Houses of the Day: Head-to-Head in The Slope
When 590 2nd Street (right) hit the market three months ago for $3,200,000, we thought it had a pretty good shot at finding a buyer. Apparently not, as the price was just cut to $2,995,000. This, coincidentally, is the same asking price as a new Brown Harris Stevens listings in The Slope, 130 Lincoln Place…
When 590 2nd Street (right) hit the market three months ago for $3,200,000, we thought it had a pretty good shot at finding a buyer. Apparently not, as the price was just cut to $2,995,000. This, coincidentally, is the same asking price as a new Brown Harris Stevens listings in The Slope, 130 Lincoln Place (left). Both houses are two-family, four-story brownstones, though the 2nd Street house is slightly larger, according to PropertyShark. It also gets the benefit of the doubt when it comes to interiors since the Lincoln Place listing is lacking in the photo department. Which do you think has a better chance of selling at this price?

House of the Day: 590 2nd Street [Brownstoner]
A lot of people are happy to send their kids to public elementary school but what happens in middle school when there are 500 applicants for every one spot in the private schools. Then, even if you can afford private school, you can’t get your kid in.
“We plan on putting about 1 million down from our 2 million dollars savings. We are 34 and 35. ”
I am going to the store today to buy some milk.
Noboday cares about that either.
“We plan on putting about 1 million down from our 2 million dollars savings. We are 34 and 35.”
I hope you get wiped out, for your stupidly and fucking greed.
The What ( Come on say I’m jealous )
Someday this war is gonna end…
Why is it any more surprising that someone buying a $3M house would have a mortgage and want public school than someone buying a $1.5M house?
“Montly mortgage is about $13,000 for either of these places. If you get $2000/month for the rental, you’re still paying over $10,000 a month, plus the cost of upkeep. They’re both very nice (especially the 2nd street house) but still way overpriced.”
Amen Amen. 10k a month for a duplex in the slope??!! WTF I so fed up. I think people really believe this bullshit. 3 million for a house huh? How much it will be worth next fucking year 4 million 5 million??? Who ever buys this house will be the last bagholder??
Hey Brownie, Keep pumping this bullshit, You cnbs, The New and brownstoner, the proper ass gander machine.
The What ( Come on pump it up fucks )
Someday this war is gonna end..
2:34 some people send their kids to public school because they believe in the system and do not like the thought of their kids only being exposed to rich kids.
We plan on putting about 1 million down from our 2 million dollars savings. We are 34 and 35.
We make about 600K combined and think good public schools are better for our kids than private. In the research we’ve done, a lot of kids end up really not doing well and not enjoying private school.
What’s so difficult to believe about that?
2:27 — I find that really surprising (seriously). Can you post a little more info on your demographics — expected down payment, amount of savings/investments, income level. I understand that someone might think they can do better with their money in a hedge fund than they pay to have a mortgage, but the public school thing throws me. Without seeming too personal, what are your finances that you would buy a 3MM townhouse, get a mortgage, and send your kids to public school?
