ANyone have links to the 6th ave house?
It says above that there’s an artist’s studio, so that’s prbly what that extra place above the garage is.
the 6th ave house was very nice, but for a specific type of buyer with specific tastes and lifestyle. heavy space emphasis on gigantic, luxurious bathrooms. lots of new, somewhat modern (nice, but simple, not retro in any way but not like you’d see in dwell either) woodwork throughout. a very fun open kitchen, dining, living area that gives the new owner’s a trophy for entertaining. very lovely outdoor deck, smallish backyard, parking and a room above for i don’t know what exactly because as i recall there was no bath in there, so it’s not a guest suite yet. there were like a trillion people from all the various REBNY agencies in there and clearly the person who bought it must have lost out on other attempts to purchase and ponied up a ton of money to make sure they got it. it still happens folks. one house + one buyer = one sale.
I assure you the tax increases will be phased in. In about 10 years, taxes will probably be $12K.
But, please. Give us home owners a break. Everything else in NYC is so expensive, at least r.e. taxes were a (disappearing) deal.
I think the garage did it. you know how hard is it to find parking everytime i drive to the area!!!
Just love out real estate tax system.
$2.9m house has $4000tax and house that sells for less than 1/3 the price has $3100.
obviously the broker
Thanks for the advice Mayra.
Hey Anon 1:11pm: I’m one of the dopes. Thanks for setting me straight. I thought maybe the two car garage was the big selling point, but then I remembered that anytime a regular row house has “garage space” it’s basically concrete in the garden. But then you did also mention the steam room, which implies that they probably have jacuzzis in the bathrooms and water beds installed in the bedrooms — hence the price!!!!
I went to the open house for the 6th Ave. house. The interior was newly renovated but not to my tastes (a little new agey eg. bamboo walls etc.) However, the outdoor spaces were amazing and the artist’s studio a nice little getaway if you’re keeping it for yourself. Location not in 321 school district but nice and close to subways.
