House of the Day: 395 10th Street
This new listing at 395 10th Street in the South Slope ain’t much to look at right now, but it’s a nice-sized house in an increasingly popular part of town. Obviously the Flintstones look of the exterior in a real downer and, while there’s an old claw foot tub and a mantel or two, much…
This new listing at 395 10th Street in the South Slope ain’t much to look at right now, but it’s a nice-sized house in an increasingly popular part of town. Obviously the Flintstones look of the exterior in a real downer and, while there’s an old claw foot tub and a mantel or two, much of the original interior charm has been purged. Two strikes against it. The price, however, has just been lowered after a month on the market to $1,495,000 and if someone with more modern inclinations buys this place he or she won’t have to feel guilty about gutting something historic.

DIBS, not saying <650k exists on stuy ave but rather it would need to be something that juicy to be definitely BETTER. <$1M is not definitely better
“i’m sure someone will chime in saying it takes them 15 minutes door to door to get to their job in midtown.”
I wish but no. It’s approximately a 20 minute train ride from Carroll to 34th st.
Does the sofa come with the house? ’cause then its worth the price.
These are the images that should haunt you when you’re thinking about remodeling your historic house. Will the next generation cry that you ripped out those old fashioned details in order to make your historic house more “livable”?
The size and location of the house isn’t bad, and it’s zoned for PS 39, a very good elementary school. It’s hard to know how much is just cosmetics here, and what absolutely needs to be done. We bought a house in similar condition a number of years ago, and we were able to turn it into a decent family sized duplex plus 2 rentals for $100,000 — nothing fancy, but putting in a new kitchen and bathroom plus cosmetics in the duplex. So, deduct the cost of a mid-price renovation and it will still go for over $1 million and be a good deal for that location.
“when I have to go to work, it’s R to the D to the C to get to my job”
3 different trains??? NICE!!!!!
m4l, nothing on Stuyvesant <650k. You’re starting to sound like BHO.
DIBS, nice house <650k on stuy ave is better. NOT <$1M
I get on at 4th Ave/9th Street, and I agree with Snappy; when I have to go to work, it’s R to the D to the C to get to my job, which is technically on the F line, but would take me an insane amount of time longer. Going home, it’s not a bad ride on the F since I don’t have to time the connections.
If I remember, switching at Atlantic is no joy either!!!!
