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
“As I sit here listening to a plumber sawing out foot after foot of rotted-out ancient galvanized drain line (after having to butcher the floor AND wall of my laundry room, after it rained during the rinse cycle on my newly-replastered cove moldings downstairs, after we just re-roofed to fix the leak two feet away from this one)…I am reminded that there are others afflicted with this peculiar form of insanity. Slaves of Old Houses, unite!” (Brenda)
Wow, yeah. I am not as tough as you people. I feel anxious just reading this.
Brenda, that was one of my top 3 reasons for buying a house in brooklyn…I got bored with a lack of projects elsewhere!!!!
“Glad you agree dibs. Nomi was quoting you. We can definitively rule out schizophrenia, now.” (slopefarm)
Ha, yeah. I was going to say same. Well, minus the schizophrenia, since that’s an incorrect diagnosis! (Schizophrenia is not split personality .. . .)
Oh, Brenda!
LOL, Slopefarm.

LOL, slope. I thought that sounded familiar!!! You’ve still got a laundry list of other disorders though!!!
Glad you agree dibs. Nomi was quoting you. We can definitively rule out schizophrenia, now.
“Nothing in those photos is anything to be put off by.”
Oh.

I tootally agree. If he’s trying to show us the worst parts, this won’t be a bad renovation. Like I said, LR walls look OK, floor looks great and that tin ceiling will be really nice when cleaned up.
