Etson: What you say makes sense because when I walked by over the weekend, people were definitely living in the ground floor unit in the front. I thought the windows were high enough from ground level to make it pretty private though. No less private than any of the garden or parlor levels of the brownstones on the block.
Would a brand new gut renovation like this really require a full time super? Perhaps that’s something that can be phased in later as more problems arise…
That isn’t the nicest unit at the brothel, if I remember right. It’s at the front on the ground floor, and not very private. Think it’s an OK price based on square footage – others in the building are priced higher per sq ft.
The larger units at the back of the building are nicer and have some outdoor space (but more expensive still). I liked the finishes in the apartments, but they did a cheap job on the common areas. Also I understand the building will only have a part-time super. All in all I would consider it but think their prices need another cut.
I’ve made no secret of my love for the Lincoln Brothel. It’s worth mentioning also that some of the units have a view into the Olive Vine’s backyard patio … you could leave amusing messages in your window for the customers to read. 😛
Why does Street Easy list 1A as sold for $1mm and not $1.018mm?
LincolnSlope: You live on one of the most beautiful blocks in PS, that’s for sure. The access on the Q/B or 2/3 is fantastic from the area. Took me 20 minutes to get to Union Square this morning for a meeting. Door to door.
p.s. In Streeteasy, it says that unit 1A at 153 Lincoln Place sold for 1 million even. I’m not seeing where it says 1,018,250.
In any case, that would be odd, wouldn’t it….one dollar less would have avoided the mansion tax, yes?
That’s a really impressive number for the Carroll St house. I don’t think they’d have gotten more than that at the peak.
That place is great. I live on the street, so I am bias, but I love my street! That garden is beautiful and the building is so charming. I can’t tell you anything about the units, but it is a lovely area and a fantastic building. The access to subway is great as well. It takes me 35 minutes (door to door) to get to work in midtown because of the Q/B.
that Bay Ridge house looks way bigger than 2,650 sq ft, no?
