personal choices tell me a story. Obviously deeply religious (a lovingly displayed china plate collection of Jesus) and proud of their children, they have taken great care with their home. I love the huge grill out back with the bar furniture and the woman’s dressing table with lots of perfume bottles and they clearly LOVE that kitchen. It is so personally decorated and cared for. Reminds me of my Gramma Milly’s old kitchen where everyone would gather. Linoleum-tiled with a huge table and no one ever used the formal living room entrance. We always entered through the kitchen because that was where everyone gathered and where Gramma was likely to be.

Very funny and very scary. Location isn’t bad…”
Babs proves that she is indeed a broker who can spin with the bst of them. This house is located on a street that feeds directly into the entrance of the battery tunnel and is thus always clogged with traffic.
Like it or hate it, this building’s facade is not the key factor in the purchase. It’s a traffic-choked street right off the overhead Gowanus and the BBT entrance, and most of the homes on it are drab, as one would expect.
yah but there is at least 12″ between each side of the oven and the counter. no bueno!
i live a few blocks from this monstrosity.
the exterior is an abomination…the picture is making it look “really good” but it’s really terrible in person. Someone definitely measured alot of things wrong here (aside from the hood)…look at the amount of cheezy marble ‘spindles'(?) outside…they’re butted right up to each other. ugh.
The block absolutely sucks…always lots of traffic and there’s no parking/buffer between the house and 2 lanes of cars screaming towards the bqe. Plus all the foot traffic from smith/9th street shithole station to the RedHook PJs.
At christmastime the whole house is lit up with tons of lights and a tree in the window and the whole thing flashes at once…it’s the best.
awful and FUGLY!!!
DIBS: FORGET ABOUT REFERRING THEM TO ARCHITECTS! REFER THEM TO THIS:

when overs are too tight in places, it’s much harder to clean behind them and in the crevices. so maybe that isnt SO bad.
i took out an oven once to clean behind and under it and on the sides of where it was snugly fit.
i almost cried. it looked like a scene straight out of the Saw movies.
*rob*
wow of all the bad things going on here the one that grates me the most is that oven not fitting snuggly between countertops. WTF?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? gah!
