For someone looking for a relatively affordable entree into the Park Slope townhouse market, this semi-detached house at 645 Baltic Street might fit the bill. On the plus side, the house has attractively renovated kitchens, a new roof, recently updated mechanicals and a new gas boiler. It’s currently configured as two floor-through rentals over an owner’s duplex.

But the new renovation doesn’t seem to have erased the marks of an earlier mid-century one. We’re not loving the step up to the owner’s living room in the split-level extension on the back. And while you don’t actually have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other, as the floor plan seems to indicate, the partition closing off the front bedroom seems to have been placed in an awkward spot. The old replacement doors don’t help, and the mantels appear to be in need of restoration.

But for $2,495,000, do you think it’s attractive?

    That’s exactly what I was thinking as well.

    Are you a property owner or in the market?

    Anyways, we are in the market as well and I would love to talk more with you my email is: bronxbmbrs2k3 at Yahoo.com

  2. It’s 3000sf per the listing (and even that seems a bit of a stretch), so they are asking $831 psf. And they may yet get it because the market right now is CRAY CRAY. I do find myself wondering i f we are due for a wee correction.
