When Montrose posted 664 Jefferson Avenue as the Building of the Day on Tuesday, it was clearly because of the woodframe house’s architectural interest. Of course, the small For Sale sign in the photo led to heated discussion about what this place would sell for. The owner of the house, curious to know what Brownstoner readers thought it was worth, saw the post and sent in some photos of the interior. It actually just went into contract so it’s an academic exercise but fun nonetheless. Hopefully he’ll tell us the contract price when the widget voting has concluded. GMAP
Bathrooms?? As in two??? Probably only room enough for one.
You might want to ad to the reno cost with a second floor addition above the one on the first floor.
mopar….$100-150,000 reno on a $225-250,000 cost.
There’s no listing, no floorplan. The house is 20X25 with a 10 X 20 addition on the back of the first floor. I assume there’s no fireplace and that all it originally had was a stove.
Kitchen is small? Is there a floor plan I missed?
How would you make the numbers work? Wouldn’t this be a $300,000 reno in a $530,000 house?
That site above has some awesome kitchen porn^^^^
Nice! Nice! Nice! Dave, I am with you 100 percent, I think that would look fantastic and be totally appropriate to the house. Wow.
OK, what would you do with the bathrooms?
Soapstone, mopar, with a soapstone farmers sink. The kitchen is small so there’s no reason not to go with expensive wood cabinets with true recessed and hinged doors…like the expensive ones that TOH get out of Maine.

Well, nomi, I’m not a shrink (although I know enough of them to know better about my schizo comment), but brenda’s right, this old house stuff isn’t for the faint of heart, as many of us keep finding out the hard way. But in all honesty, it’s really the money, not the house, that is the cause of the freak out. Having lived through a major reno/quasi preservation job, it’s the money hemorrhage that kept me up at night. There’s nothing that can go wrong with a house that can’t be fixed with enough cash, which not all of us have.
DIBS, if you bid more than the other guy and you put up all or mostly all cash, you’ll get it.
What would you do with the interior? Is a marble counter too fancy for a house of its era?
