“Brownstones are brick underneath. Is it possible to take a brick-faced building and make it brownstone?”
Absolutely, but the SP house in question is DEFINITELY an original brownstone.

Remember, its Willow Place between State and Joralemon, not Willow Street up near the promenade. Still, its a lovely neighborhood down there. Was looking at the front of four condos at 51 Columbia Place a block away last weekend and thinking about giving the broker a call to check them out(anyone know about those? All been dropped about 200K each in the past 6 months!) and the BQE noise isn’t bad at all (I currently live right off the trench and know BQE noise).
I live on 46th between 3rd and 4th. The house on the corner of 3rd (about 10 feet from the elevated bqe), a two story plus basement, in bad shape needing a lot of work, just went for almost 700.
I agree with 12:11 — 1.7mil for BH and and on Willow? There must be a hitch.
While I agree that the Sunset Park house is high, it is not that way off. Three floor brownstones on the nice blocks are now going for over $900K. This house is a a four floor house and it is definitely a brownstone – there are a number of four floor brownstones on that block on the top of the hill, north side of the street. Comparing this to other recent sales in the neighborhood, and that fact that it doesn’t need a gut reno, a price of $1 million is totally within reason.
I own a three family frame across the street from 471 51st Street. It gets really noisy in the summer from the large apartment building across the street. If they get anywhere near that $1.1m asking price, I will eat my shoe.
Is it really possible that the Sunset Park building has a rent roll of 75K per year?
12:11, I was thinking the same thing. Or maybe it’s priced that way because it’ll cost a lot to convert this place to a 1 or 2 family? The backyard looks nice!
