Double duplex is ideal for 2 couples to share who can’t afford 1 brownstone each.
429 is beautiful but has a weird layout with the kitchen for the so-called owner’s triplex on the 3rd floor. Buyer would definitely want to pay to change that. It’s advertised as an “easy conversion to a double duplex”, which is true, but a funny thing to advertise since most buyers prefer a standard triplex.
I’ve been inside 429 and the parlor is absolutely breathtaking–pics don’t do it justice. Pier mirror, plaster moldings, parquet floors, marble mantles, pocket doors in tact down to the porcelain knobs. It’s all there and in pristine condition. Maybe you can find that regularly in townhouses in Fort Greene or Clinton Hill, but in Boerum Hill it’s fairly rare. A lot of the houses on the block were cut up at some point in the last century. Our interior was semi destroyed when it went 4 family, some time after the war. . . .

$:36, LOL!!
i’m not sure what makes 429 Pacific worth 400k more than 439? they are both double dupplexes of about the same size and both look to be in nice, but not extraordinary condition. no great details, or an amazing modern renovation in either, but obvioulsy in better condition than most 4 fams. most people will want a 1 fam or triplex with rental for these prices, so they’ll both need somw work. so how is one worth 400k more than the other?? has anyone been inside either that can explain this?
Isn’t it strange that the folks of that era built incredibly beautiful houses and yet didn’t have bathrooms, while today we manage great indoor plumbing everywhere and build unbelievably ugly houses.
most older townhouses had a cistern in the back yard. my house on henry st (in cobble hill) had one that we found when we dug up the back yard. it was 6′ deep and about 5′ in diameter and was filled with dirt ash and lots of old bottles, plates and other late 19th century artifacts. it was pretty cool. there is a retired firefighter who lives on hicks st and goes around to all of the townhouses being renovated in the neighborhood and asks if he can dig them up and keep the bottles. he says all of the houses had them and he loves collecting these old bottles and selling them at flea markets. the bottles are very cool, many little bottles (smaller than any made today) of medicine and tonic, etc.
I once looked at city records on my house – Indoor plumbing was added in 1912. I think house dates from 1850’s.
